I say I am slow by forum standards, but according to doc and nut I am where I need to be. I work out 5/6 days a week some days I eat 40 carbs some days I eat 80. Some days my calories are less than 800 somedays they are near 1000. I think what people need to remember is our journeys are all individual. I am pleased with MY progress and that is all that matters. Of course the post with someone saying they loss 50lb in 3 months gets attention because pre sleevers hope that will be them and post sleevers are wishing that was them. It just creates a vicious cycle of disappoint. I am not saying that person should not post their success , but people should be realistic and need to understand this process is different for us all. I stopped hanging around the boards because other people's whining about their slow weight loss had me doubting myself!

I find that the important thing to remember is that whether your a fast loser or a slow loser, the end result will be the same, weight loss...... This is a wonderful journey we're on and we have a lot of learning to do here regarding our triggers to eating bad foods etc. You have done very well in your weight loss and will continue until you reach your goal..... So CONGRATS!

Start taking pictures of yourself in the same outfit every month...then you can compare side to side...and you will see the differences for sure. 70lbs is a lot of weight! I do agree with Melissa also...if this continues seek help. Those thoughts can lead to depression and then to other things. I see a psychologist monthly (because I was a binge eater). I love going actually...good insight, someone to talk to etc. And it is always the case....where you see yourself every day so it is hard to see the changes...where as someone who might see you once a week...the changes are more prominent to them. But you have done awesome!!!

Good luck my friend!!!!

Good luck with everything. I wish I came home skinny. I love how children think. Soon the 2 of you will be roller bladeing together.

Those of us who are fast losers post our success for several reasons, including: * Disbelief of our own good fortune - helps to say it and write it * Sincere desire to encourage others I had no expectations that the "journey" would be so quick and easy for me. At a lower than usual BMI of 40, I expected it to actually go slower than for others. I do have a very fast metabolism, which causes shame rather than joy, because it means I had to work hard to get that big. And I did not do anything special, like work out (at all), or live on Unjury ( I can eat more than most and do!) to lose so rapidly. It just happened. We are in total disbelief of our good fortune and we just need to share it, not for praise and recognition, but to show others that it doesn't have to be an uphill battle for every one of us. So please tolerate us sharing our joy and success!! We share in yours, regardless of the pace!

Thank you! I tried to make protein popsicles with pudding and protein powder and they did not work out too well

I reread my post and I don't see any judgment passed on anyone. You seem to be the one jumping to conclusions. AND if you've read any of my other posts, you would have known that everything I write has a humorous twist to it. Haters gotta Hate. :-)

I keep a bowl of cucumber, peppers, and onions in vinegar in my fridge at all times. Then when I can't fight the beast that is head hunger it is something very low in calories. It usually does the trick for me.

It really can not hurt to find a behavior therapist to visit once in a while. Mostly everybody who goes through the process feels like you and I do! But- if you find a professional to talk to--- you will be very pleased.
