Is there a specific length of time you need to be over 100 lbs?

I have been at least 50 lbs overweight my entire life. I am currently 105 lbs overweight with a BMI of 36 and co-morbidities of asthma, respiratory insufficiency, joint pain, lower back pain, depression, and carpal tunnel syndrome. I've been 100 lbs overweight for about 9 months and at least 80 lbs overweight for the past two years. Do I need to have been this overweight for longer?
