    I've lost around 55 lbs. I started last year in July when my youngest child was 7 weeks old. I'd still like to lose another 15lbs.

    I go to the gym 5 times a week and do a combination of aerobics, personal training, cardio and weights on my own, zumba and spinning.

    This is the most vile, horrible photo I could find! :

    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.

    Lost a little over 70lbs in 14 months. Wish I would have tried harder but still happy about results. I have a longggg way to go but MFP has helped alot. Need to start tracking my food on here again!

    55 pounds lost, took me 7 months.
    I'm 5'8" was 204. I'm now 147.

    Started slow by just eating a little less
    After I added exercise, starting with 30 min a day for 5 days
    Eventually I added more cardio and more weight training.
    Changed my diet to fuel my workouts and cut down on all fast food and sweets.
    Now, I do Insanity as a regular workout to keep tone and maintain. every time I finish the 60 day cycle I start over.

    I've lost about 40lbs in a year.... most of which was not "actively" trying to loose weight... it just happened. I've lost about 16lbs of that in the last 2 months of dieting.

    July 2011 I was around 260 pounds when I bothered to keep track on the scale, by September 2012 I had lost 70 pounds.

    Before / after pics from those times, profile pic is most recent.

    I'm 188 now and still got about 8 pounds to go, cold weather and a messed up ankle hindered my progress I was getting from running all the time, and Thanksgiving didn't help either!

    49.5 pounds since December 28, 2011. I'm hoping I can get rid of that last half a pound before my one year :)

    I've lost 135 or so. In truth I've lost a fair bit more than that in fat as I have built up muscle along the way. It happened over the course of about 3 and a half years.
