how much weight have ya'll lost

I was wondering how I stack up with other people. It seems that 2 weeks out of the month I can't lose weight. I guess from pms and then being on my period. I've lost 35 lbs so far, but I'm sure that my doc would like that to be more. I can't wait to hear how much everyone has lost. Thanks, Amy

Hi Amy...comparisions are evil! You have lost 35 pounds, that is terrific! CJ Okay, I can't resist....47 pounds so far.....see I told you they it was evil...none of us are going to lose at the same rate or as fast as we want... you are doing great and so am I and so is everyone else! Have a great day, CJ

Surgery 7/7/04 -56.5 pounds almost 45% of my excess! Don't be comparing yourself to others though...we all gained differently, we'll all lose differently. Take care... Linda

I had my surgery on 7/19 and I've lost 46 lbs. One of the reasons we shouldn't compare is that people with more weight to lose generally lose weight faster. The main thing is that we are all losing, and no matter what, the weight will come off at this point. 35 pounds is great!! Hugs, Nancy -46

I had surgery 7/6/04 and I have lost 57 lbs. I did go through a period when it seemed the weight came off slowly. However, when I started exercising regularly it came off about 2.7lbs a week. People who weigh more to begin with will lose weight faster...people who have RNY will lose more weight and faster than those with Lap band. It isn't fair to compare, really. Ann
