Question:
What can I expect in weight loss and how long will it take?

I know weight loss varies, and depends a lot on how much you have to lose. What can I expect to lose in the first month, and within six months? How long has it taken someone in my range to reach goal? I am hoping I can do it in a year. Thanks. PS I have posted this question twice, not sure why it doesnt get on the boards.    — Nene B.

I had Open VBG last June. I lost over 30 lbs in the first month. By six months, I'd lost 120 lbs. Now, at 11 months, I've lost a total of 146 lbs.
