    Don't know, but I'll get there.

    The body is a funny thing. Weeks when it would do well it doesn't, weeks when it shouldn't it does.

    This is a lifestyle for me so it doesn't matter to me. I'll get there and then I'll stay there.

    Good luck.

    Lost 30 pounds in an year. With that in mind it will be close to 2 years to reach my goal.

    At 1lb a week, I will get to goal by my 45th birthday in January 2013, BUT I am realistic, whilst I am ahead of target now, there are gong to be family holidays and Christmas between now and then, so it may take a bit longer.

    At the rate I'm losing, maybe in a few years (if ever). :devil:

    So far this year, on average, i've lost 1 pound per week. If that rate keeps up I will hit my initial goal the second week of August. With less than 15 pounds to go, it would be nice to speed it up *just* a little, but i'm focusing more on being healthy and in better shape than restricting calories, so i'm fine either way. When I get to my initial goal i'll re-evaluate and see if I need to lose any more or just try to attain better muscle definition.

    It took me 6 months to be at a healthy weight and 2 more months to hit my goal. Ahhhh, that was 4 years ago now. I'm now 5 lbs under the goal weight from back then. :laugh:

    I'm 136 right now, I'd like to be at 130 by June 1st. If not by then, then June 8th. I started at 172# on January 27th.

    I'm aiming for mid-July, which will be my 1 year mark. I have 11lbs. to go, so it's definitely realistic, achievable and oh so close!!

    Took me three years! I reached my goal yesterday.


    Congrats on reaching your goal!!

    For me: I would like to lose 17lbs, at less than .5/wk, so...

    Ideally, by the end of October?:happy:
    Realistically, probably not until next February...:grumble:

    ETA: I don't really care about the scale weight, I just want less than 20% body fat! Hopefully, that can be accomplished through lifting heavy!

    6-7 weeks until my first goal which is the upper limit of healthy BMI which I have not been for 9 years!
    Then I will reset goal to lose another 9 kg - probably end of August if all goes well.
    Then the test of maintenance will follow!
    Anyone have any advise about the latter?

    Right now, I'm doing mini goals of 10 pounds.

    Gosh, I haven't thought of a month, but since you brought it to my attention, I am shooting for May 2013. As for the magic #...84 pounds and then will take it from there.

    Need to lose another 40-50lbs, which I hope I can do this year, but it may be Jan/Feb 2013 if I lose 1lb/week for 40-50 weeks. Seems such a long way off! But at the end of the day it doesn't matter how long it takes, since I'll be doing it for the rest of my life.

    Well, if I lose 1lb a week I will be at my goal in October. BUT it took me 2+ years to lose the 90 I have lost so far, so probably longer:)
