    It's taken me a year to lose 70lbs. I have 30 more pds to go. I think each person is different. I've done it the quick way before and I ended up gaining it ALL BACK, plus some! I am going day-by-day. :)

    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.

    Amen!

    I've lost 121 lbs in just under 3 years and I agree 100% with the above ... slow, steady and consistent.

    Still working on it. I was out of control, and realize that it didn't get put on overnight, so it will take longer than overnight to lose. 406lbs on January 17, 2011. 315.2 today. 91lbs on my way to 150lbs total. Keep fighting the good fight. If it was easy, everybody would be thin.

    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.


    ^^^^ never a truer word said miss_molly! I put my weight on over a 5 to 7 year period so will be delighted if I can lose it in under a year. Wanting to lose 65lbs - lost the first 26lbs in 8 weeks but am sure it will slow down as I get nearer to goal weight.

    62 lbs gone in 7 1/2 months; 8 lbs. left to go. For the last 10 lbs., I've dropped my weekly loss goal to 0.5 lb., so I'll hopefully be close to my goal weight by New Year's. I chose an eating plan (Primal) that keeps me satisfied and will work for the rest of my life.

    I'm not at my goal weight yet, but it's taken me 6 months to lose 18 lbs. Given I didn't start trying hard to until mi-May, but yeah. I'm still 12 lbs away from my goal.

    Lost about 20 lbs since August (whatever my member since date is on the left). This is really not exercising, although I am planning to slowly add that in. I originally gave myself a year to lose 100 lbs at 2 lbs/week, but I think I might be able to do it a little sooner. I was 180 lbs when I graduated high school (top of my "healthy BMI" is 174 lbs, so it wasn't that bad) and I will be extremely happy to be under 200!

    Reading some of these is kind of heartbreaking for me.

    I guess I'm just slow.

    8 lbs in almost four months, burning an average of 5000 calories a week. 102 lbs to go.

    *sigh*

    My body hates me. My doctor says I'm just unlucky. At this rate, I'll be at my goal in 17 years.

    Wow. Wait. why am I doing this again? :frown:
