Topic: Very Odd Shopping Experience
I had a very odd shopping experience today. I'm in an (from 24) 18 pants but hadn't bought any shirts except one 14/16 shirt so I decided to buy a few. I went to the woman's dept of Kohls and picked up a 1X shirt. It looked like a tent. I stood there for about two solid minutes. I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHERE TO BUY MY SIZE. I honestly did not know what dept was the next size down!! I've shopping womans since about 13.
Misses was next door, so I walked over there. Surely I'm not a misses? That just sounds so small. I picked up some XL and went to the dressing room. Crazy, they fit perfectly and were not even close to being tight. This is insanity. I'm not dropping that many lbs but I've gone down some sizes.
My ds amazes me every day. It was a very odd feeling.

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.

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!!!
Topic: RE: i feel like a slow loser

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 ;-).

Way to go girl. Some people are just idiots. Remember that. Only you and your body know where you need to be. Keep at it! Screw them. They're just jealous. Keep up the good work.
Topic: RE: i feel like a slow loser
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! :)
Topic: RE: i feel like a slow loser
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?
Topic: 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:(
