52 pounds in 3 months is slow?

Give me a break.

Yeah I don't think 52 pounds in 3 months is slow by any standard. Just keep following the program.

That's 4.3 pounds per week. I know it's easy to compare yourself to others but you need to try and find some perspective. 52 pounds in 12 weeks is a lot of weight.

If you gained 52 lbs in just 3 months you wouldn't consider yourself a slow gainer, or consider that to be healthy change to your metabolism.

This is a marathon, not a 500 yard dash. Long term success depends on you staying with the program in the long term and making healthy choices. It sounds like you are doing great.

My wife only has about 50 lbs to lose, she fully expects it take about a year.

Here. Take a look at this chart and you will feel much better about how you're doing.

Thank you everyone. For some reason I thought the weight loss should be faster. Thank you for the chart. That helps a lot.

I'm with the other posters, 52 pounds is a LOT in 3 months. What where your expectations???

Even your pics are dramatically different. I would never have guessed just 3 months.

If you have unrealistic goals (I think feeling 52 pounds in 3 months is slow is a little unrealistic), I'm afraid you will be setting yourself up for major disappointment.

Keep up the good work, and don't be so hard on yourself.

Thank you. I'm not sure what I expected. I also have a bad habit of weighing myself right before I go to bed and first thing in the morning. I may need to throw out my scale.

Only 52 pounds? That's over half a pound a day! Those 100 pound weight losses in 2-3 months you see on TV are people who started out @500+ pounds. Lots of that weight is retained Water. We started out at about the same weight and I have lost 15 pounds in 14 days. I am thrilled. If I am down to 222 on 1/25/17 I'm going to reward myself with a ridiculously expensive indulgence!

I too feel like I haven't lost enough weight I'm 3 months out too and have only lost 47 lbs.
