    I lost my first 3 pounds by calorie counting at 1200 for about a week, then I gave up and made gradual changes over several months. I only lost about 5 pounds total. Everything went super fast once I combined reasonable calorie counting with exercise.

    Well when I first lost weight last year (went from 142 to 128, but I was on 1200cal and ended up gaining a bit back >_<) it took about 3 months because I had no clue what was doing lol.
    This time around it took about a month and a half, and I'm on 1500cals a day.

    Well I was really big when i started, I think i lost my first 5 pounds the first week, but honestly this lifestyle change was such a shock to my system that I dropped almost 20 pounds my first month. Now it takes me a long time to lose 5 pounds.

    A month to lose first 6lbs.
    Two months to lose a total of 9 and meet goal.
    However, I am now upping my goal to total loss of 13 lbs as I still have a little gut and backfat. I hate backfat!
    However, I do like typing backfat/backfat/backfat - very liberating!

    8 pounds in 8 days, but after that I've slowed down to a more humane rate. It all depends on how badly you've been treating your body in the meantime.
