    It's taken me just over a year to lose 52 pounds. Still have about 30 to go, and I'm guessing that'll probably take another year.

    I'm at about 19 months and 70 pounds. I strength train and have trouble keeping my thyroid levels adequate (hashi's) so I'm not a very fair comparison. No matter how long it takes, you just have to keep being persistent, consistent, and patient. :)

    I started at 323.2 and am now at 269.6 lbs, so about 53 lbs in 5 months. I am doing a ketogenic diet for my PCOS and insulin resistance and eating about 1,200-1,600 cal a day with a cheat once a week or every other week.

    I took off 85lb. in roughly 14 months. Eating well, running, and working out at the gym 2-3x per week was what did it for me.

    54 pounds and a ton of inches since January 2013. So, about a year and a half. My ultimate loss is 94 lbs, and I am doing this slowly so it will stay off for life. My body bloats and gains easily, so I had to really make a lifestyle change. When I deviate from this change (like I have this past week), I feel the difference more than ever before, and it feels awful.

    I've lost 50 lbs since October! I've done it the completely healthy way by getting AT LEAST 1000-1200 calories daily and working out. I feel so great, and I never have felt deprived. In fact, the elliptical earned by the best chocolate cupcake ever last night.
