30 lbs in 5 months by going primal/paleo. Also much healthier and I am smaller than I've ever been at this weight before, with yummy muscles and a shit ton of endurance. And not hungry.

*Oops. I meant 13:41

It depends. I am PP 15:01 and I was 5'7" and 170. I've lost 20 lbs in 2.5 mos through WW. However, I definitely agree that, no matter which approach you take, losing weight is ultimately a matter of better food, smaller portions, and more exercise.

I lost 20lbs on WW. Started mid-March. Hoping to lose another 10 this summer.

eat less. eat better (more fruits, veggies, less carbs, less processed). exercise more.

15:09 -- I do think WW doesn't encourage enough activity, so I'd up workouts far beyond what they recommend

35 lbs, WW, longer than I'd like but have kept steady even during rough patches ... so I guess it's pretty gone

There are dozens of threads on EVERY topic. Maybe the OP is looking for actual conversation, where she can react to what was posted (with an actual probability of the same person responding back).

Angry much? My point is there's a lot of good information out there already that the OP may find helpful. Take a chill pill, pp.

I have lost 40 lbs since February using LoseIt and improving my eating/ exercise habits. I think its nice since its free and really makes me accountable for how I eat. I am smaller now than ever ( size 0 is too big).

I have lost 20 lbs over the last 10 weeks with Weight Watchers. I highly recommend it.

Change of diet - stopped eating cheese and butter and desserts. Consciously tried not to overeat. More careful about ordering at restaurants.

Had been working out regularly but upped the intensity.

Oh and what helps is when dh goes out of town. He cooks for us and tends to make higher fat foods and lots of it. When family is not around I eat a lot less. Also I always pack lunch and make a point of adding fruit and veg.

Over 2 or 3 years I've lost close to 20 pounds. But it's all from lifestyle change. I'm not going back to lots of cheese and butter and dessert.

How did you do it? How long did it take you?
