I'm not there yet, but I've lost 10lbs in a month.
15 more pounds to go!
I've found that if you truly follow the calorie guidelines, you lose the amount they say.
For example, if I stick to my calorie target, I should lose 2 lbs per week, and that's what I've done, more or less.0 -
100 pounds in about 10 1/2 months.
More important than the weight, however, is the fact that I changed my lifestyle so that I could be proud of the steps I was making to improve my health even when I was still a long way from my goal.0 -
I am .9 away from goal. It took me 6 months. I lost 72 lbs. I think I am going to lose another 5 lbs though. In that time I never had a gain and only one week did I lose less than 1 lb.0

9 months - I'm about 1 pound away. I've lost 58 pounds since I started right after Christmas 2010. Reduced my calories and exercised. Didn't really stop eating anything I ate before - just moderated the amount. Exercise - even short walks really made the difference. I feel and look much better.0

Lol, im not there yet! ive got another like 54lbs to loose before i reach my goal weight of 10stone! (140lbs).. I will get there hahaa! Seems like ages away yet! :yawn:
I started my weight loss journey in January 2011, as i was super overweight (16stone 6, 230lbs) I was bursting out of a size UK 18 in trousers/jeans and tops. So i knew i HAD to do something before i became mega obese and im only young aswell (19). And i lost alot of confidence couple years ago due to rough relationships, bullying all through high school etc etc - so the weight piled on! In a period of 9 months (since i started dieting) i have lost 36lbs! Its not an incredible amount, ive seen people on here who have lost way more than me in 9 months! But i was on a plateau for 3 months, and i still have my 'treat' days, soo that doesnt really help either! But im slowly getting back on track now, and hopeing to say a fat goodbye to this 54lbs that ive got to loose before i reach my goal weight :bigsmile:0 -
I have given myself a year to lose 70 lbs.0
-
I'm halfway to my goal and I'm 8 months in. I've lost 64 so far0
-
It took me about 8months to lose 80lbs, that was about 6yrs ago. Then slowly every year I would lose more weight. ( discovered MFP a few years ago and lost 20lbs here) So far I've lost 112lbs total.
im 20lbs away from my goal weight and its the hardest 20lbs ive ever had to lose. :sick:
Good luck on your journey :flowerforyou:0 -
So far it has taken me 7 months to lose 52 pounds. I believe I could/should have lost more at this point but I slipped a few times. Hopefully losing slow and steady will help me keep it off though.0

since january 2011 I've lost 68 lbs, am 0.8 from my goal weight0
-
About 6 months and I lost 40 lbs.0
-
Almost 40 pounds in 5 months. I still have another 20 to lose and have given myself until December to lose it (which would make it 8 months total). I walk and run 3 days a week and I cheat on the weekends...like REALLY cheat. I'm sure I could have lost the weight faster, but I feel like, if I'm going to keep this up for the rest of my life, I might as well be realistic...and I'm happy with my progress.
can't wait to be 135 pounds!0 -
I took the slow and steady route - Reached goal weight today! Started at 198 in Feb of '09.0
-
Started at 299lb. I've lost 161lb in total (41 on mfp)
took me about 2 and a half years and i still have another 30 lb to go to reach my 108lb goal. I expect to be done by summer 2012.
Remember, you didnt gain it all over night so its not going to come off over night eaither.0 -
I'll tell you sometime next year, or maybe the year after!0
