You have lost a tremendous amount of weight. You are losing as well as everyone else. You may be shaped differently. Like I have really big legs, but I have a totally flat butt (yuck)....so, I lost a lot of fat in my butt and I can wear a size 16. BUT...if I had a nice round booty...I wouldn't be wearing a 16. I have a huge chest, so I can't wear a 14/16 top. So, see we are all proportioned differently. Do not compare with others...focus on your accomplishments because they are wonderful!
I'm so happy to hear about your PCOS improving. I have 2 daughters with PCOS. My oldest is married and even though she was not taking care of herself to improve her situation, she got pregnant anyway. So, there is definitely hope for you. She is due in 2 weeks. She really thought she would never have children and BAM.....she was pregnant. My other daughter says the same thing and I always say...That is what your sister said. I will be a grandmother soon...OMG. WOW.
Anyway, just remember you are doing great and be so very proud of yourself!

I feel I'm losing slowly considered to everyone else. I'm happy with my results. I was wearing 24-26 pants and 3-4 x plus shirts. I'm now wearing size 16 and xl shirt. It's becoming more challenging. I can eat sweets and carbs with no issues but have such a hard time with the protein. I'm at 199 lbs and holding right now. I've lost approx 63 lbs.
You guys are all doing so well keep up the good work.

Congratulations on your loss so far!
Surgery was 04/29/08 for me. I am down 87 lbs. since surgery and 105 lbs. overall. I am a bit discouraged though. Everyone is talking about the fact that they are down to a 14 or 16 already. But me, I was at a 28 on bottom and a 22/24 on top and now I'm only at a 22 on bottom and probably a 14/16 on top. I wonder if I'm not losing as well as everyone else. Strange, huh???
On a good note, I am having regular periods which means I am ovulating!!! WOO HOO! This is a big deal for me since I had PCOS before surgery (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) and didn't ovulate. I can probably have babies when I'm ready! YIPPEE!!!
