Anyone here lost over 100lbs in 6-9 months?



Recommended Posts

Is it really possible to lose that much? I guess if you're 400+ but for someone who is only 320 and want to lose 130-140 before my next birthday!

If anyone has high stats like that please share!?

Also any tips or secrets to help motivate the Weight loss?

Tnx

Hi, it is posible I lost 93 pounds st my 6 month mark got to 100 later that month today is my 1 year anniversary and I’ve lost a total of 140 pounds I’m 5’11 starting weight was 308.

i went to the gym 6 times a week, follow my nutritionist plan to the letter practice jujutsu 3 times a week and walked my dog

it is possible just stay focus on your goal and don’t cheat Keep going to the gym and eat healthy food and no more than the portion your DR recommends

i hit the 100 pound mark at 6 months. It can happen.

the more you have to lose the more you can drop in the first months.

no matter if it takes you 6-9 or 18-24 months the only thing that will count is can you maintain the new life you are building in all the years ahead. this is a marathon not a sprint. Think lifetime

So my highest weight was 311 and by my 6 months I was 210. So yes totally possible. I'm also 5'3" so very short over here. I'm hoping to be down to 150-130 by my 1 year

I'm close to hitting that 100lb lost mark. I lost 15 pounds in my 6 months prep, 15 pounds during my 2 week preop liquid diet and the rest in the last 7 months since my surgery. So it is possible but not guaranteed - everyone is different.

Yes, it's definitely possible. I did start out a lot higher than you did, but I still say it's possible. I will warn against setting timed weight loss goals though. I did that in the past, and it wasn't mentally healthy for me. Maybe you'll be okay with it, but I found myself losing weight but not being happy with the loss because I didn't hit X amount of pounds lost by X date. Now, I just Celebrate every pound lost, and it's been a much more enjoyable experience for me.

Yes! I am 5 months out and 109lbs down. The pre-op really helped jump start my weight-loss. I lost a good 24 pounds right before surgery and got used to having only liquids before I had to do the real thing. Anything is possible, but all of our bodies are different. Stay positive and focused and you'll do great! I even take selfies now and am obnoxious about it (LOL) because it's exciting to get all that weight off!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
