    So far, I've lost 53lbs. 23 before MFP that was lost with dieting alone, and 30 since I started MFP with a combination of diet and exercise (running and strength training)

    My highest loss was 50. I started at 194 and hit 144 in March. I tend to get off track, so it took me about a year I think. (here's to hoping the photo fits/works)

    I have lost 112 so since March. The first fifty took about three months I think. The first 50 was with diet changes only, no exercise. Then around the 50 pounds lost mark I started feeling a LOT better, and added some exercise.

    Due to my age and several medical issues, it took me a year to lose 45 pounds then another year to lose 15 pounds. I'm thinking it will take another year to lose the last 15 pounds. I don't know how to post pics or I'd gladly do so.

    I have lost 116 so far. I started in January 2011 and lost about 90 pounds in 9 months, then fell off track for the rest of the year and gained almost 30 back. Restarted January of 2012 and am still going strong. Currently staying off the scale til the end of the year.

    I've lost a total of nearly 90 pounds. When I first started, I lost 40 pounds in 4 months. Lots of fruits and vegetables and cardio!

    I've lost 52lbs--don't have "progress pictures" but I will say that I went from a snug 24 to a loose 20/snug 18. It took me about 5-6 mos (slow progress) but I keep in mind that I haven't been as "disciplined" as I could have been. I did this w/o a 'workout' regimen so imagine if I had incorporated one. :)

    It took me 12 1/2 months to hit the 100 pounds lost mark. It was around 4.5 months for 40 pounds.

    I lost ~50 pounds within ~4 months when I was my heaviest a couple of years ago. From the beginning of 2012, I've lost 71 pounds (so 71 pounds in 11 months). Altogether, 121 pounds.

    I have lost 80 pounds without MFP and that took me 3-4 years. It is hard for me to stick with a diet so I usually just have patience and try my best and eventually it does pay off! With MFP I have lost 12 pounds since this summer, but I have been losing more inches now.

    I've lost 82lbs so far. Its taken me 16 months but I did the majority (65lbs) in the first 8 months and went a bit off course and now am slowly getting down to my goal of 90lbs and ultimate goal of about 110lbs weight loss.
