How fast can I expect to lose weight

To everyone that replied THANK YOU!  ALL of your replies were very helpful.

If everyone is 100% compliant - and you should be - your genetics will greatly influence how fast you lose.  If you are interested in those factors check this video.

If you are 100% compliant, YOU can't lose any faster without risking problems from too little protein - hair falling out, nail problems, loss of muscle mass, mental impairment.  I just checked and it took me 9 months to lose 100 pounds.  I could not have lost it faster.  So, I was losing 10-12 pounds a month and my friend lost 30. I kept on and now I am 145 pounds lighter!!!  By this morning, I lost over half of myself!!! 284 to 140.

PS - We all want it off NOW, OK YESTERDAY.  But if you are 100% compliant, there is no correlation between how fast you take it off and keeping it off.  If you are not compliant, however, you might never get it off.

Best of Luck
