As sometimes data on rates of loss are sometimes thin on the ground, I thought I'd share mine for you all.

I am 5ft 10. I started at 250lbs. Day of surgery, I was 243.83. BMI 35.3

I am 6 months and 8 days out (including today) since surgery.

As you will see (and I hope it brings a little reassurance to some), that although my scale is a little on the slow side in comparison to others, that the numbers (on the scale and on my body) are moving in the right direction. Stalls and all!

I am trying to reach 173lbs. This will give me (for the first time since I was 18) a normal BMI of 24.8.

As it stands of today and based on the above figures:

250lbs Starting

192lbs Current - Loss 58lbs BMI 27.8

173lbs Goal - 77lbs total loss required

58lbs / 77lbs = 75.3% of Excess weight lost

19lbs to go! (31lbs if I want to get to my lowest weight ever, although I'll re-evaluate this when I hit 'normal' )

Now, I'm just hoping that my window of opportunity isn't about to slam shut!

Would really appreciate any viewpoints on rates of loss during the 6 months- 1 year mark?

Hope the above has allayed some fears and provided a bit of confidence in your own rates of loss, all you sleeve-superstars out there!

Revs x

Start:240

Goal: 140

Total loss required: 100

Current loss (@192) = 48

No maths required. 48%

Huzzah!

Btw, that's amazing in 10 weeks.

Madam, I just luv ya!! Funny I just lost another pound too!! zeepity do dah!!

So in the future the formulation is SW-CW= X then X / GW = % lost?

Yes size in clothes is a crazy thing, I hope to feel good in my body the number on the clothes is nice to see go down. I just wonder where that will be in the future.

Hoping the building of muscle will help out the number of plastics in the future.

As you are looking at BMI as well as dress size you might be interested in this table which takes age into consideration too. I'm 55 and I don't expect to be the same weight I was at 25. I have posted this table before but some might not have seen it.

Woohoo. Love that table. Gives me 10 more pounds. And making me look forward to age 50 in 2 years cause I'll get another 11 pounds. Wooooooohooooooo. I am only 1 pound away from that now. I wonder if I can lose 12 to get in the 40-48age range or just wait 2 years!

Regarding size, I was a size 10 once, for about 5 minutes.

I've got me some child bearing hips and I can't imagine ever seeing single digit sizes. But, a girl can hope.

I really don't see too much difference in size, which is weird, but I was probs shoving myself into pants I had no business wearing in the first place.

I have a size 14 on right now, they are a bit loose, but not falling off.

In a years time, I would expect to have all of this "head" stuff beaten, and accept my lithe new figure, it'll happen!

Loose skin! On my upper, inner thighs. My neck is looking like my mothers neck. My arms are ok, FOR NOW.

Sheesh, why is it always men that have it so easy.... <awaits the nuclear fallout>

Lol now are we that bad???? Love this thread going to figure stats be back in a minute

SW 344 5 10= BMI of 49.4

CW 227.4 BMI of 32.6

I just came out of a 3 week stall that almost caused a nervous break down. Seriously I lost it. I was sure I was done losing. I was heart broken! In the last few days I have dropped 3 pounds so I feel a little better. My goal is 190 which is still overweight according to the BMI chart. My surgery was on August 20. I think I might have just been really lucky the first 7 months the rest might be slow going! And not all men skin tightens my man boobs are now where my belly button should be and my belly button is almost to my......... Well uh....... Sorry ladies it is low lets just put it that way!!!!!!

Just so you know you are not the only one who is a little data crazy, I'm attaching my own personal weight loss spreadsheet here. I weigh myself every day, enter the weight, and remove the yellow highlight to show which days were real weigh-ins and which ones were days I didn't have a scale available. All of the other measures (and there are a lot of them) are calculated from these values EXCEPT the "milestones" section which are manually entered, and somewhat random, markers that I have chosen for my milestones.

Anyway, thought you might enjoy seeing my example. My surgery was on July 30 and I have lost just over 100 lbs.

Note: You'll have to scroll around a bit to find all the measures but most of them are at the top-right of the spreadsheet, starting near cell L4.

Bea is being modest! She not only keeps this data, but she keeps the data for the rest of us involved in her weekly challenges!

Thanks Bea!

lol As I, you!

This is GREAT thanks so much! I have a chart too thanks to my hubby haha...I was astounded to see it all laid out there this weekend, -33inches and -54lbs in 4 mos 1 week! Everyday I feel like I am such a sloooooow loser but man on my own I would've never been able to lose this much! I think keeping track and seeing it laid out "on paper" really talks me down off the proverbial ledge!!! Thanks for sharing and great work! I can't wait to get down to "overweight" BMI and I am sooo close

They are great stats! Many congratulations. And don't worry, at that rate of loss you'll be 'overweight' very soon!
