how long did you lose?

[JohnnyCakes 593]

i am at 10 months. i reached my goal weight (230) right at 8.5 months and have been stalled there since.

i was wondering if i'm done losing. because i see on all the calculators that weight loss continues... some say between a year and 18 months. others say up to 2 years!

will i lose more weight? if you're curious, no, i'm still not hungry.

Hey Johnny, I checked and am not in the Guys' Room... but um am a newbie, so feel free to flame. But your pic made you look pretty buff. Just out of curiosity, have you had a body comp DEXA done? I think they are relatively cheap at some universities (maybe around $75 bucks)? Cuz it might determine whether you could do P90 shredding stuff to lean out any more?

But again, I shouldn't even be talking on this thread so apologies for busting in! ((hugs))

haha.... no worries. just don't skew the voting tally until you're done losing!

no i'm not really worried about getting any more "shredded" or anything. just honestly curious if i can start buying clothes again or if i should wait. it seems like my 6-week stall might be saying "you're done buddy", which is fine, but i think i would be an outlier if my weight loss stopped at 7.5 months, right?

[FluffyChix 17,418]

hahaha! not voting. But waiting breathlessly to see the results! I think you would be an outlier, yes--unless maybe you're already at 9% body fat or something so crazy low. Then I think you would have to jump thru Herculean hoops to shred in order to get your weight to change. And it might not even go down then if you're actually at the fulcrum where any fat loss in pounds is replaced by muscular lean gains of the same weight? But I'm not good enough on sports physiology to say. You may just be one of the guys with more LBM for the weight...

I'm not sure if I should respond I'm a sleeve. So flog me if you must @JohnnyCakes

Your body should settle in a weight that its comfortable with. I would wait a bit before buying a full closet of clothing.

I settled at my goal weight (140) at 6 months out. A year out (125) I burnt muscle and looked sickly. I am four years out and I can still lose weight.

this is awesome, i’ve received exactly ZERO responses.

I'm not voting because I'm still losing and I don't want to mess up the poll results I'm 15 months out and still fighting the good fight. My weight loss is much slower at this point and I'm dealing with more stalls. I feel like I could pretty easily stop losing if I wanted but I'm not at goal so I keep fighting the good fight.

Damn... can’t believe you haven’t gotten more responses! I’m replying to bump this to the top so more people can see it.

I will be your next non reply because I had the sleeve not bypass and I know how you feel about the sleeve... but I lost for a year almost exactly. I don’t know if I might have lost for longer or not because I didn’t want to lose any more and put the brakes on.

[FluffyChix 17,418]

Bumping too. Cuz I selfishly want to see those numbers!!!

I am also wondering. I am 11 months out and have only lost 3 pounds in the last two months. I am 15 pounds from goal so starting to worry this may be it for me.
