As another liteweight, your loss is supposed to be slower. Percentage wise we lose the same are the others but ours will be slower. Don't beat up on yourself or get discouraged. Hannah

Um, I'm losing a lot slower than you are. 30 pounds in 11 weeks. That's about half of what you've lost. I'm really discouraged. Too much pain for this result.

HI Judy, Don't get discouraged. I lost 50 lbs so are and it's 3 months today for me. I think the amount you loose depends on your starting weight. If you are heavier you may loose quickly at first than as you get to a lower weight you loose slower. I was considered a "light weight" at 260. so at 210 now, I am happy with my weight loss. Be happy your loosing and not gaining.even 5 lbs off is better than a 5 lb gain. Though I know wouldn't it be great if you woke up one day and all that excess weight was gone.

but, unfortunately it does take some time.

so good luck with your journey , I'm sue you'll do great.

~ Mary

Hello there June losers!! My surgery was lap on June 3. Starting weight 303. Current weight 231.5 Total loss of 71.5 lbs!! Woohooo!! Had a 5mm stricture, and went almost three weeks with no solid foods. Lost nothng all that time. Just started to lose again this week, and am feeling so much better to see the scale move again! Honestly, no serous exercise yet. I walk when I can, but we are in the process of a major move, and have been busy, busy, busy! Would love to be under 200 for the holidays!!! I can not EVER remember being under 200 lbs. The day I hit 199, will be like hitting the lotto for me!! Great job everyone!! Really great to see all of your results! Hugs, Ang
