Slow loosers- please read!!

Hey, I just wanted to tell all the slow loosers out there to cheer up. Tonight I went to the July '04 boards. I looked up the profiles of a bunch of the members. They all look SO incredible. Most of those starting between 220-260 only lost between 15-20 lbs the first month. But boy do they look WOW now! Keep your chin up! This is a long journey we are on. But in another year we will be feeling fabulous! Linda PS I finally relost those 2 lbs I gained. I am back to -15 lbs!

Thanks for posting that...i thought i was the only one that was like that...im almost 4 weeks out and i have lost 28lbs...but this last week i have only lost like 1 or 2 ....thought i was doing something wrong...but im doing everything they said to do...but anyway...thanks so much for the posting... jen

Linda, Thanks for the chin up! I needed that! HUGS! Kimberly

Hey you guys don't despear over the amount of weight, it has to come off. It has no choice and we all loose in different times and also some of us were light weights to begian with so be patient with yourselves. Keep loving yourselves and do the excersize and the water and do everythng you know what to do and it will come off as your own body sees fit. Only weigh once or twice a week so you won't get discouraged. And just keep doing what you know what needs to be done and you'll do great. So cheer up you guys Always remember this is a life long comminitment and it didn't take over night to get this way so give yourself a break and don't stress over it. Just keep on keepen on guys Your doing so.......good!!!!!!!!! Blessings, Bonnie

Thanks for the post Linda.., That helped to know am not the only one feeling this way.. Congrats on the relost weight.

Thanks soooooooo much for this post. I've been stalled this week and while I know its normal, its also driving me CRAZY!! That and PMS. So, who knows maybe next week I'll drop 5. Cheers, Lynn

Hey Linda - I too, am a slow loser. I had my surgery same day as you, and I am between 17-20 pounds lost. Yo yoing back and forth. I get discouraged too, but you are right, we will lose. We will get there, just like the rest! Thank you for reminding me. Cristi

Cristi- Hey- 17-20 that is great! I am sure you will quit teetering between them soon and the scale will start moving down again. I am finally going down again. I feel stupid that a few days before my one month I had decided that was all I would loose and thought 15 lbs was it. I don't know it sort of freaked me out. It is already hard for me to completely believe this is really going to "work" for me. The last few days the scale seems to be moving like crazy. I am down to 19 lbs lost and still 2 days until I am one month out!!! I was expecting it to be about 20 lbs in the first month. So I am THRILLED! Were gonna get there!! Linda
