Finally down fifty pounds!

Thank you for the reply. It is nice to know that I am not alone. Jan B

Hi Jan, I gained 1 lb prior to surgery and to date have lost 91 lbs. I am really bad because I don't exercise at all. Are you getting enough protein in? I know once I started stating in more protein via protein powder my weight started coming off again. I still think your weight loss is awesome and don't feel like it isn't. Look at a lb of butter and just think of all those lbs of butter that are no longer on your 'butter' Good luck! Deborah W. 298/207/170

Thank you for the reply. I get about fifty grams of protein in per day. My doctor does not allow protein drinks only real food. Jan B

Jan, Congratulations on your weight loss! 50 pounds gone is 50 pounds gone, When you look back on this in a year or two, a few months isn't going to make a difference. Our stories are so close. I started at 285 and the day of my surgery, I weighed 261. I am also a slow loser. I just got off a 2week plateau where I sat at 205. Just yesterday I finally made it to the onderfuls. Today I weighed in at 198. I sometimes get discouraged when I see others post their 100+ weight loss. I know I will eventually get there, so I'm happy. I know that I couldn't have ever gotten this far without the surgery. Good luck to you and keep up the good work, Suzanne

Thank you for the reply. I took a peek at your profile, and in your photos you already look 10 years younger. Jan B

Why thank you. I feel good too. I've lost a little more than my 8 year old son weighs. That is a good visual for me. No wonder I had trouble walking up stairs. I can't imagine carrying him up the stairs... I don't carry him at all.... HE'S TOO HEAVY!!!

50 lbs in 5 months is NOT slow!! I know - some people on here are losing gangbusters!! But don't compare yourself to others. You are losing at a very good and healthy pace. It's not slow at all!! At least you are losing! 50 lbs is GREAT!! I remember when I hit 50 lbs gone - it's like one hurdle and goal that I accomplished!!! You'll be under 200 very soon!! Hang in there. You are doing great!!! Trisha -95 lbs
