    It took me about 4 months to lose 50 pounds. I started January 1st and I had wanted to lose 40 pounds by my 40th birthday, which is near the end of April. I had surpassed that and think I was at the 50 pound mark by then. I changed EVERYTHING drastically and exercised 5 days per week. I currently have about 87 pounds off, after 2 years.

    8ish months to lose 47lbs, the last 7lbs coming off after I transitioned into maintenance, in March. No exercise while actively losing weight.

    It took me 7 1/2 months, but it took my the first 5 months to lose 25 lbs. The only consistent exercise I did for those 5 months was 2-3 walks a week. Starting in January, I did Hip Hop Abs, 30 Day Shred, Fluidity, and made sure to go for walks 3-4 times a week. I lost the other 25 lbs in 2 1/2 months. I'm almost at my 10 month mark and am down 70.

    5 1/2 Months to lose the first 50, an average of 2.7 pounds a week. Now I'm 9 months into losing the next 50 (only 6 more to go!). I sort of stalled out during the holiday season. Not gaining, but not losing either. My average is more like 1 1/5 pounds a week now. Walking and various workout DVDs for exercise.

    Took me 5 months to lose the first 50 pounds and then things slowed down. Took off a total of 80 so far.
    Only consistent exercise I did was 2 walks daily. Now I use weights, walk and ride my bike.
