I know how you feel. Seems like everyone has flown by me...but I am very healthy, happy, running, cross-fitting and really sometimes wonder if I had surgery at all - no food intolerances and my doc told me to STOP taking vitamins because my levels are too HIGH! I still have 20lbs to goal...not sure I will ever see it...but the gift I have been given is a whole new lifestyle - and I love it!

I answered loserT's post a minute ago. Like I said on that one I am 40 pounds over the chart weight but my doctor is very happy and says my general build allows for the extra poundage. We aren't all the same and don't all match the "perfect" example on the charts.

I suspect that your weight loss seems slow to you because you are focused on a goal number. That's really common. But a weight loss of about 10 lb. a month is NOT slow. Not by any means. It sounds like you are really doing great. Please understand that your body has been going through some incredible changes and adjustments as you have lost weight. It's really normal to have weight loss slow down of even stop periodically on your way to goal weight. So don't be discouraged or beat yourself up. You are just normal. :)

Glad you checked in!! Congrats on the 100 lb mark!! That is wonderful!

Yes, we all lose differently, and that's just our bodies, and all of that!

Boo

Glad to hear from you! Healthy is the goal and 100lbs down is awesome! I measure my loss from my highest weight which was actually a few years before surgery. After all, those years were still part of my journey, just not particularly effective. So many things play into our weight loss rates. Keep on track and you will remain healthy!!!

Please try not to compare you loss with others, yes, easier said than done!
Remember we all have different journeys and are unique!
100 lbs is something to be very proud of, and think of the inches that went along with it!
You are an inspiration! How many of us can say we work out like you do? It's incredible!
Don't give up, you've come too far!
Try not to judge by the number on the scale, instead go with how you feel and all you are now able to do!!

Sweetheart, 100 lbs in ten months is AMAZING. It's different for everyone; our own personal metabolisms, age, etc but honey, that is SUPERB. And yes, I definitely agree with farmgirl392; when you have a goal, you're BURNING to get there and nothing makes it go by fast enough. But trust me, 100 lbs in 10 months? Wonderful!

Thanks all. I am a great cheerleader for others, I just lose sight of the goal sometimes. It is MY journey and thus far I am pleased, the green monster does raise her ugly head at times and I compare to others.

Hello there!! For me... sometime I am so focused on where I'm not yet at that I forget how far I've come. I have to stop and remind myself that even if I never lose another pound... it's been worth it! Congrats on your 100 lb loss! I don't know about you, but I didn't 4 years trying HARD to lose wt before surgery... 4 + years, and ended up heavier than when I started.... so 100 lbs is AMAZING!

I've been "stuck" at my 125 loss for 2 years. I've been a good girl about protein, water, low to no carbs, and my doctor says I'm doing well keeping it all off that long. She says I can consider this a successful program.

With that said, I'm still overweight, and would feel better if I lost another 50-75 lbs. Doc says that would be closer to "ideal weight" for me, but at 54 with mobility issues, am unlikely to reach it.

I've been working on intentional gratitude for my improved health and the benefits I've recieved, and just as I was getting closer to OK with what I've done, I found I'd lost another 10 lbs!!! Go figure. I suspect our bodies have a little more say about setting times to cooperate and stuff than we give them credit for.

Anyway, thanks for sharing and don't give up. 100 lbs in only 10 months is great progress. Follow your program, and your body will lead the way.

Good to see you again!
