Weight loss, slow

[teshadb 203]

I am 1 month and 8 days post op. I have lost 24 lbs, is that slow????

[Forsythia 882]

Nope. That's good.

No that is not slow. And it wouldn't matter if it was. Don't compare yourself to others, everyone loses differently. If you would like to lose faster, take a look at your food composition. Some people are insulin resistant, especially early out when they are heavier. You may want to drop carbs below 50 grams a day (no more than 20 grams in a meal) to see better results. Many people drop to under 20 grams of carbs a day for best results. Ketogenic diets are very effective.

I am insulin resistant from PCOS. The carbs is a good I idea. I'm going to pay more attention to that.

I am also losing "slow"....or what I think is slow. I finally decided that this weight will come off when it comes off! I am NOT going to be a slave to that stupid scale to give me validation and I am NOT going to have such high expectations that I sabotage myself. It is what it is. THis is a journey in which I have no idea when I will get to the end of the first leg (goal weight). At this point any weight loss is fabulous right? We weren't able to do it before our little friend :-)

Keep up the good work!!!

It doesn't strike me as slow, but I'm not buying the comparisons. We all started at different places w/ our own body hormones, etc. It was interesting what the commentator brought up about Ketogenic diets. I've been avoiding carbs (bread is easy to avoid for me, Pasta is a different story) and I think that may help some. I miss Pasta and I'm waiting for the lack of it to be a habit as they say - it's been over three weeks.

I have the most boring diet, deli meat and cheese. I've tried other stuff and it hurts, but I will say when that happens, I go for another walk and it really helps.
