I'm still going, but my first 30 lbs came off in about 3.5 months. I have another 90-ish to go.1

107 lbs in 16 months. The last 15 were brutally slow to go!0

140lb, took me 20 months, kept it off for around the same amount of time.2
-
85 pound in 7 and 1/2 months. 19 the first month and about 10 each additional. About 5 more pounds to goal then doing a slow steady recomp.2

60 pounds in 60 weeks.
My MFP weight loss rate was set at 1 pound/week.2 -

M/44yo/183cm(6'0")
- Started in Jan 2018 at 160kg (352lb)
- Passed the halfway mark 120kg (264.5lb) this Jan.
- Currently 116kg (255lb).
- Expect to pass my next milestone of under 100kg (220lb) towards the end of the year (probably around Sept - Nov)
- Expect to get to my healthy Height/Weight target 83kg (182lb) some time in 2020
- Expect to get to my ultimate/"I like round numbers"/"I halved my body weight" goal of 80kg (176lb) end of 2020/start of 2021.
All future dates aren't firm targets by any means. If it takes me 3x as long as I expect to hit my next 3 milestones then so be it. My only real goal is constant progress no matter how small and not letting my weight management get in the way of enjoying the remaining years I have on this planet.2 -
It took me 15 months to lose 80 pounds. I'm in my 6th year of maintenance.
The weight came off very slow at the beginning as I was figuring out what worked and what didn't work for me and again at the very end when I was at a healthy weight.
In the middle however I lost weight at a very consistent and steady pace.6 -
My case is not typical because I REALLY take my time with a smaller deficit and lots and lots of maintenance periods. I'm down 118 pounds and it has taken me 6 years.2

Have lost 101 lbs since July 2018 with another 80 lbs to go.6

62 pounds. The first 12 took 6 months as I lost and regained the same 10 pounds several times.
I finally stopped and took the time to really figure out what worked for me that was also something that I felt I could maintain forever. After that. I lost the remaining 50 pounds in 6 months. In maintenance now for 2 months. The 50 pounds came off with no real plateaus and fairly consistent rate if loss. I did, however, continually add elements to my exercise routine throughout the 6 months.

100lbs in 11 months.
Have 10lbs to go. Hoping to get the done in the next two months.
I have been averaging 1% of BW per week. So at the start (260lbs) it was 2.6/3lbs and it is now 1.5lbs a week. This is pretty aggressive but not unhealthy. I eat 2000kcal a day.3 -
173-130–43 pounds in 10 months.2

From 194 down to 130, thats 64 pounds in about 9 months3
-
2 lb per week. 250 to 223 so far in 3 months. Expect to drop another 20-30 this year and next year will be the remaining 10-15 give or take.
Thats w a couple plateus at the beginning. A cruise and wedding, etc.
It depends on how much you have to lose, age, hormones, activity, bmi, stress, work environment, macros, water intake, etc.1 -
I'm 5'5", 62 years old and very sedentary. In 2005 I had a lapband installed. I started out at 251 lbs. I lost 15 lbs. then stalled. Had the lapband removed a year later due to complications. I maintained the weight loss. in 2015 I got serious. I joined MFP and the first year lost 70 lbs. The rest took me a year to lose. My lowest weight was 143. I finally settled at a range of 145 - 150. So it took me 2 years to reach goal basically.3

So I’ve lost 23 pounds in about 8 months but I also took 3 weeks off of tracking in October & December which definitely slowed my progress.
I still have another 20-30 pounds to lose which I’m thinking will take me another 8 months to a year..
Personally I choose to lose weight slowly because I wanted to enjoy life and not deprive myself too much, I also wasn’t working out for the first 7 months of my journey where now I am working out 4-5 days a week.
For me it’s better to go slowly and be able to maintain my loss.5
