I started the week after you and I'm down 7 pounds. 205 to 1982 -
It took me a bit more than 20 weeks. Started Jan 3rd, done in may. Slow and steady.4

My mfp start weight January 25, 2016 was 272. During the early months of 2016 I was losing 10 - 12 lb per month, so it took a couple of months for me. Those with the most to lose, lose the fastest the easiest.1

Around 4 months for me. I started 1st December 2016 at 255lb (took a break from logging over Christmas as I was travelling a lot) and hit 234.7lb on my official weekly weigh in on 24th March 2017. I suspect it might have been a little earlier if Paddy's Day had not occurred the week before lol.

3 months. I'm really starting to push my limits physically and eat better now, so more has happened In the past month as opposed to the other two.2

I've lost 59 pounds and the first 20 took a very short time - maybe 5 weeks? But I didn't weigh myself regularly so I don't know exactly. I just know that 6.5 weeks after my initial weigh in, I was down about 30 pounds. The remainder have taken 6 months.0

I started keto in March and am currently down 25lbs and 6.5" from my waist. I've got another 16lbs to go to my GW.0

2 months. The bigger you are the faster you lose. Also age slows it down. Also if you are active.0

First 20 lbs using MFP/calorie counting? Still working on it 18 months later. But I've had a couple falls off the logging truck since Dec 2015, all captured on my profile for posterity/the reminder this time around.
Taking a slightly more militant approach this time around. If including macros and not letting foul ups slide (instead, being accountable to make up the overages) doesn't work, I'm not sure what I will do next to be completely honest.1 -
I topped out at 335lbs at one point, so when I decided to get back on the wagon for the five millionth time, honestly, I probably dropped 20lbs in the first 3 weeks.
When I was trying to get under 200 my pace was around 2lbs a week.1 -
I have lost 15 pounds in 37 days and I am beyond thrilled. I am still guessing a lot so need to purchase a scale.0
