60 pounds :(

[Suko75 10]

I have only lost 60 pounds in 6 months and I feel I am quite slow compared to others any advise ? I don't exercise and I eat small bites every hour ?

Wo really? I think that's amazing and you should remove the only.

You can't compare yourself to others.

I hope in 6 months I can say I've lost 60 pounds

I try to walk every day and am 10 days post op.

I started puréed this week and needle has not moved. I expected this. Just a little sad though

Hope I am at 60 by 6 months

60 pounds is quite an achievement! If you are concerned you are eating too much, log and weight what you do eat and see if it totals what has been recommended by your NUT. Exercise will also help.

First, 60 lbs is amazing regardless of how long it took to lose it. Second, eating a few bites every hour could lead to overeating. I suggest using a calorie tracker (myfitnesspal). And, exercise. Everyday. Start with walking and then find something else you enjoy- swimming, hiking, running, cycling, fitness classes, etc. You're going to have to make some changes if you want the weight to keep dropping. The surgery has done it's job if you've lost 60lbs and only eat a few bites at a time, but now you need to do your part.

Wow ! 60 lbs., that is great !!!!!!!! Don't be hard on yourself and congrats. Exercise is key, try to walk briskly every day, if not, do every other day. Walking saves me, and has so many benefits. You will see the scales move with additional exercise of any kind..... Good luck.

I am 10 months out and I have lost 82 pounds...so, not much more than you! It's just a process. I will hopefully be very close to goal by my 1 year surgiversary and hopefully you will be to. I just have to remind myself that it's a marathon and not a sprint and everyday you get closer to the new person that you're going to become! Good luck!

60 lbs in 6 months is 10 lbs a month so about 2.5 lbs a week. That's not bad at all. I would try not to compare yourself to other people, and just know that (in a very, very short period of time) you will reach goal and look great.

60 lbs! That's 10 lbs a month. In all my years of dieting and with weight watchers I never managed that consistency. Our sleeves our doing their job as a tool to help us lose the weight at a healthy rate. You are rockin' this. Keep up the great work
