Average monthly weight loss ?

Just curious as to what the average monthly weight loss for you all ?

Thanks !

 

I think I have been a pretty steady loser haha Faster in first few months, but then slowed down, and stayed steady to date.

That really depends on how much you have to lose. A "lightweight" with 100 or under to lose isn't going to lose as much in a month as someone with more to lose. Here is a LINK to a weight loss estimator (and it IS just an estimate) of what you might expect to lose based on your height and weight.

This chart is accurate for me....thank you for posting!!

Dee, you just made my day !  I have been a little bummed lately, thinking I am losing too slowly.... I was 6 months post op yesterday and I have lost 78 total, but only 51 since my surgery.....  so if that chart is in any way accurate, then I am right on track !!  Have a great week !!!!

Your welcome! I'm glad it was accurate for you. I know it helped me get thru it.

I just looked at my weight chart and I lost 27 pounds in the first month.

My first six months is looking considerably different than the second six month thus far.  I lost an average of 10-14lbs per month up until my fifth month.  Now, it's about 5lbs/month.  I'm just hit 7 months and my total loss is 89lbs.
