Finally..something To Smile About

[msaprildawn 59]

Today I went to the mall and tried on a pair of 14 jeans and they fit!!! I'm a very slow loser this being my 5th month after surgery and only losing 56 lbs. I was so excited to finally see something that was uplifting! I was a size 20 down to a 14. Time to get motivated!

Only 56 lbs?...you go girl, give yourself a nice pat on the back size 20 to 14 is big deal. Woohoo for you!

Congrats! I think you are doing fabulous! I wouldn't call that a slow loss at all.

11 pounds a month is a very healthy rate! Sounds like you're doing fantastic!

MsApril, I think 56 lbs is good. I am approaching my 5 month mark, and only down 34 lbs.

Size 14? That rocks! =) And it's not really about how slow/fast you lose, you are still making huge changes and you might be losing the same % body weight as another person who started out heavier and has lost more actual pounds. Keep up the awesome work and you will be down even more in no time!

Thank you everone I guess it's not slow since the beginning I lost a TON but the last 2-3 months its been so slow. I stall for 4 weeks at a time. Right now is the time that people notice and someone even called me "tiny". I'm far from tiny but that makes me feel like this was all worth it! Not only do I look better I feel more balanced on my feet if that makes sense. I can get around easier and feel lighter when walking.

Good for you! You know you are a slow loser (remember this is not a race of you against another sleever) and you still keep to the plan. Way to stay positive and recognize how far you have come.

56 pounds gone forever! Down to size 14 jeans. Now that is something to celebrate!
