what is happening to me

i feel like i'm loosing really slow...,i have lost, so far only 53 lbs,i'm under 300 now and i am thrilled about that and i feel really good,just thought i'd loose more weight and faster than i am...i think i dont eat enough protein...what can i do to loose more weight faster or is this normal ?

Joni, I have surgery on 7-25-05 and have lost about the same...I've lost about 60 pds...I just don't weight myself often because it will drive me crazy... As far as protein what are you taking? are you drinking protein shakes or bars? I use and unflavored protein and mix it with crystal lite...in the beginning I drank the atkins shakes but can't seem to drink them anymore. Linda

Are you ladies working out? I know that does help alot. Latisha 07/27/05 82 lbs.
