What's your starting weight & how quickly did u see results?

For me...the first 13 pounds dropped off without any modification in diet or without exercise..that's cause the doctor figured out I have PCOS and hypothyroid..so with meds..it helped me jump start the weight loss..

After that..I diligently watched what I ate..and exercised..I didn't do anything crazy like workout 5 hrs a day..usually between 3-4 hrs a week.

The main difference was what I was eating...It got a lot easier once I started hearing compliments..that gave me the motivation to keep at it. After a while..the choices in food got easier. It took me from April 2011 till Thanksgiving 2011 to lose 40 pounds.

I have gained a few pounds back..but I am also lifting heavy weights. I have been a bit more slack on my eating choices..so have decided to eat clean for 1 month to get me back into eating right. I am one of those do something 100% no easing in to it.

It took me a year to go from a size 14 to a size 6

I started January 1st...weight 163 lbs. Started eating vegetarian, then regularly exercising in May. Current weight 140 lbs. I am 5'6". It has been slow but steady. My goal weight is 130lbs. but thinking I really don't want to lose much more...boobies are disappearing :frown:

Started beginning of April at 200 (probably more) and I'm down 27lbs!

I lost 20lbs in just under 3 months by just changing my diet. I cut my portion sizes, quit the late night snacking and started drinking more water and little or no juice. I have recently put about 5lbs back on so I am getting serious about exercising now and have dropped 3 lbs in two weeks.

I started at 260 on March 22nd and I am down to 236. I lost the first twenty pounds in a little over two months but in addition to counting my calories with MFP I have been exercising religiously as well.

My starting weight was around 175lbs, I got down to 123, I lost it all within 9 months of pure dedication and strict strict eating. Since September I have maintained my weight, of-course fluctuating 2-3lbs but always around 125ish mark. I am now eating pretty freely, not as strict with calories, I eat whatever I want but always in moderation. FOr 9months I didn't eat cakes, cookies, fast food, nothing high in calories. Now I give in to everything every now and then, but it doesn't do me no harm

p.s. don't mind my ticker, I reset my goals since I am pregnant now and trying to stay under 40lb gain )

I started at 240 and have consistently dropped 2 pounds a week on average. It was a nice progress for me every week things would look better. Right now Im maintaining at 188 because I had my final fitting on my wedding dress. In two weeks I plan on going right back to losing two a week

I started at 230 and lost four pounds just by adding exercise. Then at 226 I joined MFP to start watching my diet as well... I'm at 207 now and I notice a huge difference. My clothes fit soooo differently and from exercising at least once a week I have strengths I have never had before! It's been about four months with a 23lb loss, and I'm happy with the rate it's going. I used to get really impatient every time I dieted and that made me fail, but this time I'm taking my time and it's going really well.

i weighed 211 in Jan 2012. March 1st i started watching my calories on my own, and bought and elliptical. i lost 20 pounds in the first 2 months. I was only eating 1200, and not eating back workout calories. i found MFP and started eating back calories, so i'm now losing about 1.5 pounds a week now, but i feel much better.

i didn't see a big change with the first 20 pounds. but with the next 10 pounds i have seen a HUGE difference in the way everything fits. i have also upped my workout times, and levels, so im sure that accounts for the better fit (or lack there of) and also my slightly slower, more helathy weight loss.

i'm at 180 right now. i'd love to get down to 150. i have no urge to be super tiny. just want everything to fit better, and most important, to be healthy!

My starting weight was 161, I started 7-11-11....I lost 9lbs in a month.

My starting weight on Jan 6, 2011 was 155.1 pounds and at 5 foot that is considered 'obese' and had health issues (i add that for perspective purposes since many see 155 and think it's a low weight). I set mini-goals to lose 5 pounds for each goal. The first week i lost 4 pounds and after that on average a pound per week, some weeks none but after 2-3 weeks of continuing to count calories and workout for 30 minutes-ish 4-5 days a week it would catch up and work out to about a pound each week. I found every 8 pounds was a size of clothing. i went from a size over a 12 (didn't fit in it so not sure what i should have bought prob a 14) to a size 2/4 (sometimes a 0) and have been 112 pounds since September 21, 2011. I felt a difference mentally within 4 days.. that was the magic number of days that had me hooked on exercise where i couldn't wait to get home and do the workout that during the previous 3 days seemed like pointless torture.
My advice is to celebrate each small loss and non-scale victories like the day a jacket fits that didn't button before or other things like the first day you replace french fries with a salad (that's something I will probably talk about in the nursing home as that was my first food victory lol). I rewarded myself every 5 pounds with a massage and was happy with each pound lost because a pound a week is so doable and rewarding, I wasn't in it for a quick loss that would come back just as quick as it was lost. Now that I'm on maintenance it's still work to make sure that my lifestyle change is a forever thing, however each day it gets a lot easier since it was a lifestyle change NOT a diet
