19 lbs so far and i have stalled twice already. I am worried that if my weight loss is this slow i will never meet my goal weight.

You can't compare your rate of weight loss to others...

What was your starting weight? Typically, the lower your starting weight, the slower your rate of weight loss is.

I had also lost about 19 pounds at 6 weeks out. With the exception of the first 2 months, all of my monthly losses had been single digit (1 to 7 pounds a month).

It took me 17 months to lose 100 pounds. Although I was a slow loser, I'm dancing on a cloud because this is the first realistic chance I have of keeping the weight off.

You see, it doesn't matter how rapidly or slowly you lose. What really matters is keeping it off for life. What's the point of losing 30+ pounds a month like a house on fire, only to regain a couple of years from now?

Good luck to you.

We all lose at different speeds, because we are all different. Even if our heights and weights are the same, our body compositions might be drastically different. Without knowing your weight, height, or what you are eating, I can't offer any suggestions to you. Just stick to your plan, and eventually, you will get to where you want to be.

Good luck to you.

My losses have been slower than what I've seen with most other people, and it has not been consistent. I lost 17lbs the first month and every month after that has been 4-8lbs/month. It's frustrating, but I decided I'm just going to work past the frustration and Celebrate anything that isn't a gain, because it's a step towards better health. It's not easy, but every lb counts and they do add up. Stay focused on your journey and celebrate the small wins!
