I just read that most people are only to expect to loose 60% of their weight. How much has some of you lost? Are you at goal weight? And what's the average for the first month, second.... Etc?

My doctor says its from 60-80 percent

you can look at my siggy for how much i lost and i just reached goal at 18 months out!

I'm below my goal weight. I started on the journey at a high of 427, 388 the day after my surgery date and now weight 197. I don't think I'm normal however. Everyone loses at their own pace, they have stalls (I had stalls) and some medicines they take that make it more difficult to lose weight.

I set some exercise goals, including doing a triathlon by my 11th month, and I have regular workout schedule that is pretty intense. Please don't set your expectations by anyone or anything that will make you uncomfortable.

That being said I hestitate to give you these numbers, by month:

1st -50 pounds

2nd -13 pounds

3rd -18 pounds

4th -17 pounds

5th -20 pounds

6th -18 pounds

7th -12 pounds

8th -9 pounds

9th -12 pounds

10th -7 pounds

11th -6 pounds

12th -2 pounds

13th -4 pounds

14th -7 pounds

I'll probably lose another 12 pounds before I stabilize based on my workout schedule.

Wow maxindex,

You have done so well! I am hopeful I will make it to my goal weight. I have 115 to loose!

I'd love to go from my sleeved weight of 271 to 140ish, but my personal goal is 175. It's the lightest I've ever been. Anything less than that will be a plus! Both weights fall within the expected range.

I have lost 80% of my weight. I would like to get down 10 lbs and I have pasted my doc's goal. I love my new skinniness!
