I started out at 240lbs (after a 2year bulk) down to 180lbs. Took about 11 months total. Took my time cutting down from 3500cal around 1800cal (shortly followed by a reverse diet). My big thing is tracking macros to ensure the weight lost is mostly fat. Cardio got up to 60mins 4 days a week for LISS (incline walk on treadmill). and 10mins of HIIT 3 days a week (concept row mostly, 250m sprint with 30sec rest for 10mins).

I've gone from HW 307 to CW 170-175 range. I'm a 5'8" 43 yr old female.
My lowest weight was 164. For various reasons, I find it relatively easy to maintain in the 170s but difficult to get to 160s. All my health markers are good and I'm satisfied with my energy, clothes fit, etc, so I'm fine with it.

I was over 250 lb for about 20 years prior to losing.
It took me about 5 years to lose 130 lb but of course it accelerated drastically when I joined MFP in 2013, and I lost about 90 lb in one year. I mostly just used the calorie count MFP calculated for me, as I continue to do so (loosely)...

I've maintained in the current range since late 2014. 6 years and counting.
I don't have a lot of good before/after sets, this one shows about 270 to 170s though...pic is a couple years old.

I'm still losing. Ive lost 90 lbs in a little over 4.5 months. My calories are often thru the week are 2 days high 3 days low and 2 days right where my calories should be. I go for longer walks about 4x a week and do some resistance band workouts. I definitely cut out a lot of the carbs and upped my protein and lowered my sugar intake. Im 292 lbs now. I still have 67lbs to go to reach goal of 225lbs. Hopefully I can do it in the next 7 months. Its hard especially when I work in a pizza buffet.

Lost a total of about 40lbs and have maintained the loss for going on 4yrs now. My cal count varies by what I am doing. Usually its between 1000 and 1600 on a 40/30/30 macro. It took me about 8 months to lose the weight. Then I wasn't happy with how the weight loss looked so I joined a gym and started lifting 3-5 days a week. I currently maintain my weight between 110 and 120 lbs, again depending on what I am doing. At my leanest I have been 108 and 8% body fat.

I'm 47 and 5'1.
