Slow weight loss ( doing something wrong?)

Hey all,

I am 2 weeks out today and have only lost 12 lbs. I am following all the rules and I don't know if there is something else I can do to kick start this weight loss.

Thanks

Lisa

If it makes you feel any better I'm 12 days out and have only lost 5 pounds......I had the lap band so I know the weight loss is not the same but sure wish I had lost 12 by now!!!!!!!  I think your doing GREAT!!!!!! Good luck to you!!!!!

Hi Lisa,

Congratulations on 12 lbs.  What other weight loss plan would give those types of losses!  I think the more you have to lose, the more you drop week over week.  Celebrate the loss and don't worry about how much and how long.  This is a journey that is to last a lifetime, so just sit back and enjoy the ride.  I wish you the best on your journey and congrats again!

I had my surgery January 2nd and I did lose like 30 #s right of the back.Then I stopped and got worried why am I not losing and everyone said I was crazy you just lost 30 # well all week last week I lost nothing and I got on the scale this morning and lost 3 more pounds.What I didn't realize though is I was losing inches.Which I was told was a good thing to because the faster the weight comes off more saggy skin.Everyone is different and I learned that last week.Keep up the great work we are all in this together!

I needed to see this post today. I have been feeling a bit down today when I stepped on the scale. I am down 10 pounds since the 8th. I know I am being irrational and crazy thinking I need to lose more than that in 11 days. I just thought I would be one of those who lost 20 by now.

Hey girl,
Congrats on the 12 lbs lost.  I will weigh in Wed for my two weeks and I am guessing I will be right there with you.

I had surgery Jan 7 and I am down 15 lbs, but the surgeon told me any loss is awesome.  I think it also depends on what type of surgery you had and how much weight you need to lose.  Congrats on the 12 lbs, thats fantastic..KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK.

12 lbs lost is Awesome !! I'm down 10 lbs from surgery. They told me since I wasn't that big I"ll lose it slower !! Any weight loss is a winner !! It will come  ! Keep up the great work !

Really 12 pounds is a lot.  Your BMI is only 33...you can not expect to loose as much weight as someone with a BMI of 50.  Really, you would have not even qualified for surgery at some places.  Being not that big, you have less to lose and it will come off a lot slower.
