Will you lose 100lbs in 6months?

I have heard that many people lose 100 lbs in the first 6 months. I was wondering how many of us think we may get to that marker. I am down 64lbs so I may make that 100 lb mark. How about you? Karie -64

You know I thought that I would but I haven't lost anything in the past week or so. My confidence is beginning to dwindle but my hopes continue to rise! I am really determined to lose the most I can by June. Jill -61

HI ALL!! I just lost 2 more pounds and now I am down 60 pounds! Jill... we have the same surgery date and I was stuck for about 10 days until this morning! The same thing happened to me about 20 pounds ago. I do not think I will lose 100 pounds at 6 months. I will be happy with 70.. that means 10 pounds the next month and I surely better do that! Best of luck to all of you! ~Rachel -60 pounds...FINALLY!

I was hoping to, but now I am not so sure. I have lost less than 10lbs in the last month. Jackie -60

I have lost 75 with the help of 3 strictures!! I hope to lose 100 but wondering if the strictures are as much help as they are trouble!! Alice

Hello Karie, Like the new picture, by the way! I have lost 57 pounds so far. At six months I have my goal down as about 78 pounds. Being that the first month we all lost about half of the weight that we all have under our belts now (or rather not under our belts anymore). I can't consider 100 pounds in 6 months as a valid goal for me. If I take away the first months loss, (36 pounds) not including the first month which was mostly liquid diet therefore, the most weight we will ever lose in one month, Then just considering the last 2 1/2 months I have only lost 21 pounds. Being 8.4 pounds per month. I consider 8-10 pounds per month a reachable goal for myself and for most of us. So, with that I came up with my atainable goal of a weight of 173 pounds by June 12th, my 6 month anniversary which would make my six month goal a 78 pound loss! Which I am totally happy with! I hate setting goals and not being able to reach them, it is too disappointing so, I try and set more realistic ones! Tracy

impossible... seeing how I am 4 days away from 3 months and "only" down 42 lbs 20 of that in the first month. SO unless some crazy miracle or I start a wild exercise routine--don't think that will happen. BUT I "only" have 60-80 to go for my own GOAL....either 130-150 depending on what size clothing I can get these WIDE hips into! OF course we shall see what size I can squeeze into in Fashion Bug tonight ...on the hunt for some work khaki's since the 22/24 look hideous now! baggy baggy baggy

I'm no longer counting on it....I sure hoped originally that I would, but not thinking it is highly likely now. I'm amazed at how many of us are close to the same weight loss (I'm at -62)! The way my loosing has slowed down, I'd be pretty surprised if I made it. I'm hoping to be at -70 by my 4 mo. anniversary and I'd probably be happy with -90 by my 6 mo. anniversary. Of course, I'd gladly take more but I don't want to be unrealistic either. Jenni

I expect to. I am 3 1/2 months now & down 85 lbs. However, I am not a lightweight. I have at least that much more to lose & will not make goal as soon as you lighter weights do. Dixie

I was hoping to be down 100 but now I am just hoping to lose 20 more pounds to get me below the 200 mark. I am down 57 pounds and have been here for about 3 weeks. Starting to get frustrated, but I am happy about my weight loss so far. A couple of people that I work with lost 100 pounds in 6 months though, so it is not impossible.
