    10 months to shed 100 pounds, another 6 for about 40 more to include a lot of body recomposition. I let food and fitness take a backseat to other stuff in life for a while and I'm currently about 15-20 pounds heavier than in the "after" pictures, but I've maintained around 125 pounds lost for well over a year.

    Eat healthy, exercise, hydrate, rest, and be patient. Those were my "tricks" for getting fit.

    I'd like to lose about 5-10 pounds again and drop a few more BF% but don't have any desire to be as thin as I was at my lowest weight.

    they say MNT is the hardest part!!! looks like your still in Pro catagory with that 125 for over a year now!!! WOOT! Congrats!

    i'm down 85 pounds in 7 months, My goal is to be done in 9 months! I GOT this! but i definately work for it (My HRM says i spent 876 hours working out last week for a total of 9436 calories. And this is pretty much how every week has been for the last 6 months.
    You better get a new HRM, because there are only 168 hours in a week. If it can't even keep track of time, I wouldn't trust the calorie burn estimates!

    I want to congratulate all of you on your life changing transformations. I look forward to being there too. I started one week ago and down only 6 pounds but its 6 closer to my goal of losing 150 by May 2014. Everyone one of you are very inspiring. Hope to join your ranks in 15 months.

    I've lost 100 lb from my highest weight (Nov 2011) but since I started in earnest on 29th December 2012 I've lost 77lb in 10 weeks.

    No pics until I reach my goal weight!

    You look AMAZING!!! 20 years younger also!

    Thank you so much! It actually took me longer because I didn't knew about MFP. When I started this journey I started to eat healthy and running from time to time. Now I run 45-60 minutes and do strenght training too. :D

    Thank goodness! I was mentally beating myself up because I have only lost 24 pounds in just over six months and get depressed when I compare myself to people who have done 100 pounds in a year. I reckon it will take me a total of 2 - 2.5 years to lose a full 100 pounds. I am in my early 50s but that should be no excuse.

    Well done and thanks for posting this....And you all look fabulous!

    approaching my year anniversary as to when I began my lifestyle change. April 4th will be a year. As to the person that said pictures must be included or it did not happen that is your thought. For me I am not on here to make anyone prove anything to me. Its a helpful site for people to get encouragement and advice. Keep up the positive thoughts and keep moving forward. Little steps everyday add up to big losses over time!

    It will likely take me 2-2.5 years as well. My plan is to do it slowly, to help make the lifestyle changes stick. I also had surgery a few weeks ago, which puts things on hold for a few months, giving me time to practice maintenance while I can't exercise. I'm halfway there, so now is as good a time as any to take time for evaluation and reflection.
