ISleevedIt 380 Posted March 18, 2013 You're not doing anything wrong unless you're not following your dr/nut's instructions. on average, you're losing over 4 lbs a week! I think that's fantastic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coops 1,790 Posted March 18, 2013 Wrong? Your weight loss is superb! My only suggestion would to stop comparing yourself to others, so what if they've lost more... Who cares! Just compare yourself to you and what makes you happy and healthy! Keep doing what you are doing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giggles232000 56 Posted March 18, 2013 yeah I am doing what I am told and I know we all lose diff and I am happy w/the 56 just was thinking it would be more for how big I started out at, I feel so much better and I did my first 5k Sat so I am very very happy, just hard when you see others that in less time have done more, I feel like I am kicking my butt I do about 4 miles aday on the treadmill and can only eat like 600-900 cal a day, as I can only eat like 3 or 4 bites of stuff at a time, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pelekania 156 Posted March 18, 2013 You are doing great! Try not to compare yourself with othetrs because it can be a real ego killer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patienlywtng on my Curves 73 Posted March 18, 2013 I know my issue is not getting all of my liquids in. If you are following your Surgeon's instructions, then you are doing a fantastic job. Everyone has their own course and you are doing fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynnette 2 Posted March 18, 2013 I am on week 8 & only down 18 lbs. Havent lost a pound in 3 weeks. I am so discouraged. Counting calories and I am amazed at how fast I can get to 1000 calories! Yikes! Trying to make healthy choices but the exercise issue is still an issue. I feel like I just threw away a ton of money on nothing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LindaS 316 Posted March 19, 2013 How does this time compare to other times you've tried to lose weight? How many pounds lost are you averaging in a week? 4.5 pounds a week. That's awesome. Don't get discouraged -- find other things to compare your loss to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
