how much weight did you lose at the 7 months mark?

[kerri21 1]

Just wondering how much weight all you sleevers have lost by the 7 month mark?

im getting sleeved next month and im going on a cruise in the Spring. All i think about is how much weight i'll be down by the time I go on the cruise. Im hoping for at least a 70 lbs, that gives me an average of 10 lbs a month. :thumbup:

Are you all obsessed with the whole weightloss thing? its the only thing i think about now.

It's all I think about too. Can't wait to go to bed so I can get up and weigh myself. I know, shouldn't weigh myself every day. Anyway, I'm only at the 2 month mark but I've lost 30 lbs so far. An average of 15 lbs per month. I'm happy with that.

I just passed the 7 month mark. I had 68 pounds to lose and at 7 months, I was down 64.2 pounds. Just 3 pounds to go to "official" goal as of this morning!!!!!

I had lost right around 120lbs in 7months.

WOW Tiff! That's awesome!

How often (and for how long) did you work out?

Do you exercise more or less now that you're in maintenance?

I didn't work out until I was 4 months out, and I focused on weight lifting and 1 day of cardio. At 8 months post-op, I had to have my gallbladder out. I quit working out, and I never got my mojo back.

I do not work out at all now. I'm too busy with everything else in my life. I went back to work part-time as a direct sales advisor for lia sophia, I volunteer on base with my squadron, and military spouse club, and I'm on our PTA board with my son's school. Add that on top of my active social life, I literally have little time to work out so I just don't do it anymore.

I'm sure I need to, and could lose more inches, but I'm content with how I look and feel at this point.

When I was working out, I lifted 3 days a week. I focused on a different area of the body every day, and I did 1 hard day of cardio and core training.

I lost about 85 pounds in seven months, but I have had skewed results because of complications, so I would say I lost 85 in five to six months, since I gained weight for a month or two after surgery.

I think 70 pounds is really doable based on your starting weight.

How exciting to have a cruise to look forward to, I bet it will be a great inspiration to you on your journey! best wishes!

I am at month 6 and have lost 71lbs. I have just got done with my stall finally! So Im not sure where i will be at my 7th month. Everyone is different as you can see. Our metabolisms and eating habits all play a role. My job keeps me active so I move alot where as some may have desk jobs. I woul dsay though that 70 seems to be around the norm though but dont be discouraged either way! Anything is better than where we started! Good luck! :biggrin0:

70 pounds in 7 months is doable. Don't let the very common early stalls discourage you, however, like some of us, you may not experience any at all. I was down a solid 95 pounds by 7 months - I'm almost 8 months out now and it's really coming to a standstill but I could be perfectly happy if this is where it stops as I've never weighed below 160. I'm in a size 6 and I'm 5'7" tall with ridiculous bones. I like to think I'm fairly muscular too, I ride my bike about 100 hard miles per week (worked my way up to that recently but started riding again right after surgery.) Watch the carbs, exercise, keep it honest and you'll do great! Oh, and yes, I did/do obsess about weight loss - I still weigh every day in the morning. It works for me and keeps ME honest.

65lbs from the actual date of the op, there was weight loss prior to that due to the preop diet.

[purple tulip 2]

68lbs in 7 months with some serious stalls mixed in there. I'm happy with the progress.
