Hi MarliQQ, It took me 7 months to get to goal on the Ideal Protein diet-restricted carbs, calories, fat.

18 months. Goal was defined as the weight when loss stopped for the way I was eating. 81 pounds down.

It took me 17 months.

It's in my signature, but it took me 15 months.

Just about three years. The first 100 took two years. I am working off a bit of a regain now.

The last time I had a significant loss, it took me ca. 4 months for 22 pounds (a little more than 1 pound per week) with calorie counting.

1 year for 100 lbs. Now I'm on "phase 2" which is significantly slower.

I lost 60 lbs. the first year, then the rest over 3 years. Maintained since 2006.

It took me about a year to lose 50 pounds. I lost another 10 in maintenance then regained some. I lost my weight initially with weight watchers and exercise. I'm now calorie counting plus exercise to tackle my regain.

I am so impressed with everyone who has lost over 50lbs! That is amazing. I just started my journey to lose 35lbs (after other unsuccessful attempts) and it seems overwhelming. I hope having support and counting calories will help. Any advice? Thanks!!

Have you calorie counted before? I'm using the app and website loseit and loving it! I've lost over 6 pounds in a little over 3 weeks. My advice is not to give up! Even if your results are slow... It stuck with me to hear that if you "only" lose one pound a week, you can lose 50 pounds in a year! And you don't even have that much to lose.

I took me about 6 months to lose 45-50 lbs.

Around a year and a half to get to my goal and it's been slow moving after that. I go through fluctuations of being very healthy to not-so-healthy but always manage to keep under 140 lbs.
