    I am on my journey to ONEderland and haven't seen a loss in about a month. I'm crossing my fingers that I see one tomorrow....

    I will say one thing...I HAVE changed my eating and I weigh everything (or try to) and I also hit the gym 6 days a week. However, I do not deprive myself. I live with my boyfriend who can eat anything and everything so we still get pizza, we still eat pasta, we still go to restaurants, we still have an occasional drink, I am just trying to make healthier choices.

    So the weight is coming off veryyyyy slowly...but I want to make this a realistic weight loss. I seen no point in completely depriving myself of the things I love for the weight to come off, because when I start eating those things again it will come right back, which I DONT want.

    Good luck!

    It took me about 4 months to lose 27 lbs and that's with a plateau of 15 days when I didn't lose anything. I cranked up my calories about 250-300 a day and started losing again. So it was averaging about 1.5 lbs a week.

    It took me 4 1/2 months. I stick to 1200 calories a day and try my best to get on the elliptical and do arm weights daily. Lately I have not been so dedicated but not gaining anything. Good luck. You can do it! If you have a bad day or a bad week, just get back to it and don't think you should give up because you blew it once or twice. Just keep trying!

    It took me 4 months to lose 23 lbs. I still have between 35 and 43 lbs left, hopefully by February '13 lol :D
    I just started using mfp last week eating around 1630 calories and lost 1.5lbs, I weighted half lb less this morning but I only count Friday's weight in.

    Good luck!

    It took me about 3 months to lose 30lbs. I used Atkins to help jump start my weight loss. It was wonderful.

    It took me 5 months, but I only wanted to lose 40 total and I took it the slow-and-steady route of following MFP recommendations and eating back my exercise calories. People who have a lot more weight to lose can lose the same number of pounds more quickly. :-)

    It took me about 6 months or so. Ilost 10 pounds before starting on MFP. As much as I wish it would have come off faster, slow and steady wins the race.

    Took me 3 months to lose 33 lbs. Hit that mile marker last Friday. I just watch my calories, and try not to indulge in "bad" things, drink lots of water, and exercise. You can do this!!!

    If I hit it this week, it will have taken me a week shy of 6 months. This has been a slow and steady process where I've just been learning to eat and live like a thin person. I haven't cut anything out of my diet. I have days where I don't count calories and just eat what I want (tailgating, holidays, date night) but I try and adjust for it elsewhere throughout the week.
