I suppose everyone is different. Many people stick to it religiously for months some not so long. I'm looking to do a couple of months then move onto SW.

I guess it's pretty difficult to say, for me so far I have done a total of just over 16 weeks with a 2 week holiday in the middle, I estimate it will take me about 7 weeks to get to target, at which point I should be having another 2 week holiday, then the plan is to SS one more week, then move up the steps - looking at the minimums for each of the steps that'll take another 7 weeks until maintenance - totalling 35 weeks for me (assuming all goes well) to lose about 5st total. this is based on the fact that up until a week ago I was 100% SSing, and most likely will mix SS and SS+ until i get to target.

It depends on how much people have to lose. I did 7 months SS / SS+ my first time round, then started messing around for the next 3 months before I switched over to WW. Generally you can expect 1 stone a month on average (subject to individual differences between people), so you should be able to work out how long it will take you.
