Please give a shout out if you have in the past 6 months (December 2011 - May/June 2012) lost 30lbs or more! This would be great for peeps who have joined and can see the amount of people who have lost weight in a reasonable amount of time. (basically 1-2lbs a week).

    I lost 30 lbs in about 6 mths. I started my weight loss journey in January. And I have lost about 33lbs or so. I am now in the healthy weight/bmi range (on higher end). I still have some work to do, but I am very happy with my results so far. If I can do it, anyone can do it. I have found that the hardest part is "talking myself into it." Once I reach my goal, I will focus on maintaining. Guess Ill have to learn how to do that too. Good luck everyone.

    I think your thread title may be a bit deceiving if you're looking for people that have lost 30+ lbs in 6 months - so people can see how many people have lost weight at a reasonable rate. I have lost 64 since the day after thanksgiving of 2011-but I'm not at or really anywhere near my goal (haven't really firmly decided on a goal yet). But assuming people who have lost 30lbs are at or close to goal excludes a lot of people on much longer journeys (many of whom are losing significant amounts of weight at a very healthy rate).

    I started mid Jan and as of today, I have lost 33 pounds so far and that takes me 1.2 pounds within my goal of 130! I think I may go for 125 and then stop. My husband has already asked that I not lose anymore! :) Good luck to those working towards their goal and great job to those who have made it! :)

    I lost 45 pounds in about 6 months. Hasn't been all on MFP but it's been watching what I eat and working out. Exactly what MFP helps with :)

    I lost 3.5% body fat! Went from 18.5% in oct, last year (too many party drinks!) to 15% May,

    no problem. Eating as much fat as I want, getting at least 15% protein in, and concentrating on fat burning BPM w/ my heart rate monitor.

    I gained weight, 112 to 119. I lost inches from that layer of body fat. Weight means nothing.

    Well, I've only been living my new healthy lifestyle since May 7th, but I was very excited to see this morning that I've lost 15,8 pounds so far. It's hard work, but SO rewarding! I can't imagine going back to eating unhealthy foods again. I feel better and already feel like I'm looking better...even though I have a ways to go yet. :)

    For those who are new and looking for inspiration, keep checking on MFP. I've been very motivated and inspired just reading people's stories on MFP. It's a great community. :) Don't give up!!!

    Congrats to those who've done so well so far. Thanks for telling your stories here. It really helps the rest of us just beginning our journey. :)
