9 months out....slow loser

[Muffin18 11]

I'm trying not to have a pity here be dang! I've been a slow loser from the beginning and have stalled several times for weeks at a time. Just frustrated! I have only lost 60 lbs IN 9 MONTHS. I see everyone else having such success. I'm giving it one more shot with working out and Protein and Water and all the right things, if nothing happens this time maybe this is the size I'm suppose to be.

Sleeved 3April 2012 and loss is 70lb. I know it is hard when you look at some postings on here and see the weight just drop off people in a short time but most of the time you do not know the full story.

I know my loss is slow but I am OK with that (it took more than 9 months to go on) and I am eating in a normal pattern (just less), eat out and have treats. I have joined a gym and my shape is changing.

When I started this journey I thought it would take me 1 year to lose the weight (100lb) but now I think it will take 15 months.

I find it hard to get all my Water in and I don't think this helps with the rate of loss. Give it one more big push, Protein first the veg then carbs, drink and exercise and see how it goes. Good luck.

Baseballmom, I think I have finally broke my stall! For the past week I have been working out, sometimes twice a day making sure that I burn at least 700 or more calories. I'll go from treadmill to circuit to the elliptical to insanity!!! In addition I'm having a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and fish for dinner and a salad if I have room. Oh and I'm drinking way more Water. I'm now down to 207 hoping to onederland very soon!!! Good luck hope this helps!
