Ya'll are making me nervous!!!

All this posting about our 6 mos. check ups with the doctor is making me think twice now! I was all ready for my 6 month appt on the 26th, but now Im thinking maybe I havent lost as much as I should have either. For the life of me, i cant remember what his expectations were of my weight loss at 6 months. I do remember him saying he expected me to lose 170 pounds in one year! (I'll NEVER hit that mark at the pace I'm going!!) Keep me updated on everyone's doctors comments.....hope all is positive!!

I wouldnt worry about it too much cuz your doing your best, your loosing weight and we are all different. At my 3 month check up my doc told me I was 6lbs behind after having lost 60lbs and I was a little upset. Also told me that I had 9 months to loose the rest of my 160lbs that I have too loose, otherwise after a year I'm gonna stop loosing and have to diet like a normal person. Bad news is that I've got 6 months left to my year and I have to loose another 68lbs to make my goal. I don't think I'll make it at the rate I'm goin, but I'm happy and as long as I'm still loosing weight and inches ... works for me! I feel better, I look better and I get compliments everyday. I love my doc (who is now retired), BUT ... everyone is different, and if it takes me 12 to 18 to 24 months to loose my weight, I will loose it using this tool. I'm not like a normal person and some way or another I will loose if I stick to what I need to do. Keep your head up, we are doing GREAT and just do what you gotta do!!

I have a good friend who is 13 months out and loosing faster than I am still. You have hope, do not let it worry you yet!!! I had my six month and he was not disappointed in my loss but told me I still have a long way to go. I weighed in on his scale at 175 and it wants me to at least 130 by my one year! Nancy
