3 Months, 42 Pounds and going SLLOOWWWW!

[VSGKasey 34]

So I seem to be losing 10 pounds a month (including my preop diet). I started at 240, so not too terribly high, but I'm out three full months now and only down 42 pounds. I need to be down another 18 pounds by the end of september to be ready for my breast reduction/lift and I'm so nervous! I have been running 3-9 miles a week trying to push it so hard but the slowing down is killing me. I'm trying to remember that it's not just weight, but measurements and muscle. I lost 6 inches in my waist last month so i know I'm shifting weight to muscle, but it's hard not to feel discouraged.

I was sleeved 6 weeks ago and lost 30lbs. Congrats to us, but I have a question what do u eat on a daily basis I feel like I'm not doing well and what exercise and Vitamins you take?

I ws sleeved 5/15 and down 38 lbs.

I sometimes wonder if my lost amount is low or just right. I am not having any problems.

I started around 240

I think 10pounds a month is fine. That's what I've been averaging. It's frustrating to see people doing more, but it is what it is, I'm losing and not gaining. The office says I should average 1-2 pounds per week and I'm doing that and then some.

I think if you keep doing what you're doing then it's reasonable to lose almost 18 pounds then by the end of September.

Usually an egg prepared whichever way or cottage cheese for Breakfast along with my Syntax nectar Protein Drinks (24 grams for 100 cal). Mini baby bel lights for Snacks. chicken or some other Protein for lunch, maybe with a small salad or some other veggies, and similar for dinner. Fairly few carbs, goal is to hit 60 grams of protein a day which I track on myfitnesspal

Yes that's definitely true for me too. I'm very good during the week but on the weekends I'll have a treat here and there. I do workout about 3-4 hours a week including running 3 miles and hour long dance classes but I hope just pushing through will help. . Gotta slap myself on the wrist and get back on track.
