So Doc is always quoting: You lose 1/2 your weight in the first 6 months, 1/2 of that (1/4) in the next 6 months, and the last 1/4 over the next year...
So I got out the BMI chart to try to figure things out. I'm 5'10 and the chart says that to be in the 'normal weight' range I should weigh 165 (that's actually for 5'9, it doesn't show 5'10, the next it shows is 5'11).
Also, I don't think I can get that low, like I've mentioned before, at 199 my pelvic bones bruise, so I'm shooting for 200 and then I'll re-evaluate, maybe 185....but anyway, lets just go with the figures...
If I were to set my goal at 165, then I would need to lose a total (pre-surgery) of 165 pounds. To break it down...
1/2 of 165 is 82.5 pounds (first 6 months)
1/4 of 165 is 41 pounds (second 6 monts)
last 1/4 (over the next year)
So...82.5 pounds in the first 6 months. Right now I am 10 weeks post-op, not quite 3 months, and I'm down 41 pounds, which is 1/2 of the 82.5 pounds I would need to lose in the first 6 months. I thought I was behind the curve! I'm right on. You don't see that until you put it on paper.
Yea!
Thanks Doc!

You are right on track!! Congrats. 
I really like this idea. It's a good way to see our results because sometimes we feel like we aren't losing enough.
Ok, let me see if I have this right...
If I set my goal at 150 lbs.
1/2 of 150 is 75 pounds first 6 months - I am 5 months & I have lost 76lb
1/4 of 150 is 37.5 pounds second 6 mounts
and last 1/4 over the next year
Next.....

If you set your goal at 150, then, 288-150 = 133
1/2 of 133 is 66.5 lbs in the first 6 months.... 
It is half of your excess weight, not your goal weight.
So, you are above the curve. | |

5'5 should be 134, I started at 233 so 99 pounds over. I'll say 100 to make it easy.
1/2 of 100 is 50 lbs. I'm down 60 lbs at 6 months and 3 weeks so I'm a little ahead of the curve. ;o)

hmm had 110 pounds excess weight to lose..
6 mo..55, 12 mo...23...24 mo..the final 23?
Well, from the beginning, I have lost 75 pounds, but..if we count from surgery date, it changes..
I was 217, so 87 pounds excess...
so 44 in the first six months..
22 more in next 6
22 more in next year??
Its been 4 and i have lost 52 (since surgery not program start)
so I am doing ok I think..a little ahead of schedule..yay for summer!
so at one year, I should be hovering around 151 (but god i hope i hit 150 before summer..is that really so unrealistic???!!
and at 2 years, should be around 130?? ugh..long time away..
am i even doing this right..this is a little depressing  | |

Jess, you are doing excelent
At surgery date you were 217. Your goal is 130. 87 pounds.
1/2 of 87 = 44 pounds (1st 6 mo)
1/4 of 87 = 22 pounds (second 6 mo)
last 1/4 = 22 pounds (second year)
You are only 4 moths post op and already lost 52 pounds!
So ya must be doing something right!
Now I know this is not written in stone and everyone will be different...a little behind, a little ahead, and there will be Doc Sanae's 'humps and bumps' but it gives us a good idea of where we are. Some may be slow in the beginning and catch up a little later or really lose fast then slow down later, it's all good! Good luck to everyone
