I started my weight loss journiney in July. Well, that was the 3rd of 4th time that I started it. But, I think I'm more serious this time. Have stuck with it longer, so far.
I lost 7 lbs in 5 weeks, then had to go on steroids for MS, and gained 7 lbs in 3 weeks. So, I kind of count September as my starting date, since I sort of had to start over.
Since September, I've lost 18 lbs in about 13 weeks. I've used a combination of techniques: - some SOUTH BEACH diet concetps (low-carb for awhile, now "good carbs" and "good fats")
- IsoLean shakes (supposed to have two a day + one 400-600 calorie meal, but, I usually eat fewer shakes and more "real" food)
- "calorie cycling" -- I tried JUDDD (Down days, 500 calories, alternating with Up days), but, I didn't like the 500 calorie days. So, I'm still doing Down days and Up days, but, not so low.
My goal is to lose a total of 50 lbs by May 22 (my daughter's wedding), and a few more by July 9 (30 year reunion).

Update:
Have lost 43 lbs in 31 weeks. Wedding is less than 4 weeks away. :-) Won't likely make my 50 lbs by May 22 goal, but, that's OK. I'll be close, and, because of my original success, that was revised from my original goal, which was to lose 50 lbs in 50 weeks (Sept 2010 to Sept 2011), so I'm still way ahead of that.
