    The less you have to lose, the longer it takes. It has taken me two months to take off 10 pounds...

    30 lbs - about 30 weeks...:drinker:
    It's not a race.
    The slower - the better.
    Losing fat is actually very simple but just hard work.
    This is how MFP works

    Just get started by going into settings to Update diet/fitness profile.
    Set your goals for 1 lb weight loss per week.
    NO MORE!
    And eat lean meats, low fat dairy, nuts, whole grains, fresh fruits and veggies.
    Do both cardio and resistance exercise.
    Log in those exercises to your MFP exercise diary.
    AND EAT BACK YOUR EXERCISE CALORIES!
    Remember, this is not a race, and you can reach your goals if you stick to a good plan as recommended on this site.

    You have many people here ready to lend support, answer qustions and discuss any challenges.
    You can do this.

    About 7 weeks and other than the first 3 days I was eating atleast 1500 hundred calories and I'm 5 10 and was 255 it was still faster than what is safe. I'm not why it happened so fast other than maybe I was really over eating and under exercising prior.

    I am about the same as you right now..
    I have about 80-90lbs total to lose but for right now just want to get to 199 as well. I have been yo-yoing since Jan. this year to lose the amount that I am at now.. but with REALLY focusing and trying since May. Since May 21st i have lost about 20lbs. I am being more serious about exercise and eating better now so I can really get this weight off.

    When I first started, I lost 12lbs the first month and 20lbs the second month (don't know how that happened). I was really shocked when I weighed in, so 2 months for me.

    10 Weeks on the nose.
    I used the goal setter on this site to set up my daily calories, logged everything that went in my mouth and worked up to 5 hours a week in the gym.

    60 or so to go
