Ok, I know we should not compare but...

Margie, Well when you put it that way.... I am averaging 18 pounds a month- most diet plans say 1-2 pounds per week which would be 8 a month so 18 is Fantastic!! Thanks for the support! Terri

I know it is not hard to compare... and lets face it... we all want to LOSE LOSE LOSE... as fast as possible, plus we have all those fears of failure..... I mean just think how many times we have failed on a diet.... well.... GOOD NEWS!! You are doing great!!!! keep up the good work... and you are just about normal.... as for me I had surgery the 28th of March and have lost only 55... See, don't you feel better now???

Harolyn, I do feel better , really, and not because I am ahead of you- just because you are all so wonderful and supportive!! Terri

Terri, I had surgery same day as you, and I have only lost 50#s. You are doing a lot better than me.... I haven't lost anything in twelve days. But I know any day now it will start dropping off again, at least I hope it will.. We all lose differently, you are doing great! Good luck on your journey, Karen

Thanks Karen!!! I had not lost any in 10 days and lost 3 yesterday morning so I am sure yours is coming. Terri

Yup, I lost 1# this morning... Karen 274/223 -51 Yippeeeeeeee

63 is awesome! Now I am totally jealous! I had my surgery a couple of weeks before you and the lowest I've been is (-50) Today I'm sitting at (-48) I'm having one of those weeks where no matter what I do for exercise or food, it won't go away... ( I exercise at least 4 days per week, walking anywhere from 2-6 miles at a time) Anyway, keep up the good work, I for one, think you are doing fantastic!

Antonina, My dear, I weigh more now than you started!!! 50 pounds is great !!! Be proud!! Thanks for your support ! Terri

Terri, I went to my 3 month appt last week and my Dr told me that he likes to see us loose 50 in 3 months...you are ahead of that! I have lost 40 since surgery and he was happy with that, he said I must be one of those slower loosers. Like someone else said on this post, you didn't put it on in 3 months so you shouldn't expect it to come off in 3 months. You are doing great! and your new photo goes to show it!! Nancy

Nancy, I know you are right but that failure mentality wins out sometimes. Thanks for noticing the new picture!! Terri
