Time it took for you to meet goal?

Just curious to see how long it took some of you light-weighters to meet goal? I have lost 58.4 pounds in about 4-1/2 months, and have about 40 pounds to lose to be at goal. 

I wouldn't consider myself a light weight. but I'm almost to goal- probably 11 months from surgery date. I did lose 53 pounds before surgery. stats below

If you don't mind me asking how did you lose so much before surgery?

53 pounds I lost before surgery...

Lightweights or not, I would wager that the vast majority reach goal within a month or two of one year. A very few make it in 7 or 8 months.

There are a bunch more *****ach goal at 18 months to 2 years. And there are a small number who do it over several years.

I'm not a lightweight, but will share my stats.

I lost 30 pre-op. After my RNY, it took me 14 months to lose 170 more and reach goal (BMI=22).

I lost from my surgery weight of 258.5 to 120 in 9 months but I am an extreme rule follower. I followed my eating plan 100 percent of the time and exercised at least 40 minutes daily. I have been at or below goal for about 31/2 years now and still weigh daily and measure and track my food when I'm at home.

Wow! You reached goal at an amazing rate!

My actual original goal was 165 then I lowered it to 145 and actually ended up at 120. And this was after a lifetime of being obese. I never expected to ever be this small but love my new active life now. Everything is so much easier and more fun. Best decision I ever made!

I was a BMI of 40 with 100lbs to lose.  Ended up losing 120lbs in just under six months.  However, I wasn't always morbidly obese, just overweight as an adult. Doubt I would get surgery now, but it was easier 12 years ago.
