Carlotta1 401 Posted February 16, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) 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 "God Grant Me Patience, Just Hurry Up About It" kathy congrats Edited February 16, 2014 by proudgrammy 1 DestinClair1983 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HHHappy 225 Posted February 16, 2014 50 lbs in 5 months. That will be 100 lbs in 10 months. I would say that is FANTASTIC!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ccjll 177 Posted February 16, 2014 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! 2 DestinClair1983 and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bosslady14 0 Posted February 16, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
