It Took Me A Hair Over 6 Months To Lose 109lb To My Original Goal Weight.

I took the loooong route. I established my goals, and then made small changes every day to reach those goals. So I began my weight loss journey in 2008, and reached my initial goal weight of 145 in the beginning of 2011. Sooo...about 3yrs. But the great thing is that, while it may have taken me awhile to reach that goal, I've stayed there for over a year and a half now because instead of "dieting," I changed my life.

100 pounds in a little under 10 months.

For me, it was all about setting little goals; something achievable and working toward it and then, on a week to week basis .. driving to see a steady decline. I didn't care if it was 10 pounds or 1/10 of a pound. Any improvement over the week before was positive.

I had 68 pounds to lose. I lost the first 60 in 5 months, and it took me four months to lose the last 8. So nine months total

What did you do to lose so much in such little time?!?! I need to lose about 70 lbs or so and the weight is coming off so slowly!

Hi, I lost 57lb in approximately 7 months. I'm 40 years old and started at 202lb I now weigh 145lb. Just a tiny bit left to go. I just weigh everything and log the lot. Walk and stay within my calorie goal. I stopped loosing about half way and started to zig zag my intake, tricked my body, ate low one day and high the next. Worked for me.

It took me a year to reach my goal of 75lbs (July 2011 to July 2012) and within the healthy weight range. I've since lost another 5 lbs. and I'm attempting to lose another 5-9 lbs. The key has been tracking every single thing I eat and running.
