    I've managed to lose 23 - 25lbs in a little over 2 months. I seem to have plateaued and now my weight fluctuates within 1-2lbs, but I'm trying not to get discouraged since I recently incorporated walking and weight lifting into my routine.

    I started in November 2011, didn't lose anything until December 2011, lost 7 pounds and gained it right back for no reason. Lost 5 of it, gained it back in March 2012. Re-lost the 5 in May, and now plateauing. So almost a year and only 7 pounds to show for it.

    7 lbs in 7 months. I've been a maniac at the gym and have increased my muscle mass, so I'm not too upset. At this rate, I should be at goal weight in a year (14 more lbs). :grumble:

    I started end of January after I decided I was going to do a bike tour fundraiser with a bunch of friends this August.

    I'm 32, 6'4" and at that time I was 246lbs (thereabouts). Not bad, but I was out of shape compared to what I wanted to be.

    I set an initial goal of 220lbs, played soccer twice a week, plus coached, plus started up P90X and stuck to it (despite some healing ribs). I also did a drastic change in my diet where I went from eating out a lot, to soups, veggies, fruits at home, along with vitamin supplements.

    In one week, I lost 5lbs.

    In two weeks, I lost 10lbs.

    By the 3rd week...weight gain was less..total lost was 13lbs.

    In a month, it was 17lbs.

    In over two months into my "getting healthy program" I had reached 220lbs (so by the end of March).

    Since that time, my weight in a week will fluctuate anywhere from 217 to 224. Only because sickness has been going around the family (it sucks).

    I went from being a 40 in my work pants (38 in regular jeans) down to a 36 in work pants (34 or lower in jeans/shorts...depends on the style/cut).

    Now that things are back in alignment, I'm going to be working out almost everyday, but try not to do two hard workouts in a day (ie. play 90 minutes of soccer PLUS do a P90X workout). Trying to keep it simple, but keeping busy everyday.

    So almost 2 years- I've lost 115 lbs so far but have really slowed down since January 2012....But I know I'll make it.

    Everyone keep up the good work!

    26 lbs, 35 days...

    I will admit that what I'm doing is not considered healthy or recommended, but I'm going into maintenance mode in 3 days, so if anyone is going to tell me that its bad to lose that fast, it's too late!
    My last maintenance (only 5 days, as I needed to stop the diet for a trip somewhere) I managed to eat about 1200 cals/day, carefully tracked, and stayed within 2lbs of my maintenance weight. Now I'm hoping to maintain for longer as the most restrictive phase of this diet comes to a close for now.

    I hope I haven't answered this one yet.

    I lost 30 pounds pre-MFP. Started MFP seriously on Jan 6th of this year when I got my treadmill and lost another 50. I still have another 20 to go minimum.

    I started out at 215lbs, 5'6" around Xmas.

    By March 1st, I had lost 12lbs. At that point, I began working out with my trainer and tracking my food.

    Since March, I have lost another 30lbs, for a total loss of 42lbs so far!

    10lbs in 5 months....slow weight loss, but that's what I wanted. I've never been able to stick to diets and have struggled with my weight for a several years. I wanted to change my diet long term and simply eat more healthy....that way this time I can keep the weight off.

    Plus gave up smoking at same time so really chuffed to have lost!
