For those around my height and weight. How long did it take to lose the first 20-30lbs. My first goal is to get down to my pre pregnancy weight which is 155lbs.

    I was around 182 and it took me about a year to lose 24lbs. I was breastfeeding and didn't want to lose too fast. Now that my son has weaned I've started losing again and instead of a .5 lb/week average I lose 2lbs/week.

    Same height, I started at 184, and have lost about 19 lbs in about 60 days ( I started tracking on here about 2 weeks in to just making better/smaller food choices and have been on this site about 40 days now).

    Yeah, I am starting a similar journey. 5'4 190lbs...just signed up for a 6 month Dietbet starting tomorrow. Goal is for losing 10% in those 6 months, which puts me at 171lb by Dec 1st. My ultimate goal is to be 140lb by the time I am 45 which is in 2 years.

    Hello!

    I'm somewhere in between 5'2 and 5'3. I used to weigh 160lbs, and it took about 6 months to lose about 25lbs. A year on I fought to lose a bit more, I'm now 122lbs and the happiest I've felt in years! Feel free to message me, I'm happy to help :blush:

    It's been nine months and I've lost almost thirty pounds 5"2. Currently 144 pounds. Took me ages to realise I can run on the spot while baby is playing...been much more active in the last two months. No gym, just walking and recently jogging.

    I'm 5'4" and started at 180 in July 2014. I lost about 5 pounds per month pretty consistently for the first several months (maybe a bit more the first month). After 6-7 months it slowed down a bit- I hit a few plateaus and finally had lost 45 within a year. After that it took me 5-6 months to lose the last 10 pounds (with Christmas and a month of family birthdays in there)- and made my goal of 125 by end of March 2016. Now working on maintaining.

    It just goes to show one size does not fit all! I am 5 '3 and started at 186, I am 177. So 9 lbs in 8 months. But im consistent in maintaining too. It has been a little bit harder as I have Lupus and Hashimotos (autoimmune hypo thyroid) and I recently came off Prednisone for the lupus. SO a little puffy still. I am DAMN proud of those 9 lbs! LOL I am 37 and have 5 kids, I dont need to do a rapid 30 lb loss in a month, I am def slow and steady and thats ok! I have to be. I will be on top of the world, losing, then I have a lupus flare and am down and out for a minute, its harder to track food and move. Or I feel great and then my Thyroid levels go out of whack and takes a minute to readjust medication. But I have realized I can up my game a bit. Extra weight causes inflammation in the body, so thats not good for the lupus! So time to really get my butt in gear :)

    How's it going so far everyone? I am down 3lbs some starting on Monday. I am determined that for 6 months I am really committed to this (I joined a 6 month Dietbet...so if I lose 3% each month I get my money back each month. Hoping to be treating myself to something nice Dec 1st!)
