i feel like a slow loser

so tomorrow will be 8 weeks since surgery and i have only lost 41 lbs. am i broken. i have a  lot of weight to go my bmi is still over 50, i feel kinda frustrated. i have been riding my bike or doing the elliptical on most days i don't work and on days i work i run around like a nut for 112 hours. i just feel like i am the slowest looser on the planet:(

That is over 5 lbs a week? What were you expecting? I would say anything over 2 lbs a week is super fast. How much did you expect to lose in 8 weeks?

I had my surgery a week before you and am only down 40lbs now.. average healthy losing is only 2-3lbs a week. 41lbs in 8 weeks is greeeat! congrats! Chin up! :) celebrate your 41lbs and more to come! :)

i guess i need to stop looking at other peoples tickers it has been really discouraging. plus i am having a bad day today breakfast did not sit well and i have felt like poop all day so between that and other people i am just bummed, i need to just be happy with my success so far. thanks for the support guys...you rock

I'm also a slow looser although I have to admit you are loosing faster then I am. You may want to consider measuring yourself once a week. This helps me see some results even though the weight scale is being stuburn ;-).

I sometimes feel the same when I see how much others have lost in the same timeframe.  I'm 8 weeks out and have lost 39 lbs.  But then I think to myself...when was the last time I lost 39 lbs and that helps me stop beating up on myself.  We'll get there together!!!

i quit looking at & posting tickers, its great to see sucsess, but it  can also be discouraging. i also got rid of the scale. i only weigh in when i go see my dietician every month. so when i do go..its bigger numbers..lol. my body fluctuates so much i don't like the ups and downs. so its better if i just do it once and a while and see the ups, and not so much the downs. and i look at the big picture now..i did 40lbs in 2 months, which if i keep at the same rate means 80lbs in 4 months! heck yes!! (hopefully) any loss is better then a gain! even if i managed to lose 2lbs a week, thats still 50-ish pounds in 6 months, 100lbs a year.. i can live with that. before i was gaining weight by the year and not a healthy amount.

Noooo you are NOT the slowest looser....I AM lol...I know how you feel and was just thinking the same thing.  We are doing fantastic! Hang in there and throw out that darn scale! It will make ya crazy.

Sorry but you are NOT the slowest loser  I am 9weeks out and have not hit 30lbs yet. I record all my food and am good about protein 50-60gms and calories 700-800 as per my Dr.  I work out 5times a week doing elliptical for an hour and weights and resistance twice a week.
At least I am not gaining and I am off some BP med and now off Cholestrol med also.  I try not to fixate on the scale but look at all the health benefits.  You are doing great keep it up. I am impressed.

Let us celebrate our 8 weeks post op and whatever amt we have lost - WE HAVE LOST!!!!  I have read and heard to make sure you measure yourself along this journey.  I bet you are losing inches big time.  I also have lost 41 lbs at this point.  So you are not alone as you are finding out.  Good Job and congrats to all of us for losing.
