Arabesque 7,430 Posted August 26, 2020 You’ve lost 60lbs. This is great. But I know the head games can sabotage your progress & bring your down. It’s not just about the number on the scale. Think about your wins. I bet you’re more active than you were before, have more energy plus being several clothing sizes down. What about improvements to your health & well being? What about things you couldn’t do before but can now. Celebrate these wins. We all have different experiences on this journey. For every fast loser, there will be someone who loses more slowly. Every lb lost is a lb closer to your goal. Do you have a dietician or nutritionalist? It may be worth a conversation to ensure you’re on the best eating plan for you. A tweak to your diet can make a big difference sometimes. You can do this. 3 Jeffmonty, catwoman7 and BayougirlMrsS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted August 26, 2020 60 lbs isn't nothing! I kept losing until I was about 20 months out - you're not even a year out yet. Just keep plugging away at it. And I agree - it may be worth seeing your dietitian if you're worried or if you think you may need to tweak your plan. Although people lose at all different rates due to all different factors. If your starting BMI is lower than the average bariatric patient, for example, you're probably not going to lose as fast or as much as someone who started out at 300+ lbs. As long as the general trend is downward, you're good. 1 summerset reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
