I have had meetings all morning so no water or snack. It's almost lunch time and I am starving.
I have been getting actual hunger laterly. This is a rare thing for me but seems to be happening more frequently. Anyone else?

Hi Laura,
I am pretty discouraged too because I think I am the only one who is 1 year out and haven't lost a 100lbs. There are some people who are only 6 months out and have already lost more than I have. I know I shouldn't complain I have lost 85 but because I'm so short( 4'11" o.k. really 4'10") My weight at the most should be about 120-125 lbs. I'm still flucuating between 165 and 168 and have been there since February so I am definetly on a plateau and I wonder has my body stopped for good? My own personal goal is 150 my doc really didn't set a goal for me. I know I will get there eventually but I kinda want it now.

ok well here is the deal no i am not happy with were i am at all ...I am at 215ish .. and i want to be 180 i think my doc is right around 170-180 for me ...So i am talking about my goal that i am so far away from in my mind ....i also am 5"10 and i am big framed so i know once i am down to 180 i will be super happy hell right now i would be super happy to be at 199 mabey it is just taking longer to get to the smaller goals or something but it is nice to know that i am not alone in a way
Thanks

Heya Laura...
For one you are absolutely gorgeous.... I am a year out tomorrow.. My starting weight was 370, I have lost 190.. So I am at 180... The doctor said the weight he wanted me at was about 160, 175 before plastics, mind you I am 5'11... I can defnitely see that my weight loss is slowing down but I am still losing... I just keep thinking to myself the more I lose before plastic surgery the better the results... My goal weight is 160...You are doing fantastic sweetie....Adn look you have all of us out here in OH world to talk to
Hugssss
Have a wonderful day...

I still have 50 to go. I've lost 84 so far. I was feeling pretty discouraged. Just yesterday we finally got the pictures back from my sisters wedding this past October (took FOREVER!) and I look soooo different and I was only 20 pounds heavier than I am now.
Still losing inches, but am so frustrated with the slow loss. Wish I could kick things into gear!
Topic: RE: Question for some people
I guess it depends on how you look at it ... My Dr.'s goal was 180 for me ~ my goal was 170 ... but according to the charts I should be 140.
I am happy here at 170 ... but my body is still losing, so I will probably continue to wor****il it stops ... so technically I need to lose another 30# to be in the "Safe" zone, or the "Normal" range for my height (5'4")
So it is all relative to how you look at it ... Are you below your Dr.'s goal? How did you get your goal? Are you happy where you are - or do you feel you need to still lose more?
You look AWESOME by the way ....

318/170/ AT MY GOAL
