I have seen multiple posts about having a limited time to get weight off. My doc has never mentioned this.

For those who got this advice do they say why?

It seems a lot of factors would come into play. Motivation fatigue, less weight to lose so not as big of movement, easier to eat.

But I can't think of any biological reason this would be the case really. Aside from your body adjusts to the low calories?

Any insights? I'm confused. I am taking the approach it is a marathon and I can't expect all my behaviors to change overnight. My eating is going well and exercise is better but not where I want it to be. This "time limit" idea freaks me out and seems like the opposite of what people say about sustainable weight loss. Permanent and slow changes are the way to go.

I call BS on that, personally, as does my surgeon. Your easiest results happen in the first year or so, but that's not the end by any means.

There is no "time limit". Your body will adjust as it should. Weird of them to say such a goofy thing!

Yes, there's no "time limit." But you do get max results in the first year, so take advantage.
