How long does it take to lose 100+lbs?

Hello,

I used to weigh 180 pounds at 5’10", and I would like to drop a few pounds. I weigh 289 pounds now, and it scares me. I do not know how else to handle it, so I am attempting to cope with comedy.

Tonight, I broke up with my partner because I found out she was sneakily putting extra calories in my food to make me gain weight for a kink. My consistent weight gain perplexed me for years because exercising did not make a difference. She continued to eat what appeared to be the same meals without gaining weight, so I never realized it was her cooking. My meals included three or twice as many calories.

Right now, I need to assess the damage because I am staying on a friend’s couch. I want to know how long it might take to get healthy again and drop the weight, so I want to ask the correct questions of a doctor. My perception of food has altered because of her meals, and I am concerned that this could become an addiction. Is that even feasible? (She consumed more than 2000 calories a dinner).

I appreciate any assistance.

A reasonable weight loss target is one to two pounds per week. Nonetheless, even a 5% weight loss will be noticeable. So make your first objective to shed 15 pounds. Then go ahead and reset that objective.

It kind of depends on when you want the clock to start, in my opinion. About seven or eight years ago, I made my first weight loss entry, dropping as much as 300 pounds, with my best weight being 312. After that, I worked on improving, gained it back, and then went through phases of maintaining.

I had reached a plateau last summer, about 280, and I was beginning to understand the mental and lifestyle aspects of making gains. I have decreased by about 80 in the last nine months, but my best was over 100. However, my goal is to see if this most recent effort will allow me to reach an even 100 lost in a year.
