Kind of bummed with this months weight loss



Recommended Posts

Don't get me wrong, I realize I have lost weight but this month has kind of sucked in terms of weight loss. The first two months(November to December) I lost a total of 45 pounds, then the third( December to January) month I lost 12 pounds, then 7(January to February) pounds and this month(February to March) has only been 6 pounds. I'm scared that my weight loss is going to stop..... I still have a long way to go and this is starting to feel like not going to happen at all. Most days (probably 98%) I am on plan, get my Protein, Water, etc. There have been a few times where I have had a bite of birthday cake or an onion ring. But these are very few and far between.

You're fine. You are doing great. Just keep working the plan and exercise. The further out you get, the less you will lose each month. You've done great so far!! Focus on how your clothes feel, take pictures and measure your body. The number on the scale is a VERY small part of the picture.

Please do not be discouraged. Look at your overall weight loss! That's incredible!! You should feel really good. i understand your concern, but lets look at it like this..Suppose you only lost 6 pounds a month for the next 6 mo. That would be 36 more pounds!! Dwell on the good and remember, the pounds lost is just a number on the scale. It doesn't reflect inches, behavior changes, making wise and healthier choices, loose clothing, compliments, how much better you feel, etc... Stay positive and hang in there. I think you are doing awesome!! Focus on your Non-scale victories! Keep up the great work :D

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
