Average Monthly Loss??????

Gosh, Va, you look fabulous. Keep us posted about your visit with the PA, ok? Maureen

I'vw averaged 12.5 a month for the last 9 months, but that includes 2 almost 2 and a half months with no weight loss. THANK GOD that by his grace the scales are moving again!! -Sherrie

I'm so glad that the scales are on the move again for you!!! Keep on keeping on! Joy

My loss is "only" 8 lbs / month average, but I have pretty much stopped at about 140. I had less to lose than some of you--at some times I wondered if, because of that, I would lose too much and get malnourished. But it seems that my body knows best and is slowing down. I don't think I have stopped, but I am extremely happy. Everyone comments favorably--say I look like a teenager. Maybe they mean that I am not dressing my age, but truthfully, I have not felt this young in a long time! And I did dye my graying hair RED! I had given up on searching for a better job, figuring I was too old and tired for anyone to want me, but I have a new body and a new attitude--and two job interviews coming up. Life is good...

I started @ 251...now 168 = 83 ..which puts me @ 9.22/month.. I'm now getting depressed because I've only lost 8 pounds within the last 3 months. Ms P

I'm terrible at number crunching but, like Elizabeth, if I subtract my current weight (194) from weight at time of surgery (332) I get a total loss of 138 lbs. Divide that by 8 (months) and I get an average monthly loss of 17.25 lbs. HOWEVER, in tracking my monthly weight loss, I am only losing between 6-9 lbs. a month now -- and that is sure to continue to slow down -- I believe I've only lost 7 lbs. so far this month but will wait until the 8th (surgery anniversary) to get final monthly (the 8th to the 8th) loss this month.

It hs been 8 months for me and I have lost 250 pounds so that makes my average monthly loss 31.25 pounds.

Okay started at 250... down to about 159/160 lbs. I have not lost anything in a month. But I have noticed that I am gaining muscle do to my workouts and the high protein diet. so I'm down 90 lbs. I could of never done this any other way ( and believe me I tried). Now if i lived and breathed dieting, working out, etc... I would probably weigh alot less but live isn't like that I have to work (during this next month) 12 hrs days and weekends. So I think stress and not so good goodies around the office are keeping my weight were it's at.
