Lisha73 97 Posted May 21, 2013 I would say that is a great accomplishment! 61 lbs is a great loss...everyone is different and will lose differently....but you wouldnt have lost that if you hadnt made the choice for surgery....CONGRATS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vegasneon 181 Posted May 21, 2013 If you were me- looking at you- you would think 61 lbs since Jan was so freakin' awesome. When it's yourself going through it you think it isn't going fast enough, but it is. Congratulations- just keep doing what you are suppossed to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orthoman 114 Posted May 24, 2013 People that start off at a higher bmi are going to lose at a much higher rate because their daily caloric deficit is going to be much higher at first. I started at a bmi of 38 on December 28. I'm now nearly five months in and I've lost 50 pounds and my bmi is 31. So losing more than 7 points of bmi in five months I'm very happy with that... As long as I keep losing... When people talk about how much weight they've lost over a specific time frame, that number can only make sense if you know their starting BMI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are not a slow loser you are doing great. I truly am a slow loser it took me 6 months to lose 28 Kg I am still within normal range according to my doctor but slower than a lot of people here on the forum. I am 10 Kg away from normal BMI. I wanted to add my starting bmi was 39.9 and it is now 28. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
