    Also 4 months, just reached it this morning!

    Another 20 lbs to lose, I'm hoping to keep the momentum going as long as I can, but now I am prepared to see the weight loss slow down eventually.

    5 months. Slow and steady. Also my BMI was in the normal range when I started and when I finished, so it has been the "stubborn" last 20.

    I am 54 yrs old and it took me 5 months to lose 22 pounds. It was a lifestyle change and not a diet. I am healthier and fitter than ever. Good luck and be smart about losing weight.

    I was obese, so when I first started MFP those 20 lbs came off in a month. Those were the easy lbs.

    Took me about 4.5 months with a more relaxed diet on the weekends and stricter behavior during the week.

    About 45 days for me. It's slowing down now.

    My first from 221 to 201 took me 1.5 months. I was Obese Class II.
    My second from 201-181 took me 3.5 months.
    I'm expecting the next 20 to take closer to 4 months now that I'm close to the halfway out of Overweight class and gain more muscle mass.
    No loose skin yet.

    Took me about 7 months and I have a lot to lose. I have being hungry though, aim for .5 pounds a week average and I take breaks to eat at maintenance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Not in a hurry.

    Too me 40 days to lose first 22 pounds. It usually depends on how heavy you are when you start and how much caloric deficit you have.
