I started at 220, lost 80 pounds in 7 months. The 1st few months I lost 20 pounds each month, and then it slowed down. I found out I was pregnant at 7 months... so my weight loss stopped. Now, I am losing again, at a fast rate. I think it all depends on how diligent you are on the exercise, and the right food choices. It also depends on how much you have to lose. I was told not to expect the fast weight loss becuase I was "a lightweight" (I had never been called that!)

Good luck!

I'm just over 10 mos post. I didn't really have a per month loss, I lost the majority of my weight between mos 4 and 7. Probly 100 lbs of it fell off then.

right now I am 128 lbs down, and still want to lose another 25.

God Bless!

I started at 300 and the first month lost a pound a day for 30lbs. After that it averaged between 5-10 per month and I've lost 86lbs. I'm 5 months out. Everyone is different.

I am 7 (almost 8) weeks out and I have lost 36 pounds. It is fantastic that I have lost this much, but I wish it would come of faster!! :) I am going to step up my exercise routines this week, I need to burn what is on my hips and thighs.... I am losing everywhere else, and I am going to look funny!! Good luck to all losers!

im 11 months out and i have lost 72 pounds, but the majority of it was in the first 5 months. I've only lost about another 5 pounds or so since september. Its really hard to gauge your loss by everyone elses. I would have lost my mind if i did too much comparing, since i think i have lost much slower then a good majority of others on here.

I'm just about 4 months out....and i lost a pound a day for the first month or so and since then i appear to be between 15 - 20 lbs per month. 84 lbs so far (Starting weight was 341)

I lost 88 pounds in 7 months....but each person is different. I exercised every day which my doctor said made a huge differance in how fast I lost.

I lost about 145 pounds in a year, but I started at 392 so my rate of loss was going to be rather rapid because of my high weight that I started at. I've been slower since about month 9 or 10 though...my averages aren't that great really because I haven't been diligent in exercising! I'm working on it now, but work on it early on to make it a lifelong habit and to maximize your starting weight loss! Like someone else said...don't compare yourself to others too much or you'll go crazy. I did that a lot and it drove me crazy! We all start at a different weight and our bodies will metabolize differently and it depends on our diet and exercise and vitamin routine. Good luck and you're going to do great!

I'm almost a year out and lost 15 lbs pre-op and 100 lbs post-op. Most of this happened in the first 6 months. I'm now 160 lbs and my surgeon told me I don't need to lose any more weight. I'd still like to lose another 10 lbs or so, but I'm fine just maintaining my current weight and staying healthy.

At 6 weeks out I'd lost 45 pounds. I wish it would go faster, but as others have said, it varies for everyone.

I started at 315 and on my year anniversary I weighed 140 pounds...for a total of 175 pounds.

I lost more than most people I know and have met. I lost about 30 the first month and then averaged about 15-20 each month after that.
