Jessie, I probably weighed more than you. I started out at 330 pounds. I've heard people who start out heavier lose faster in the beginning. Don't be discouraged! I'm just so happy to be losing anything at all!

Thanks Josh! :-)

Try only to weigh in weekly. Urban helps with the up/down/back/forth

I only weigh once a week, on the same scale, in my underwear. Lol!

Your weight loss sounds great! But try not to compare yourself to other people. There's no winning in that game.

I started at almost the same weight, I think everyone's body is different. Some people loose quicker than others. I am almost two weeks out and I am down to 298. Are you still on full liquids? I am having such a hard time on the diet =(

No, I can eat just about anything now. I'm careful when trying something new I like to be at home just in case it makes me sick.

Definitely--comparing ourselves to others can be so self-defeating. This adventure is so much about keeping ourselves positive and keeping it FUN! It's like the old saying--"comparing apples and oranges"-- it's not accurate and serves no purpose except making us feel bad if it "looks like" someone else is losing faster.

And--there is absolutely NO comparison between how guys and gals lose. Guys generally lose more/quicker 'cuz they're not built to be the ones who bring all those little bundles of joy into the world . . .
