Alexandra 55 Posted February 15, 2006 Well, considering the average expected loss is 4-8 lbs/mo, and you've lost 7 lbs each month, I'd say you're doing GREAT!! There is nothing to be frustrated about, you are right on track for a terrific year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beccamay 1 Posted February 15, 2006 You're doing great, if you had the outlook of 100 pounds in a year and you are down 42 at 6 months then at six months your desired goal was 50 you are only 8lbs off. You are doing wonderful, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!! :clap2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TommyO 5 Posted February 15, 2006 Pat yourself on the back, you have lost 42 pounds, you will lose 100 lbs one day but you need to tell yourself what a great job you have done so far. The cup is half full, if it takes 2 years to lose 100 lbs it doesnt matter does it. Focus on the positive and you will find you have a lot to focus on, congratulations on your success to date and keep up thye good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RayLandry 18 Posted February 15, 2006 YOU ARE DOING FINE! I am right at 6 months and I have lost "only" 50+ lbs and I am at times a little discouraged, but I realize that this is NOT a race! A year, 2 years.....what ever it takes, we WILL get there! I tell you what, I dont have that "sunken in" look that alot of people who have lost too quickly! I have maintained my muscle mass, that usually gets used up when you lose too quickly! The more I think about it........I am losing it at just the right pace!!!

Marimaru 7 Posted February 15, 2006 Well, At six months, I think I'd lost about 30 lbs, and now I'm at about 18/19 months and I'm at 55lbs lost, so even if you aren't going to reach your goal of 100lbs in one year, you are still doing really great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wendyr 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Just think of where you will be next year at this time if you keep going at that pace, that will be a great accomplishment. Slow weight loss is the healthiest choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
