have you lost 40lbs + ?

I've lost 70 lbs since the end of Jan 2012. I strive to eat my goal calories, I accomplish this most of the time. I exercise whenever I can..but I know that weight loss is a gradual and I'm just taking it one day at a time

39.5 pounds since end of July. I started taking weekly pictures in September, so I have documented almost thirty pounds of weightloss in photos by now.

Everyone is so inspirational!!

I recently lost 65-75 pounds since September 10, 2012. I want to lose about 23 more pounds. I do one hour of treadmill and one hour of weight lifting five to six times per week. I cut sugar, salt, sodas, juice, ALL fast foods, and foods that are high in fats. You will find that once you cut all of the bad things out of your diet, you can eat more of the healthy foods because fast food is typically significantly higher in calories, sometimes triple the calorie amount.

As far as the amount of weight that I lost in the amount of time that Iost it, I think that that idea is a myth, from personal experience of course. My doctor tells me that I am the healthiest that I've ever been in my life and healthier than he thought that I'd ever be. I have not one health risk whatsoever. It was once said that the earth was flat, so people didn't sail too far out into the see. Christopher Columbus went against all odds and proved the world wrong. What I'm saying is, don't be afraid to work hard and do the unthinkable. I am NEVER hungry because I eat all day. Foods that are low in calories but plentiful. You can do it friend! Don't be a stranger. Let me know how you are doing at anytime if you need a push. Work hard and eat healthy. How much weight have you lost so far?

I've lost 39 (so I'm SO CLOSE TO 40 I CAN TASTE IT!) and today was my 200th day on MFP. I did it all on MFP. May 29, 2012 to December 14, 2012.

I have lost around seventy pounds over the last two and a half years. I still have about thirty pounds to go.

I started in May. I've lost 46 pounds so far.

This is the most recent picture. I take one every ten pounds, so I have a few weeks before the next one.

As you can see, I carry my weight in my butt. I have the standard pear shape.

48 lb down since April 2, 2012 for me, so 8 months. Start 199, current 151, goal 124. I am 5-feet short.

WEll done, great weight loss!

60lbs since the end of Jan 2012... another 20 odd lbs to go... so should be at goal/maintenance by March 2013

#lets hope the pic works lol#

95 lbs lost in 9 months

# maintained since March

i started at beginning of the year 2012 (new years resolution) gone from 200 pounds down to 151 (so far gone from a uk size 20 down to uk 12... looking through most of these posts and there has been fantastic dedication and achievements...way to go everyone

I've lost 81 pounds in 8 months. At the start of my weight loss I was losing 11 - 12 pounds a month. In my 8th month I'm no longer losing that much. All I did was cut out my carbs and ACTUALLY exercised. I did water aerobics during the summer and zumba during the fall.

This was at a 40lb loss exactly. I had 42lbs more to go (technically 34lbs now). I haven't taken a new pic in a while. First image was at 247, second is at 207. And yes I'm very tall.

Edit to say, this took me about 4 1/2 months. Started losing quickly and it's started to slow down once I got out of the "obese" category.

70 pounds in 18 months...

Unfortunately for me I did not find MFP until I had less than 5 pounds to get to maintenance. Great site. I would have done much better had I been here earlier.
