Friday Weigh-In!

[Panda 354]

I haven't done the weekly weigh in but have lost 9.4kgs (20.7lbs) since I started this journey four weeks ago. And 6kgs (13.22lbs) since my op on May 8th. Weight is moving slowly' date='.... It feels like but still going down. Still got a way to go yet but excited about the changes.[/quote']

6 1/2 lbs a week is what you've lost. That's an excellent start . Not slow at all. Sometimes since we have had surgery we get unrealistic expectations...you probably still have some swelling since your only 2 weeks out. A slow steady pace gives your skin time to tighten up with you also. My Dr told me not to get caught up in comparing yourself to everyone else's weight loss because a lot of variables are at play that we may not know about. Such as height and starting weight...as well as BMI and length of time you've been over weight....for instance I've weighed over 200 lbs since the 6th grade....so my pace has been slow (comparably) but steady, but my body has been storing and holding in to this fat for 30+ years! Even when I played basketball and tennis in high school and college I was still ALWAYS a big girl no matter how hard I worked out or trained! 2 months 3 days out I'm only down 43 lbs. That's about 21 lbs a month. My goal is only 12 lbs a month to reach the 144 lbs that I want to lose within a year of surgery. So set realistic goals and you won't feel like its slow

By the way good job hun! You are doing great!

It seems like I'm losing about 5 pounds a week, which I am pretty satisfied with. I'm hoping to amp it up a bit because now I'm walking two and a half miles a day 4 days a week and maybe a half mile the other days. I gotta get in shape to get back to work!

The really awesome news is I tried on my work uniforms yesterday. I had been squeezing into them busting seams and popping buttons for about two years...they slipped on effortlessly! They might even be too big when I go back to work in two and a half weeks!

Super stoked!!!!

So frustrated....the scale has not changed in 2 weeks & I was losing 5-7 lbs per week & then it just stopped! I dont get it because I feel better in my clothes & people are telling me they see more & more of a difference.
