took me about 2.5 months0

It took me almost exactly a year (1 year today in fact). I started at 156.8 lbs on 1/24/12. This morning, I weighed in at 136.2. Don't worry about how long it takes, the key is patience. Stick to it and it WILL come off0

I havent lost 20 yet. But I am into my 4th week now and last time I weighed in (the beginning of the week so exactly 3 weeks in) I was down 7 pounds as well. I think that it is a realistic goal to shoot for 20 in 3 months. Good luck!0

7 lbs in 3 weeks is great. Good job!0

3 months0

I'm at a 19.4 pound loss and it has taken about 11 weeks.0

About 90 days, but I fumbled around trying to figure out what really worked for about the first 30. Down 7 more in the last 3 weeks.0

I think the consensus is everyone is different0

It took me about 10 months to lose 20 pounds. I only have about 5 pounds to go, maybe 10.0

When I first started, I lost 5 lbs a week for the first three weeks, but then it slowed to 1 or 2 lbs per week. It really depends on your starting weight.0

for me 3months to lose 20pounds0

7 pounds in 3 weeks is great! Don't set yourself up for failure by expecting to lose weight really fast and then becoming discouraged. ANY steady weight loss every week is great progress!0

About 6 weeks.0

Like 6 or 8 weeks.0

It took me 5-6 weeks. Note that that was from a starting weight of 292 and a BMI of 43%.0

I started MFP on 1/09/2013. I've lost 8.6 pounds as of today. So I'd say a little over a month or about 2 for me.0

I only had 30lbs to loose so my first 20 took almost 5 months because I was building muscle at the same time. Don't try going super speed or you'll only gain it back. Remember it's a life style that you want to create, not a fad :flowerforyou: FANTASTIC JOB SO FAR!0
