    28 pounds in 79 days (a little less than 3 months). I'm 5'9" and have another 23 to go before I'm in my healthy weight range. Good luck!

    As of this morning, I've lost exactly 40 pounds in 2 years. I took it very slow to make sure I could maintain the small victories. I did most of that weight loss before I was using MFP.

    Some things I learned about myself along the way:
    I will always have to use a food tracker. i'm terrible at eyeballing portions and total daily food intake.
    I have to limit my carbs. Not Atkins-style, but not MFP ratio, either. I try to keep it under 150, which is very generous for low carb.
    I do my best at about 1500 calories a day, including exercise allowance. It's a level I can maintain pretty well.
    I need to exercise at least 30 minutes every day, even if all I do is walk the treadmill while I watch a move. Just do it every day.

    Hope this helps you, OP!

    I started 331 days ago, have lost about 50lbs. My "optimistic" goal was 40lbs, I'd have been happy with 30. I've approached it as a life-style change, not a diet, and am very happy with where I'm at... and really feel like I can maintain this moving forward.

    I have lost 28 pounds since June 2013. Slow and steady. I've made a lifestyle change. So, it's not about a quick fix--mad exercise and diet to reach a goal,.only to gain it all back. I'm using portion control and cleaner eating with moderate exercise about 3 days a week for about 30 to 45 minutes. Working for me. Feeling my healthiest since before I had my 3 daughters, 22 years ago. At 47, that aint bad!!

    120 in 1 1/2 years. Currently trying to figure out how to maintain
    Congrats! That's massive!!! I hear you about the maintenance. Most people who've been at this for a while, know that it's the maintenance that's the hardest part of the journey. I think it's because we, mistakenly, see weight loss in terms of reaching a goal weight. That's the reason I call my desired weight my maintenance weight. It let's my mind understand that I have to work from now on to maintain the weight and healthy lifestyle. God bless your maintenance efforts.
