How much have you lost over what period of time. And how long have you stayed at goal, not put on?

I lost 103# in 10 months (my goal), 112 at 1 year, and 117 in 15 months. I'm happy with 112#.

Hi was banded in June at reached goal in January. 200 to 150. So about 50 pounds in 6 months.

Since January I've lost another 11 pounds, so 11 pounds in 3 months. But I'm on maintenance and have to keep my calories up or I'll keep losing.

Banded December 05, truly cant remember when I reached goal - which was 75 kg - it was about June 07 I think. That was a first goal only, I knew I wouldnt be happy to stop there as I'd weighed that much for long periods of time before and still felt a bit fat. Since then I've dwindled down to about 70 to 71kg over the past eight or nine months and I think its probably still going VERY slowly. I'd love to get under 70kg although I have no real need to, just because I could never ever manage it before, it would be at triumph of sorts.

But what I'm really doing now is not trying to lose weight - I have 26% body fat which I'd like to trim a little - so I've taken up some more serious strength training as well as running now.

Oh, I've lost about 90lb now all up. I was a slower loser because I dont believe in dieting and I really dont believe in low carbing.

I didn't "Diet" didn't starve, but I did exercise daily, and rather than relying on super restriction, I ate healthy, whole foods as often as I could. I lost the 190lbs in about 16 months.

I still do so, and have maintained without effort for close to two years now.

You are and have done really well, you are what shows me can be done, so looking at my stats, i am doing just as well, just a few people who new others told me their weight lose was double and they were roughly my weight to start.thanx

hi,

I have been banded for 7.5 years, i started at 115kgs or 253.5lb and lost 45kgs/ 99.2lb in a year and a half, i had to lose it slower because i was only 15yrs so the dietitan planned for me to lose it slower :-) I have kept it off for 6yrs easily.

I exercise daily and eat sensibly but now that im maintaining i get my treats when i want them, i just exercise a bit more to compensate. You learn to balance it after a while
