Hello everyone, I was wondering what everyones thoughts were on us slow losers getting to goal. Do you all think us slow losers can still get to goal or do you know slow losers that have made it to a normal weight range? This really worries me. I have lost 72 lbs so far. Tell me what ya think.

Oh Honey!! I've heard of PLENTY of "slow losers" getting to goal! Just go over and read some of the success stories. MANY of them considered themselves "slow losers". I think that 72 lbs. in 6 months is TERRIFIC!!! I don't think that you would have lost that much any other way. I know I would not have!!! Half way in 6 months is GREAT! Just think in another 6 months. Maybe not quite the other half, but at least "most" of it. And PLENTY of people continue to lose for 18 months or more. So, don't be discouraged!! Concentrate on where you've come from and not so much on how much farther you have to go. You can do it!! We ALL can. Hugs, Pam

I do know what you are saying, I am a slow loser also.(very up setting).I find my self getting up set and you know what comes along with that EATING TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER.I keep telling my self water load and eat meat makes me fill longer.We can do it we just need to keep in mind how far we have come.In the long run our skin will be better off loseing slower.We just need to belive in our selves.

You will make it. There is a lady at my weight loss meetings who is almost 2 years out and still has 25 pounds to go till she makes her goal. She looks amazing. Your doing great and seem right on track. Best wishes and keep your chin up. Shannon

Tina, I think we can do it if we don't let down our guard. If we don't keep careful watch on things, then we can lose track of how much we are eating and stall out our weight. On the other hand, if we stay diligent with eating the right things and keeping the wrong ones to a minimum, plus staying active as much as we can, then we can achieve everything we want! You are doing great, enjoy your success. We've lost about the same amount (and we aint done yet!!!) I believe we will reach our goals because we care enough to be on this site regularly learning and sharing what it takes to make that happen. Love, Sue
