    If I had to drop 50lbs it would takr 40 weeks. Given that im trying to preserve as much muscle as possible.

    I've lost 39lbs in the past 6 months, starting from 197lbs. I probably think it'll take me another 2-3 months to make it 50lbs but it really does depend on the person.

    But remember, it's not a race. Nice and slowly does it, ensuring you're being healthy and exercising regularly! :) You can do it.

    I'm not quite at the 50lb mark yet but it has took me 8 months to lose 48lbs. I also went through a 13 week plateau.

    13 months! now i cant even lose 1lb :(.. been 3mths since i lost a kg.

    I'm in a similar position, haven't lost weight for 6 weeks. I know, though, it's because I've been letting myself have treats in between meals :(
