Slow is better 1/2 to 1 lb a week is optimum. Just a half lb a week is 26lbs a year. Ideally i want to get to a point that i don't have to count calories at all. I've been eating under my maint cal for 5 months and i eat plenty.1

It depends entirely on your body, your metabolism, diet and exercise. It took me 3.5 months to lose 30lbs. My weight loss has slowed down lately though since I'm a lot closer to my goal weight.0

At a rate of 1lb a week, 30 weeks or 7.5 months.

I don't know how long it should take, but it took me 6 months to lose 35lbs 2 years ago. I am trying to get back there after having a baby. I have 20 more lbs to lose. Hopefully it'll take around the same amount of time this time:) Just keep going and don't give up, it'll happen.1

I started my journey in May 2012 - lost 34 lbs by November - gained 12 over winter - and now I'm back up to 33lbs....lol...so it has taken me over 1 year to lose 33 lbs. Slow and steady wins the race - eventually.0

You could lose it in 3 months. But you would have to really watch what you eat. Have lots of chicken, salmon, avocados, apples, oatmeal for breakfast, salads, veggies, yogurt, and lots of water! Losing weight takes time but if you eat right and excercise atleast twice a week you should lose the weight. dont overwork yourself and don't go overboard on trying to count every little calorie. Bc you won't last on your diet. Just eat healthy and it'll pay off. And these diet pills don't work so save your money. Its all about what you eat.0

I'm 3 months in to loosing 25 pounds. I'm 17 down. It takes a while. I probably have 2 more months to go but have been aiming for mid June since the get go, so I'm still pretty much on track. Loss has gotten slower, but a lot of that I think has to do with more social events, travel etc. this time of year. I've been aiming for 1 lb a week.0

It took me 9 months to get from 175 to 145 (where I am maintaining). It was longer than I expected, but honestly...I'm glad it took longer because my new healthy habits had lots of time to stick! I also didn't deprive myself of anything that I really wanted. If I didn't have ANY ice cream, pizza, fried food, chocolate....maybe it would've taken less time but what kind of life is that?? Break some old unhealthy habits, create some new healthy habits, and practice moderation. You'll get there0
