Sorry if there's already a thread for this...but I was wondering how long has it taken you to lose what you've lost so far? I know everyone is different, just want to see if my goals are do-able. TIA.
My 3.2 loss is one week Recently re-started... So I don't expect the 3+ loss to continue much longer. In the past I lost 25 in about 3 months. Everybody's different (as you said) and speed of weight loss really varies based on age, starting weight, diet plan.....
I agree--- it depends on a lot of things, age, starting weight, amount of activity...
The last time I lost a good amount of weight I lost 35 pounds over the summer (about 3 months). That was with exercising 5 out of 7 days a week and cutting out a lot of fat and eating better.
Start Date was Sept. 23rd, 2007. Since then I have lost 43lbs and still moving. Can't wait to be done! I eat healthy on a plan that I have chosen that works for me, exercise 5 nights/week X 2 hours/night.
OH - I know my profile shows I signed up in Sept 2003...but I only posted once and just refound the board this past year.

uhm. this may not be terribly motivating for you but... 4 years. but my results aren't typical, lol. if I had stuck to plan I would have probably met my goal a year ago or more.
i kind of fell off track for about 2 years.. i MAINTAINED but wasn't really working toward losing MORE. now that i've been back on track i've lost about 20lbs since late oct/early november. I expect to hit goal this year. I've finally found a plan that really works well for me and is, in comparison to everything else i've done, fairly simple.
I've lost 130 pounds (wow it still amazes me with that number). I started losing weight in May 2006, but I've really slowed down in the last 4 months (maybe only 15 pounds).
I started summer of 2006 so that's... a year and a half. But for the most part when I'm at school I just work on maintaining because I don't have the time to work out (although last semester I took a weight training class), so actively losing it's been maybe 9 months or so.
It took me 6 months to lose around 8 lbs. But you see, I'm a smalle person and it's easier if you're larger/taller to lose weight. The more weight to lose, the easier it is (I'm not saying that its easy to lose weight, but I know a 300 lb person would lose 10 lbs eating the same diet I would and doing the same exercise in 6 months)
Well, I've lost about 60 lbs. but not all at once. I lost 35 lbs. in about 5 months, then stopped for a while and maintained, then lost another 25 lbs. in 6 months. Now I've been maintaining (or stuck, whichever you prefer to call it, haha!) for 3 months so it's time to gear up again!
how long...?
