    Hard to say, only because your close to your goal. People have said that if you only have around 20 to lose you should aim for .5 a week on here.

    Probably about 8 months for me, and I've only lost 3 so far. (I've been on MFP for 9 months.) It really depends on what you eat and how often you exercise.

    Depends on what your start weight is. If you weigh 235 (which I did when I started my life change) then it should not take 4 months. I lost my first 25lbs in 2 months or less. Everyone is different though. My last 10 lbs is taking forever, lol. I'm hanging in there, b/c there is no rush and shouldn't be if your in this for the long run. :) All this said is meant positive. Best of luck to ya'll.

    As others have said, it depends on a multitude of factors. But going on the basic 1lb/wk that would be a little more than 6 months.

    I have three pounds to go to get to 25 pounds. I lost a few pounds before starting MFP (maybe 5 to 7), but the "last 25" is what I've used MFP for. I started it on February 20th, I think. So about 3 months +. Though it was the whole of my weight loss goal. If your goal is a lot higher and the 25 pounds is not your "last" 25 pounds, it might go even faster.

    I lost 32 lbs in 2009. It was all the weight I had to lose at it took from September - December. I was able to do it even with the holidays, but I did lose every week. It really depends on how disciplined you can be. Track everything, stay within your calories and hit the gym and you should be there in no time. (I am also trying to lose 30 lbs - I had a baby and moved)

    I'm in this same catagory! Around the same weight and would kill to loose 25 lbs in 2 months. What did you do? I guess there are no secrets: eat less, move more.
