How long did take you to lose 30 pounds

It took me just under 4 months

About 110 days...working out 5 to 6 days a week at a gym for an hour each visist.

It took me just about four months

3 months....

I have almost been on here for four months and I have lost 29 so far. But I have had several bad weeks. But i kept getting back on the wagon and I have lost an average of 7.25lbs a month which isn't bad at all. Hope this helps you.

it took about 5 1/2 months for me to lose 30 lbs. i joined a gym, and started eating healthy. cut-out soda and sweet tea. exercise is key for me!

about 5 months - the first month i was just running for a half an hour three times a week and eating less. the second month i decreased to 1200 to 1500 calories a day with more fruit and veggies and began incorporating strength training. the third and fourth months i added circuit training (so i was alternating cardio, strength, & circuit training 6 days a week). and the fifth month i added biking 12 miles to and from work (which is now my primary cardio), at which point i had to up my calories here and there cause working out 10 hours a week makes me hungry.

Just under four months...right through Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve and my birthday. Unfortunately, I ATE AND ATE through the holidays, but I count it cuz I didn't gain any weight!!! (well, not really true. In one day I gained 8 1/2 pounds, but over all I didn't have a "still here" gain through the holidays). But the inches I have lost since the end of January have been mouth dropping--at least to me. I have lost over six inches in my stomach in the past 3 months. So even though the scale isn't saying what I want, the tape measure is.

I lost 12 lbs the first month and a half, 15 lbs more the next month and finally 12 lbs the next; so basically lost 30 lbs within three to four months without exercise, special foods or diet aids of any sort, just portion control.

Good luck....

Still working on it! I started my weight loss the last week of July 2011. So far I have lost 23 pounds. I'm taking it very very slowly...obviously. My ultimate goal is to lose 40 pounds within a year. I have 3 months left to lose 17 pounds... some days that seems far more obtainable than others. I WILL do it though. I am so much healthier and happier than I was 23 pounds ago though. I can actually go for a jog without wanting to die, I choose healthier foods than I used to, and my body looks so much better than it did before I decided to change my life. Sorry that the response is a bit out of the norm, but it's the way that it is for ME :flowerforyou:

Hi I am an Aussie so I think in kilos, but it took me three months to lose 30 pounds - and it wasn't difficult. Just walking a bit more, playing on the Wii, cut out sugar and milk in my coffee, and started putting in my food I planned - then juggled things around took things out if they were too much; made sure I ate pretty much to my goal each day.

I too was heading for ONEderland and it was a great feeling when I got there; my next goal was to get out of obese BMI - done; now heading toward my main goal of 70 kgs (currently 81.8 - 180 lb - down from 98 kgs - 216lb). Log in every day; drink your 8 glasses of water; log everything and be true to yourself. Good luck, you will get there I wish I had know about MFP years ago.

I've started the process last November right before Thanksgiving. I made appointments with a therapist, nutritionist and started going to zumba classes 2 to 3 times a week. I was actually considering gastric bypass surgery or the lapband and wanted to see if I could do it on my own first. I started losing weight consistently but only a little at a time. Then I joined a fitness challenge sponsered by our local hospital with a friend the end of January. The last day was April 28th. Since begining the challenge I've added weight training and have participated in about 5 5k runs. I walked but am now jogging a little. I'm eating way better, haven't given anything up just eat a lot less of the bad stuff and in more moderation. Breakfast was the hardest thing for me to start eating, but once I did, the weight has just kept dropping. Good luck and just don't quit. It's worth the future shopping trips. I now don't hate trying clothes on and I still have about 50 more pounds I'd like to see gone.

21 weeks - officially hit 30lbs down today.

It took me about 3 months. I worked out 5 days a week. And watched my calories. As of August 2011 I have lost 51 lbs.

Remember the slower you take the weight off, the better chance you will keep it off.

I started at 265.8 and it took me just under 3 months to lose the first 30lb. 3 months later I'm 5lb away from losing the next 30
