How much are you losing a month these days?

I'm happy to say that I still lose 8-9 pounds a month--- slow and steady wins the race, right? How's everyone else doing in that sense?

Funny you ask. I made a chart just the other day. April 5 March 7 Feb 5 Jan 11 December 8.5 November 11 October 13.5 Sept 15 August 17 July 12-July 31 14 5/1/07 to Surgery Day 7/12 17

Here is what I have been doing since the beginning... July 31 = Surgery Date August = 26.5 September = 20.0 October = 16.0 November = 11.5 December = 18.0 January = 14.0 February = 9.0 March = 11.5 April = 7.5 April was my worst month so far with only loosing 7.5 pounds... and all of those were at the beginning of the month... I think I only lost 1.5 pounds from April 8 - April 30th. I do set goals for myself everymonth and try not to beat myself up when I dont achieve them. My goals are 10 pounds per month(ish), this month I was suppose to get to 235.0 but I ended up at 239.5, so close but no cigar. I dont think I will hit my May goal of 225, since I am behind already... but I can hope. Once I hit 1 year out I changed my goals to 5 pounds per month. If I divide up my weight loss 155.5 pounds in 9 months that comes out to be 17 pounds per month... I will take it.

The past 3 to 4 months I have been losing between 5 and 7 lbs. per month. Slow.

My weight loss has slowed down TREMENDOUSLY... July-Aug. =39.5 Aug.-Sept.=15.5 Sept.-Oct.=18 Oct.-Nov. =13 Nov.-Dec.=15.2 Dec.-Jan.=8 Jan.-Feb.=8.4 Feb.-Mar.=2.8 YIKES Mar.-Apr.=6.6 Apr.-May.= so far 3...but I have a week to go! A total of 130...25 more to go!

I fluctuate too. 7/25 surgery... August: 17.5# September: 18# October: 12# November: 16.5# December: 16# January: 12# February: 7# March: 11# April: 9# Two more pounds so far for a total of 121# My monthly average is 13.22#...I guess that is pretty good?!?!?! I am happy, Lisa/Mom
