    3 months - 25 lbs.

    However, it has slowed down now.. over the next 3 months, I will probably only lose half that much. But that's okay, I'm onyl 12 lbs away from my first "goal" weight. and then another 12 to my big goal!

    I lose at a very slow pace but I don't let it discourage me. I've lost 12 lbs. in 4 months. As long as the numbers keep going down I'm happy. It's not important how fast you lose. The important thing is being at a healthy BMI and Maintaining it. It's a lifelong journey! :)

    In 18 months I lost 72 lbs, so 1lbs a week. There were weeks that were more and weeks that were less.

    I was maintaining for a bit but I'm back to lose/tone that last 20lbs which take FOREVER.

    29 lbs in one year and a half. Long time, I know but I didn't regain them, so I'm satisfied :)

    I'm with you on the slow burn... 32 lbs in 16 months.

    Figuring 2 things :
    ---The less drastic the change the easier it will be to stick with it.
    ---The slower I lose the more likely I am to keep it off.

    Been trying to maintain since Dec... I'm finding that tougher than losing :huh:

    Just wondering how many calories you we allowed to have and why foods you are eating. This is great. :smile:

    Great topic by the way!!! It's really encouraging to see how other people are doing!!!

    One seed of wisdom for everyone here though - DON'T get caught up in how fast other people are losing weight!! I have learned that comparing myself, my progress, or my circumstances with others, just leads to frustration and/or depression. DON'T DO IT!!!! We are all unique individuals. Some honestly just have it easier than others. I know it's not fair. HOWEVER, every single one of us have the power, the drive, the motivation within us to DO THIS with VICTORY!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Don't ever give up! If you have a bad day, or a bad week, get up, dust yourself off, and go at it again!!!

    Let's make today count!!!!

    That's great!! Any pointers for the rest of us? Anything that we can do as well? I am going on a cruise in 6 weeks and have gained weight back that I lost last year, so I really have 14 lbs to lose to get to that weight, but just want to lose what I can before then. 12 lbs would make me ecstatic!
