For those of you that lost 100+ pounds, were you constantly losing? When did it slow down? Where were you at 3, 6, 9 months?

I am almost 2 years out, and stalled out all the time during the whole weight loss process. I'm almost at goal now, hope to be below it on my anniversary.

At 3 months: down 41 pounds

At 6 months: down 54 pounds

At 9 months: down 72 pounds

At 1 year: down 93 pounds

Weight loss was pretty steady for the first 3 months, some small stalls of a week or so, but mostly downwards in 3-5 pound jumps otherwise.

Around 9 months, it started getting a bit harder, but it also coincided with my feeling much more energetic and I really got into finding new and fun exercise/activities to do.

Now (about 1.5 months out from 2 years): down 124 pounds. 6 pounds from goal. But the last year it's been me really concentrating on my food and Protein and Water intake. I stall out for weeks sometimes, and occasionally gain 2-4 pounds in there too. But I keep logging every bite of food, watching my protein and calories and exercising and it slowly inches downward.

But a caution: my story and pattern is mine - yours is yours. Your body won't work exactly the same as anyone else, so don't fall into the trap of judging your progress against others. You'll do great if you just keep to the basics and don't get discouraged.

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience stalls and slow downs in weight loss. Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. If you intend to lose a significant amount of weight, you will experience stalls.
