Mass loss rates for OH/IR stars can be estimated in several independent ways, each with its own drawbacks or rather arbitrary assumptions. For a number of OH/IR stars "geometrical" distances are available, that have an accuracy of 10%. In that case it is possible to determine the total envelope mass, i.e. all the mass the star has lost since it left the Zero Age Main-Sequence. Consequently, these stars might be used to calibrate the various mass loss formulae, or alternatively to determine the Asymptotic Giant Branch lifetimes.
