My 6 month totals lost each month

[Success2013 186]

I just had my 6 month surgiversary. Didn't reach the goal I had planned for at 6 months, but I'm still extremely grateful to be down 52 pounds. I know I would never be here without the surgery. I want to lose at least 35 more pounds.

I think you are doing a good job. i was sleeved the week after you 01/31/13. I am down 44.2 lbs. since surgery, 61.7 total. I am 5'5" and 56 (almost 57) years old. I hear your frustration and I am there with you. I thought I would lose quicker than I am. You know the saying though, we didn't gain it overnight and we aren't going to lose it overnight either. I keep saying to myself keep on plugging, you will get there.

You are doing great!Congratulations on the loss. The closer you are to goal the harder to get the pounds to come off I also have about 30 something pounds to go and it is difficult lately to lose more than a pound a week. Just stick to the basics 70 Protein, 64 Water , exercise and it will be gone eventually

I'm not losing very fast either. Lost 15 before surgery and 7 in the 2 months after. I'm only eating about 600 cal a day. Drink lots of Water and walk 1mile every other day. I will walk more as my arthritis and fibro will allow.
