Whats the most amount of weight you've ever lost? Options

[sprezzatura]

I think the most for me is 10 pounds because I could not stick to any diet and I couldn't resist food<3.

I wanted to lose 30 pounds though so I would fit in clothes better and no fat sticking out.

60 pounds. I did it in a year. I completely let myself go in my late teens and early twenties. Around 23, I decided I'd had enough. I was living with an abusive boyfriend and my self esteem was pretty non existant. So I pretty much made myself into this weird fitness machine.

Of course, I lost all that weight then became pregnant when I was 24.

Wow, thats amazing. Seriously.
Did you stick to any specific diet?

Lol It's been a month... and I still havent lost a single pound.

This past year I lost about 23 pounds.

Well from like April 2006 to September 2006 I lost 20 pounds, and since then I've only lost a few more.

It was because of my anti-depressants, and just having some self-control and not pigging out.

Yep, there's no way I couldn't have lost that much without being very strict. First off, I NEVER ate anything fried and never went to fast food (the latter was the most difficult, believe it or not). I didn't eat red meat and only allowed myself fish one day a week and chicken one day a week. I mostly ate raw vegetables and fruit. Stayed away from anything canned or frozen almost completely. Let's just say that the folks at Trader Joes knew me by name.

I made it interesting for me at one point by actually walking to the store after work to get only what I was going to eat that night. It was this out of sight, out of mind type philosophy and I really, truly think that helped. I also worked out every single friggin day. I didn't care what class 24Hour Fitness (the gym membership I had at the time) was having, I'd just hop in. I didn't want to be at home and since my activity was monitored (long story), the gym was a safe place to be.

Now, there's no way I could possibly do that again. At least not that much and certainly not in that time frame. For one thing, I'm older, MUCH older (and with age, my poor metabolism isn't what it used to be). I'm also a parent now and I couldn't possibly work out every day after work.

My son is starting hockey soon and the place they practice and play is down this hill from my house. So what I think I'm going to start doing is walking there whenever he has practice/games. I also just bought a treadmil. So when I'm watching "Lost" (for example), I'll try to run/walk at the same time. :)

Something I've done recently (for a few reasons) is to start keeping a food diary and I'm going to submit that food diary to a friend (thanks Kiera ) I think I'll do it once a week though, since it seems a bit tedious to give to her everyday.

Wow that was a long winded reply.

[...Lost.In.Life....]

well the most is 9 kilos

i dont no wat that is in pounds

but i lost it in 2 days

i have a very irregular weight i can lose 9 n gain 5 in a matter of 4 days

[breakingdawn]

I lost like five pounds...in a week? I didn't even try. I just hopped on the scale and voila, five pounds lighter!

[Detective]

A couple pounds in 2 weeks. And thats just cause i run alot at lacrosse practice.

[ksoyeah]

I lost about 8 pounds. Well...that was because I was sick. :[
Haha, yeah. I gained 'em back, though. Now I'm 106 pounds.

[*suddenly she*]

I intentionally lost ten pounds last summer. It wasn't a very good idea because last summer before I started losing weight I was already considered underweight...

Now my weight fluctuates by about ten pounds.
I keep gradually gaining because I've done a lot of weightlifting for a while now.

[alysaphobia]

5 pounds.
i never really lose weight, so yeah.
it was when i was sick and i couldn't really eat for a period of time.

[dreamii]

I lost 20 pounds from Aug 2006 to now. I basically ate A LOT less than last year when I ate about 5 times a day - full meals. I tried to control myself and didn't eat snacks, cut out the junk food, candies, soda, etc. But I still ate healthily except the portions were less. I didn't really exercise like crazy but I definitely moved around way more than I did before. For example, I would get off 1 stop earlier on the bus so I can walk more, and get up during commercial time and just move around a bit, just little things like that.

I still want to lose 5 more but I don't have that motivation anymore =x I eat candies and snacks now so I really am not cutting any pounds right now..and summer's right around the corner! I hope I can do it by June!

I've lost 15 lbs. by playing DDR, actually. & then I ran in the summer to maintain my weight. Now, I play ITG since I'm too lazy to run & do strength training. :]

[YourSuperior]

I don't know how much I've ever lost really.. I never keep up with my weight because I'm not too skinny or too fat.

[NYCin2009]

I lost about 20 pounds when i tried to be a vegetarian for two months.

[FoxLucky]

I went from 100 lbs to 115 lbs (in college, the famous Freshmen 15 haha) and I caught mono (from a cheating BF) and I dropped down to 88 lbs which was really bad considering I'm 5'2" and rail thin to begin with. So that's almost 30lbs. I looked like Nicole Ritchie

[falsetigerlimbs]

Close to 25 pounds. I didn't even need to lose it, really. I was a size 8-9, and now I'm a size 2-3. That's a lot of dress sizes for only 25 pounds, but I'm only 5'4" so that might be why.

[laxumaster8]

25 pounds...but it was not good so i gained like 5 more back

[illriginal]

45lbs in 3 months.

All it took was for a girl (which I didn't even like) to call me fat in such a gruesome manner.

The very next day I joined the gym... and hit the treadmill hard... 45 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes of running. God I looked disgusting at 190lbs though, I love being 200lbs even.

[Detective]

Just about 5 pounds during my lacrosse season this year.

[no-name]

around 30
127 to 97
but then i gained it all back and then some now i am trying to lose at least 20 pounds

[Jinny]

Around 10 pounds from exercise & healthier eating habits

[lovescream]

LOL.. 10 POUNDS..
It's weird though. Maybe there's something wrong with my scale, but before dinner I was 92 pounds, and after dinner I was around 80.. lmao.
