Feeling alone

[barber chick 1]

Hello everybody, I'm new hear I would like to thank everyone for sharing all there success stories it's been a great motivation tool for me. My surgery was May 21st and I feel great but I don't feel that i have lost as much as I should of my starting weight was 225 and I now weigh 212. Only 13lbs I am going to start going to the gym tomorrow I know that will help. Has anyone else started out this slow?

Everyone has their own journey and some are slower than others. 13lbs is great and you should feel proud. Do you have a local support group? Having local support can be so helpful and I highly recommend it. There are also lots of great people here in the forums that can offer fantastic support as well. Good luck on your journey and don't get discouraged!

Thank you and I am trying to find a local support group. I go in for my second fill on the 10th I'm hoping that will help with my hunger.

I consider myself a slow loser, but a slow loss is better than no loss. It has taken me almost 6 months to lose 35 pounds. Please don't compare your progress to others because it will get you down. Just focus on YOU! Best wishes!

I'm a very slow loser and ALWAYS have been. A good weight loss average with the band is 1-2 pounds a week.frustrating? Yes, but if you lose a pound a week that's 52 lbs per year and that is phenomenol!

From surgery to goal weight, my average weight loss per week was about a pound. I still lost more after that, but even more slowly. You're doing GREAT - keep it up and you'll get to where you want to be!
