    I've lost 53 in 5 months and I'm still going... is that close enough to warrant belonging?


    Patience and consistency are key. And to be patient, you'll need to be flexible and allow your favorite foods. It isn't an all or nothing-or a race. It is a lifelong process. That said, you can usually lose easier and quicker when you start heavier. Just don't stop when you slow or stop losing. Because it is all part of the normal process.

    That's awesome! Yes, I'm looking for people like you who I can get my motivation from. I've been on various anti-depressants the past 5 years and it's always hard for me to lose. So it's good to see people who can get those results in that time frame!

    Well, this month isn't done, so I can't "officially" add it, but I've lost ~72 lbs (haven't weighed today just yet, and it's been about... 6.5 months. (There's a breakdown of month by month that's in my profile, but visible to friends only, though.) From July 2013 to December 2013, I lost 64 lbs.

    This month, so far, I have lost almost 8 lbs

    So, yup, it's possible to lose 77 more by your birthday. :)
