  • How long should it take (on average) to lose 140 pounds?

    I do understand that everyone loses at their own pace, but can some males (or women if they know of a males story), tell me in what time frame (on average) it should take to lose 140 pounds?

    I am 6'0, about 357 pounds, 19 years old and have a very active job (basically a mover with a different title).

    Thanks!

    I lost 187 pounds in 15 months, but as you said everyone is different. I am not sure any results could be considered typical. To some extent it depends on a bunch of individual things like metabolic resistance. I can however assure you if you do the diet as prescribed, you will be healthier after one year than you are today.

        I was thinking from men in my life's experience about 1-1.5 year .......... it so depends on your metabolism, your level of commitment and how much exercise you do! So hard to say!
