Anyone w/sw of 250+ lbs how long for results?

Hi, I started my journey at 242lbs I know this isn't in your number but I thought I would pipe up anyway.
I started my journey after a new years eve party a few years ago after I heard a female friend say to another friend can you believe the size of him now. I started slowly and kept with it. I faltered a few times on this journey because I just couldn't see the results and kept saying why am I doing this?? I love food which was what got me to where I was. Then one day I changed my attitude not to exercise or my diet to how I handled 'falling off the wagon'. I decided that if I 'fell off the wagon' because I ate something 'bad' then rather the attitude of I've been bad so I might as well be really bad and right I'll start again on Monday (next week) or next month. I started with no you have had your treat now get back on it, don't waste all the hard work I have done to this point. This was pretty life changing moment for me. Don't get me wrong some of the falls were big where I just felt completely ill from the rubbish I ate but rather than beat myself up I just said to myself it's done it starts again right now. Once I had that thought process I and friends started to notice the difference first it was a bit then more, then more. I just kept going the further I went the better I felt the more compliments I got the more it pushed me. I still live by this now. I think I dropped as low as 180lbs but I had started weight training too once I was comfortable that has continued I now weigh almost 200lbs with 14% bodyfat and I'm still pushing myself. I no longer have acute asthma, I feel I could run a marathon if I trained a little for it. I'm the fittest and healthiest I have ever been and I'm over 40. With a girlfriend 15 years younger.
What I'm trying to say is keep going, if you fall so what just get back up and keep going don't lie down and think ok I'm down here now I will stop for a while and start again next week. Get up and go again girl!!! Never stop trying, weigh yourself once a week if you must but there is a huge difference between losing fat and weight.
You can do it! Just be constituently better than constituently bad. The cold hard truth I learnt to accept is that I had got to the size I was in a month so I couldn't expect to be the size I wanted in a month. It takes time the slower you do it the better as the skin has time to become elastic again. Don't do fad diets just train yourself to have a healthier life style!
You can do it! I believe you can all you have to do is believe too....

Hi. My name is Sweets and I am 53 years old and have a neuromuscular disease that has, at times, kept me in a chair. My highest weight was 399# in 2012. I have lost just over 200#, mostly over the past 2.5 years. My goal weight is 175#. I've got ~20# to go.

I started noticing changes in my face, which continued for the first ~35#. The changes in my body really kicked in around 40#. While everyone's body is different, it seemed to me that my body had to warm up to loosing weight. Once it did - the changes started being really noticeable. At one point, when passing a mirror, my reflection actually caused me to jump/startle. The longer I stayed with the program, the faster I lost.

I started at a Women's Plus Size 38. Now I wear a 16/18. My co-morbidities are gone. In their place are LOW blood pressure and blood sugar. I've been on 800-1000 calories (low fat/no fried food/low starch/no stupid/no sweets/high protein) for the duration. Yesterday I was told to go to 1000-1200, with the same rules. I don't recommend a diet this low in calories for everyone. I simply can't exercise like the majority of you.

This is a lifestyle. It took 25 years to get fat and I knew not to expect it to disappear quickly. Therapy can't be suggested enough, especially if you have a large amount of weight to loose.

I wish you luck on your journey.
