How long did it take you to lose 100 ???

Sorry to hi-jack but I love that avatar, and would love to find a shirt with it lol. 

It has taken me about 7 months total to loose 100 pounds. 20 pounds in the six weeks pre-op, and 80 pounds in the 5 months post op. This has included a couple of stalls, and I have slowed down to about a pound or so a week for the last couple of months. But it is still coming off!

About the fastest I have seen someone who did not have way more than 100 pounds to loose was LarryG. He says he lost 30 pounds a month for each of the first three months and then 10 pounds the fourth month.  His wife was a veteran sleever so that might have helped him with that phenomenal weight loss.

How fast you loose has many factors including age, how long you have been overweight, how much you have to loose, and conditions such as insulin resistance and diabetes, and how much you can exercise.

Most people start out loosing 10-20 pounds a month initially, and that drops to 4-8 pounds a month, slowing down over time.

hey mack...what you wrote is PARTLY true...i did drop 100 in 4 months...

however...the wife pretty much left me alone...she wasnt mean about it, but she knows me and how wonderfully pig-headed i am, and she just knows better...it was sink or swim, buddy...and i guess i swam!   

I don't know.  Loosing a pound a day for 90 days straight, on your own and without stalls, is getting right into the "Don't hate me because I am Beautiful!" area.

It would be nice to know you at least struggled a little bit....

Thanks everybody! I know I cannot compare, or shouldn't have time goals, but I need a knee surgery after I will have lost 100, so I just wanted to know if it could be this year...
Congratulations all on your weight loss, if we add it all, it's more than a thousand pounds!!

I lost 15 pre op and have lost 87 since then.  I belive I hit 100 close to my 6 month anniversay.  Again, I had and have a LOT to lose.  I'm 62, so those things are contributing factors...one way or another.

I do not count any weight I lost pre-op because I don't attribute that to my surgery. Since the morning of surgery, I have lost 98 pounds. I will be 10 months out on Wednesday. I've been pretty much stalled for the past 3-4 months until just last week when I lost 4 pounds, so things are just starting to get moving again...slowly  :)

Since surgery I have lost 90 pounds. I will be 8 months out next week. I am hoping to be at 100 lbs down by 9 months. I did lose 18 lbs pre-op as well.

5.5 to 6 months for me to hit the 100 pound loss mark since my revision from band to sleeve. I didn't have a pre-op diet so no weightloss prior to the revision. I'm 33, and started at 263 the day of my revision, today at almost 8 months out, I'm hoovering at 143-144.
