I am still about 25 lbs from goal. People do not treat me any different.

I am an average loser at 1-2 lb a week. I've lost 58 lbs in 13 months.

I am treated quite differently in stores and people take me more seriously.

I was banded in December and I've lost 83lbs.

I can only help with the first question so far... At one point in my life I managed to lose 90 pounds on my own (gained most of it back of course...) but the difference in how people treated me was incredible.. it really made me mad how much more respect and consdiration I got when I was a bit thinner!! Of course some people will be jerks no matter what you way, but in general the difference was astounding.

People treat me a lot different, but then I treat me different too. I'm nicer to me and like myself more and I think it shows, so people are nicer to me too.

But people will always treat other people like crap. It's just a feature of humanity I guess.

And some people will actually treat you worse..they are upset, used to you being "the fat one" and get jealous when you are not.

So, like I said, it's going to go on anyway...mean people will find a way to be mean.

Regarding how fast people lose...it's depends on the person. Some are very slow, some are very fast. I was a fast one in year one, lost 100 lbs. I still have thirty to go and it's going veeeery sloooooowly now. : shrug :
