-2 lbs in one month...ugh!

Okay, shouldn't be complaining, at least the scale is moving downward, but come on 2 lbs in a month! I guess I was due. I saw my doctor today and the nurse commented that I had only lost 2 lbs this month. Dr. Simon didn't seem concerned especially since I'm doing some exercise now. He even told me that another 15 lbs would put me where he'd like to see me. Heck, I want to lose at least another 27 lbs. We'll see. At any rate, I will just keep following the rules and know that I've already come a long way in such a short period of time. Thanks all for listening. Time to go to support group. Love, Debra

HI debra im having an awful bad month too of course mine goes till the first ....(how i count) and so far i am only down 3 lbs this month,. ITS frustrating! I doo am getting nearer the surgeons goal but i want to loose maybe a few more. We can omly make right choices and hope for the best lisa

I'm tired of making the "right" choices and having these results... I want RESULTS... I need help, I want to eat less and I eat more... and this NOT making me happy. I need to consume less calories.... heck if I could have done that consistently PRIOR to surgery I would have NEEDED the surgery. calories in - calories used = gain or loss That simple. I consume too much and it is all up to me to reduce what goes in my mouth. I want a stronger tool. I don't care what anybody says. What on earth is goign to happen to me at 3-5 years out past RNY? ???? :-0

I know how you feel. I have lost a little more than you 6-7 lbs this past month but I want more. I will get the official loss tomorrow when I go to the doctor to weigh in. The weather here has been so cold and I have not been able to get out and walk or ride my bike for a while so I know I need to get with the program. I still have about 49 lbs to go in order to get were my doc wants me to be and 69 for my personal goal. We just have to stick with it, look how far we have come. Laural

Debra, hun that is great news that you are only 15 lbs from his goal and 27 from yours. You have come a long way hun and I know at times the slow scale stinks but know you are doing as you should for a better healthier life and sometimes the scale slows down. Take care hun and have a great day! Debra P

Hi Debra! Don't feel bad. I've only lost 2.5 pounds in the past month. I'm in the same boat as you are. Hopefully next month will be better.

This month is also my worst month. Only 3 lbs so far. Hopefully Tuesday I will lose more than that before the month is up. I still try to follow the rules. Its tough sometimes though. Your are doing great. Keep doing what you are and it will be off before you know it.
