Average 6 month weight loss?

Just curious what is an average weight loss for 6 months. I know that every person is different but they should be an average among most people.

There really is no average. How could there be, when some weigh 200, and others weigh 500? Some are tall, others short? Some lose a lot before surgery, others gain a little? Some exercise like fiends, others are nearly bedridden?

Don't do this to yourself. Follow your plan. Chart your progress over time, not day to day, or even week to week. You'll get where you want to be if you stick to the program. There are no comparisons.

Love this.  as Grim said & Don't compare yourself to others just do what you're supposed to do.  Sometimes it's hard to not look at what others have lost but all our starting points were/are different.  Eat right & exercise.  Good luck

I beg to differ. Of course there is an average and a median for that matter. Are you going to get it from an informal poll on a web forum? No. What conclusions can you draw from the average? I mean, you have to remember middle school math to be able to put those numbers in perspective. Anyway I did some searching online and couldn't find anything for six months out but I'm sure you could find a number.

It's better to look at % Excess Weight Loss than straight up pounds lost.

49yr old female, 5'5" ,  down  85lbs in the first 6 months, with limited exercise,  and carbs below 60g per day. 

As you say, everyone is different 

I agree with Grim, but if you need a number, the average seems to be 50% of excess weight lost in the first six months.

Looking at your numbers, you look right on track. Relax.

When i need motivation or confirmation of mysuccess i go to the OH poat op planner. Plug in my info and hit calculate. It gives me a great visual goal to work for on a monthly basis.
