    thanks all.
    Terra, I started in April/May of 2011 so it took about 2 years and 4 months to get to 151. Then, it took another 4-5 months to get to 135.

    It depends on the person, but I've seen posters who have lost it faster, and some who have lost slower. The first 6 months, I wasn't really eating as clean as I could have, and I didn't lose much. It gets much harder when you are closer to goal. I was losing as much as 10 pounds when I was the 230+ pounds, while under 200 I struggled. Trust me, it goes by fast and you'll hit milestones along the way that will motivate you to keep going. For me, getting to 200 was a big deal, as was 150. While you could possibly reach your goal by next year, I wouldn't start with such a timeframe. Starting off with smaller goals helped me keep going. good luck!
