I’m estimating about a 10-12 months to lose about 55 lbs. I’ve been working at it for 10 weeks and have lost 19 lbs but I know it’s going to slow the closer I get to my goal.
I used to get discouraged by how long weight loss can take but now my thought is - I can be skinny in a year? That’s crazy! And remind myself that if I give up it’s just going to take even longer!1 -
A couple of years ago it took me about 5-6 months to lose 25 lbs with my rate of loss set to 1 lb a week. I lost pretty steadily.
Had a health problem and gained about 10 lbs back and losing has not been as smooth/linear this time. This month I have lost 1 lb a week though.
You can have a generally idea how long it will take you to get to your goal by your selected rate of loss and if you are actually losing at that rate.0 -
20ish pounds in 8 months but I'm at the low end of my goal, losing slowly. Also crossing back and forth from losing to maintaining pretty frequently.0

Why did this get woo'ed?0 -
I think because it indicates you lost at more than the recommended 2 lbs a week.
But, I can only guess that you lost quite fast at the beginning, and then it evened out, or slowed.
It could also be a woohoo well done you.
Heck I get woos for the strangest posts. I used to wonder what I had done/said wrong, then realized it could be the woohoo, or even a scrolling error.
I scroll left handed and I have probably 'insightful-ed' a number of not too insightful posts.
Don't fret it.
