How long will it you take you to reach your goal weight?

Well I was definitely obese. I started Jan 6 2013 and I'm really hoping to be at goal weight of 210 by end of July 2014. The 210 by generalize standards still have me overweight by 30 lbs due to my height . But I have the frame to carry more and I have no intention of being a stick guy. By reaching goal in July it will keep me at about 10 lb per month loss, hoping that's not to quick and ii can keep it off.

If I keep working hard I should be there by my birthday (march 28th)! 9 more pounds to go!

SW: 221.5 lbs
CW: 211 lbs
GW: 117 lbs

I started on January 13, 2014 and am anticipating it will take me 10-14 months to reach my goal!

I started out with a BMI of 41.3 and my BMI is currently 35. I figure it will take me at least until 2015 (likely the end) to reach my goal weight, which will put me at a healthy BMI of 23.6.

I think 16-22 months

I'm hoping half a year to reach my goal size. Don't care for weight though. I am caring more for inches. Getting ripped on the other hand, might take a year.

My goal weight is between 65 and 60 kgs. They're both healthy BMI's but they're not very low, around 23.8-22
My ideal weight would be around 58 kgs (BMI 21) but I don't plan in going that far honestly. If I can re-define my shape (especially on my bottom) 65 looks like a good weight also. I still have to lose 2 kgs to get there so it would probably take a couple of weeks or so, but since I don't see a huge difference coming from such a small weightloss I'll probably just lose a few other kgs until my clothes keep fitting. Then I'll stop and just focus on toning up. I don't know how long will it take to lose the last kgs but it should take less than a few months, depending if I increase my calories soon. I don't really have a plan at the moment I'll just see how it goes.

as long as it needs to?

I lost the first 50 or so very quickly, but recently I've slowed almost to a stop. I take thyroid replacement hormone and I think the local weather has been SO severe that my blood chemistry may be a little off right now.

Fortunately, I still feel so much better on my NO grain, NO dairy, NO sweeteners, and NO salt food plan that I have no interest in adding processed, refined foods back in.

My original goal was to lose 90 pounds in a year, and now it doesn't matter to me whether I meet the goal in a year or not.

I know without question that I WILL meet my goal!

I am 50 years old,, 5'5" and started at 181 pounds my BMI was 30.1 obese for my size.my normal weight range says 111-150lbs. In September I had an emergency appendix surgery and after surgery I weighed myself and lost 10 pounds bringing me to 171. Bringing me to super overweight range of 28.5 BMI. That 10 pound weight loss made me realize how out of shape and unhealthy I was. I then joined Gold's Gym in October 2013. My weigh in with them was 170 pounds. Today I weigh 162 (BMI 27 - still overweight). Since joining Gold's Gym I only lost 8 more pounds... it is coming off so slow. However, I admit I must be more consistent in the gym. There for a while I was only going once a week and kinda watching my weight... I noticed I am beginning to make a bit more traction by journaling what I eat.

Sad thing is back in 2006 (the date my profile pic was taken), I weighed 133 pounds and had just won the Body-for-Life contest at work. Too bad I didn't use those skills to stay skinny. Maintenance was a problem for me. I hope this time around I can stick to it. So I guess what I am saying it is about a lifestyle change that when once we reach our goal, we are done - we will need to work at this the rest of our lives through maintenance and continue with our workouts, weigh ins, watching portions (calories) and try to get as much nutrition in us as possible.

My goal weight is between 125 and 130 pounds (I want to have a bit of fun!) Good luck to everyone!
