The most weight I ever lost was 30 pounds and that was on the Atkins diet. After 6 months I had to go off the diet and the weight returned 1 year later. I then lost 20 pounds with just walking and now I am at 10 pounds over weight. What is the most you ever lost?

Ever since I can remember I have never lose weight successfully. I have tried all kinds of diet that seems to be working on my friends but not me. I have tortured myself far too long trying to look like the models in the magazines that I now surrender to the fact that I am what I am and no matter how hard I try to lose weight it just keep adding up. But you do motivate me by your walking regime and this is the only exercise that I haven't tried so far.

With the help of gastric bypass surgery I lost 145 pounds. Had I never had the surgery it wouldn't have been possible for me to do this. I had always suffered with weight issues until I reached high school. Through those fours years I would manage my weight by starving myself at least a few days each month. This unhealthy method allowed me to maintain my weight throughout high school until I gave birth to my first child. After the birth of all three of my children I steadily gained weight until I became what they called morbidly obese. It wasn't that I was lazy or ate very large amounts. I just couldn't quit gaining weight and there was no way for me to lose it other than starvation. I would lose 20 or 30 pounds here and there and gain it plus 20 or 30 more pounds once I started eating again. So nearly three years ago I underwent gastric bypass surgery and have lost my excess weight and have kept most of it off. My weight now fluctuates within 20 pounds or so.

The only time I have ever really lost weight is after having my kids. That weight did not stay gone for too long though. I always managed to find it again pretty quickly. I actually weigh about 20 pounds more now than when my daughter was born 2 years ago.

My senior year in high school I lost around 30 pounds and was grossly underweight at 90 pounds. I was pretty much anorexic in my eating habits logging every calorie and specifically how much of everything I ate (i.e. 5 grapes, 1 bite of bread)... Very unhealthy. I'm trying to lose weight now through exercise and cutting back on my eating, it isn't as quick, but I feel much better about the weight loss that I do get and my self esteem is much better now. I think I need to lose about 30 pounds right now to get me down to 110 pounds which is about right for my height.

The most that I lost was 30 lbs. after I had my daughter. I was determined to drop those pounds. I drank a lot of water, ate healthy and those pounds dropped in about 2 months. I did not have to do much exercise either.

I lost 25 pounds last year, and I've been able to keep it off. Unfortunately, I haven't been keeping in shape, however. All my muscle has turned to mush, and although I haven't gained anything in numbers, I feel less healthy and less attractive. I've recently gotten much better about working out to try and scrape off a few extra pounds and some of this squishiness that has crept up since the big weight loss last year.

Hi moneymommy...I too lost weight on the Atkins diet! I lost only 20 pounds in 3 months. I looked so much better but as soon as I went off the diet the pounds came right back on. I'm trying to be a bit more active nowadays and limit my carbs without totally cutting them out. But it was nice to be thinner...

I lost 59 lbs 3 years ago. I was in a nursing home for 4 months and hated the food. Now I have changed to a healthier lifestyle and have kept it all off. Even lost 5 more lbs.
