How much weight have you lost (and timeframe too!)

Just wondering how much you have lost and how long it took. For curiosity sake, could you say if you are M/F and how tall you are too? I am having a low-motivation day and i think it will inspire me to see what others have achieved. Thanks so much!

HOW DID YOU LOSE THE WEIGHT?

Tuesday, March 06, 2007, 11:55 AM

5'8'', female. Just over 3 months. Only last 22 pounds, mostly since I joined PT, but am really reshaping my body, so not too unhappy with the slow loss. I am now in size 14 jeans again, and I noticed when I went dancing last night that I did not get tired during any of the dances, even the vigorous ones.

Some weeks I show a gain, that tends to discourage me for about a day, then I get more determined, study my logs to find out what might have gone wrong, and "tweak" what I do.

I sure am learning about my body and what it requires. I like that part a lot

from 11:39 poster

I wish I could say it was some easy trick, but I just stuck to WW very strictly and exercised at least 4 times a week with cardio and strength. I have about 45 pounds to lose so it came off pretty quickly in the first few weeks as I went right from the holiday binge cycle into strict diet and exercise, that will knock your body into shape :-) I lost about 2-2.5 pounds for the first 3 to 4 weeks and its been about a pound a week after that. I've been trying to lose weight for years but this is the first time I've truly stuck with a plan with little or no cheating. I wish it were easier to do but strict diet and exercise is the way to go, for me at least.

Good luck everyone!

Wow. You are all so inspiring!

I'm at the beginning of my weight loss journey right now.
I'm 30 years old, female, 5'9". So far I've lost 11 pounds in just over 1 month - but I always lose really quickly at first. I have 45 pounds left to go.

Wednesday, July 15, 2009, 11:59 AM

5'3" Female, 28 years old
Lost 14 pounds in 68 days.

Hope to lose another 22 to get my BMI into the high end of the healthy range. Like others, I lost weight quickly in the beginning, and now it's tapered off to about a pound a week.

Lifestyle changes include eating healthier, logging my food with fitday.com, counting calories (1,300 to 2,000 calories per day), and exercising three times a week. I also weigh in with a PEERtrainer group three times a week and track my weight with Excel.

Weight loss

Female, 5'8"
started: May 2009 at 185 pounds
today (July 15, 2009): about 169-170 pounds

I cut out most of the junk I ate on a daily basis, added water to my diet again, smaller portions of healthier foods, substituting lower fat ingredients in my meals and walking 45 minutes 4 times a week. I feel so much better than before. I am changing my lifestyle not dieting, that's my mentality :)

Wednesday, July 15, 2009, 1:54 PM

Hi -- here's my details; hopefully it'll motivate _me_ to get back into the game, as it were.

I'm a 5'9" female, and started dieting in late August of last year, and, with only a few setbacks (a couple plateaus, some maintainence), I managed to lose about 65 lbs in 7 months. I'm down from 228 to a relatively respectable range of 162-166. I've been slacking off for the past few months: I think I've gotten burned out with my career, and the restrictive regimen I was on (1200 cal/day limit).

Thursday, July 16, 2009, 11:25 AM

5'4 lost 31 lbs in 8 months about a 1lb a week. I did it very slowly no fad diet. I watched what I ate and I exercise with cardio and weights combined. Most of my life trying to loose weight I just try to do it the quickest way and ended up gaining the weight back with more. Also adding in weight lifting has helped with my body definition. I am now done to the last 8 lbs and it is hard but I am going to keep trucking little by little and eventually I will ge there. Hope this helps

Thursday, July 16, 2009, 11:35 PM

F, 5'4''

59 pounds in 18 months!

Slow but steady.
