Rate of Loss. 6 Month Weight Loss Metrics For Info/Comparison



Recommended Posts

Seeing as most of your taste sensors are in your nose - you should have something to compare it with! Surely?! As for the super-duper loss.. What's their BMI? I'm starting to overlook the numbers now and am straight away eyeing the BMI at the milestone marks. Fascinating..... And get out from under your covers and go and eat some Protein :D I am.. I have BBQ ribs in the oven. That will be my second dinner. I have worms today. Eating like a proverbial pig :blink:

Her stats are nearly identical to mine!

I am pretty sure I hate her.

I feel ashamed about that, but whatever.

I'm going to eat, alright! About how many calories are you eating per day? Maybe that's key?

And, I LOL'ed at your worms.

I don't love my journey today. My journey can bite me.

At my 6 month mark, I had lost 67.6 pounds not including my pre-op loss. Seems to me you are right on. If it's making you want to eat poo and hide in a hidey-hole, stop comparing yourself to others. She's probably fibbing anyways. :D

I am usually the first to NOT compare, but, I DID! I compared!! I admit it! I got sucked into the comparing comparisons!

And to further my anguish, at this point in the game, you were almost 20lbs ahead of me!

S**t, I compared again.

Getting back in my hidey hole.

I was also almost 30 pounds heavier and 4 inches shorter. I was MUCH MUCH fatter and rounder so yup, I lost a wee bit faster. But just a wee.

Dude! Look at your BMI! What is HER BMI?

You're at 28 at 5.5 months. Lipstick is at 27.5 after 10 months (that's not a criticism, btw, darling).

Its all relative. Relative to us.

I am going to definitely start ignoring the pounds and seriously start focussing on the BMI.

I think in that way the truth lies....

That is my thought for the day :blink:

Ok. Going to try BMI watching instead! That was a push in the right direction! So, we are NOT sad! We are focused and positive!

Thanks you!

Darling, I am sure you've had your share of 'woe is me moments', give me a little break, we needed encouragement!

Ps: when I compare, sometimes I'M ahead, so, yeah, I won't fail EVERY time!

Just kidding! I don't give a flying fig about BMI!! HAHAHAAA! My NUT thinks it's as much crap as I do so... I am denouncing BMI and the number on the scale. I care the most about the number in my pants. I want a size 4/6. :D

oh this was a good post I needed the laugh and the realness of it all.

Longtime coming, I get the comparision thing we are all human an sometimes do it.. Sheeze I had a friend who was pregnant compare herself to me and my wieght loss. Seriously, it hurt. I was like you gave birth to a child and all i did was loose fat, Really? But she found me to be a treat for a bit and I just stayed away for a while. Now with that said it is easy to compare but there are ladies on this site who would kill for your hair, just sayin" And weight loss too. ;)

When I get to goal I hope and pray my bmi will be healthy and my arms will have dents in them.. Ohhhhh ya and lets not forget the thighs to be skinner.

Hey Madam How Am i doing stats wise? starting 240 now 192 10 wks out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
