Don't spend your time about "how fast" ...think about how u are making progress towards up your healthily weight goal and after that maintaining your weight loss the rest of your life.. This is not a race to the finish line..but a journey that will last a lifetime to bring healthily and full of energy. I am not dropping weight by the loads.. As a matter fact I prefer not to lose too quickly so that my body can adjust at a new weight. And i think it will also help to keep the weight off since we had more time to make lifestyle changes...

Another key to your success is consistent exercising. Not leisure walking but putting it into gear to get your body healthier..cardio and strength. I started exercising 6 weeks after I had my surgery and it really helped with dropping more pounds. I was at a stall and the exercise helped with that.

So my message to you is be happy what u have accomplished. And more is to come, in time.

308 - now 256. disappointed I'm not losing faster. what am i doing wrong

bosslady14

i doubt you are doing anything wrong

u look like a smart cookie

i bet you are following all the rules

watching your calories, carbs

eating slowly, measuring

protein first

not drinking about 1/2 hr before meal

not drinking w/meals

not drinking for up to 1 hr after you eat

drinking at least 64 oz

the only thing we have in common is that we're all different!!!!!

people lose different amounts of weight in all types of time periods

weird things can happen when "we" get discouraged (eating)

Knock it Off!!

you are doing great

52 lbs - down, down, and down, FLUSH

keep up the good job

50 lbs in 5 months. That will be 100 lbs in 10 months. I would say that is FANTASTIC!!!

Hi BossLady14... I think that is phenomenal weight loss - oh how I wish I was losing 10lbs a month... i'm more at 7 lbs per month and I'm just about at my 4 month bandiversary. Be careful here because the "experts" will start lecturing - but to bring it all into light and from someone who really knows how disappointing it is to get on the scale - it DOES take a long time! But any pound lost is something to be excited about, sure it would be fantastic to blink and 10 lbs lost in a week. That just is NOT reality and blah blah blah - I understand the disappointment - so I just want to give you a wink and say I completely UNDERSTAND!

Thanks for the encouragement. I thought it was good and I prefer to lose slowly but my doctor says it's too slow and questions my choices
