Just curious on what people have lost in what time frame?
So, how much weight have you lost so far and how long has it taken you?

    I started at 342 and am currently at 215.

    So, currently I'm down 127 lbs. :)

    I lose it in spurts. I started in 2005 or so, and in a year lost down to about 270. Then started training with powerlifters and gained 40lbs back, but also got super strong. Didn't want to be 300+ so I started cutting again. Got down to 230, then gained 25lbs back despite trying (my metabolism must have shut down). Took a year or two to figure out 15000 calorie cheat days once a week were no longer helping me lol. Stopped those and began losing again. Got down to 201.2 before my metabolism shut off again. Christmas cookies happened and I lost my focus so I took 3 weeks off from dieting, but was consistent in eating healthy.

    So, now I'm at 215 and losing again. This all happened over the past 9 yrs now or so. It's very hard to go straight down. It's hard, period. But, you have to make it a way of life. Otherwise you just end up gaining everything back you lost. I will never go back. 10-20lb setbacks are expected, but forget 50-100lb setbacks. No way.. Too hard.

    I've lost 31 lbs. since mid-January. I broke the 200 lb. mark today. Weighed 199. 1200 calories seldom dip into exercise calories! Minimum of 50 minutes of cardio, some light weights, 6 days a week. Most days easily over 10,000 normal steps.

    74 lbs. Its taken about 2 years but the first year was more wasting time and yo-yoing than this past year. I'd say I got serious about weight loss around a year ago and since then I have lost over 50 lbs.

    Don't compare yourself to others. Be proud of what you have accomplished! Everyone has different amounts to lose in different time frames, and any weight loss is a success.

    Around 61lbs in 14 months, roughly works out at a 1lb a week loss. SW was 196ish (can't be 100% accurate, didn't like getting on scales back then!).

    Just finished 6 weeks of cardio exercises (25 to 50 minutes everyday). I didn't weight myself before starting and don't have a set of scales to weight now. I have gone from size 42 pants to size 38 pants.

    118 lb in a little over 5 years.

    2008-2011 - 35 lb lost by walking about 20X more and eating a bit less fast food/Starbucks but not counting calories or eating all that healthy.

    2011-2013 - 10 lb lost by going pescetarian (I've since returned to eating meat), eating healthier food, but exercising just sometimes (not regularly).

    2013-present - 73 lb lost (haven't updated my ticker yet with the latest 2 lb loss, I wait until it's sustained over a number of days) by counting calories on MFP and making better/smarter food decisions while exercising very regularly (but nothing super ambitious in that realm, just walking, hikes & bike rides 3 or 4 times a week).
