80-100 pound loss

I lost 57# in 7 months.....(right around 2# per wk)

It depends on what your goal is. I lost the first 15 lbs between Sept-Dec 2009. Then I kicked my butt into gear, found MFP and lost the next 45 lbs between Feb-Oct 2010. Then I slowed down and lost 5 more pounds by the end of the year. Then I hit a wall at 10 lbs from my initial goal weight of 140. It took nearly 6 months to get the weight coming off again and I've lost 3 lbs in the last 2 weeks. So... it really varies for everyone! Overall, it's been 68 lbs in 22 months.

I started using My Fitness Pal on April 17th, 2010. I weighed around 280 lbs. In January of 2011, I weighed 200 lbs. That was my original weight goal, when I started -- 200 lbs.

So in 9 months I lost 80 lbs.

Weighting 200 lbs, I went and saw a doctor. (I wanted to make sure I hadn't damaged myself in any way. I was fine.) The doctor was very pleased, but told me I could go as low as 180 lbs if I wanted to.

I wanted to. So, at a much slower pace, I have continued to lose weight. Instead of losing two pounds a week, I set my goal to maintain weight, but try to keep under by 250 calories or so.

From January until today (another 6 months) I have lost an additional 14 pounds.

My grand total weight loss, then, is 94 pounds lost in 15 months.

Slow and steady wins the race. For most of my weight loss, I was trying for 2 lbs a week. Later, having gotten much further than I had ever expected, I cut myself some slack and lost much more slowly, but just as steadily.

Hope this helps!

i lost 73 lbs in 11 months

well i'm not there yet but i'll reply anyway :P

my goal is to lose 60 lbs in a year, and then lose the next 20 over about 6-8 more months. i believe that the closer i get to my goal weight, the harder it will be to lose weight. weight loss will be slower anyway. for now, i've been losing 5 lb per month

good luck to you!

It took me 10 months to lose 100 pounds

100 lbs the first 11 months,and 42 the final 6, but Ive got 17 more lbs to lose, so all in all, about 20 months for the 142 total,

It took me about a year and a half to get off 80 pounds. I reached my highest weight (327) in June of 2008. I reached the 240s somewhere around October 2009. Didnt lose that weight on MFP but was basically doing the same thing MFP has you do.

I started my journey needing to lose 85lbs. I'm down 38lbs and have 47lb s to go. I started on March 1st. So it's been about 12 weeks so far. At this rate, I'm going to be where I need to be by the end of summer.

Hi, Wow I am so inspired by your weight loss. Please do tell me how you did it!

90 pounds in 9 months - it is coming off a lot more slowly now, though.

I've shed 83lbs in like a tiny bit over a year, 22 more to go!

I lost 81-85 lbs in a years time.. it keeps moving back and forth those pounds.. dang it!
