Weight loss to slow!!

I am about 6 1/2 months out, and I have lost only 90 lbs. SHould I be losing more? What is the norm? I started out in a size 26( and some 28's) and am now in a 16. thankfully, I am still losing inches. What tricks can I use to speed things up?

Wow you are doing great. I Have lost 82 pounds so far but seem to be stuck for about 4 weeks now. You seem to be above in weight loss. I think exercise and watching the carbs help the most. Keep up the good work your doing wonderful.. Mimi

You are doing fantastic! Dianne

Hi Nicole! You are doing just awesome! I had lap rny on January 10, 2005 and have lost 79 pounds. So you are way ahead of me. They say everyone loses at a different rate and also sometimes your starting weight might determine how quickly you will lose depending on how much you need to lose. I started at 261 pounds, I'm currently l82 pounds, and my goal is somewhere between 115-120 pounds. I'm also only 5 feet tall. Don't worry you are doing just great! Have an awesome week! Aloha, Pat 261/182/goal 115-120

I am at 77 with having so far about 4 stalls (no plateaus thank god) but according to my dietrician I am right on schedule so if I am on track then you are doing real well. I would not be concerned if I were you. I think we all would like to see it come off the first 3 months but different people do different things. Good luck!

You are doing so great! 90 lbs. is a lot of weight to lose! If you had done that pre surgery wouldn't you have just freaked out! So don't worry...you're right on schedule! We are almost at the same spot. Anytime you think it's not a lot go out and strap on 90 pounds of rocks and walk around for a while...that'll put it into perspective!!

I too am 61/2 months out and have lost 95 lbs, and am also wanting it to come off faster, but we are doing great. I have 50 more lbs to go, and am giving myself til Christmas. GOOD LUCK!!!!
