How Much?
I'm pretty happy, but I wanted more. I feel guilty about wanting more, since I've lost more than a lot of people, but I've got a lot farther to go than most of you.
On my 8 week weigh in this past Monday, I'd lost 64.5lbs since surgery. And 87.5lbs since my high in February 2005.
But I've still got 135.5lbs to go till I reach my goal. Which at an average of a little over 8lbs a week, is still a long long way away.
But... on the other hand... I'm now 2.5lbs from my weight on my work badge. And I've NEVER weighed what my work badge says.
Sometimes I think a percentage is a more fair way of looking at weight loss, since it is more even. I'm 32.3% of my way to goal, and I've lost 15.11% of my weight since surgery. I need to lose nearly 50% of my weight since surgery.
As for the raw stats....

It's been 7 weeks for me and "only" 39.5 pounds. I say "only" because I only lost .6 pounds from last week. I am hoping next week will be a big drop to make up for it. I was hoping for a faster drop but maybe this is better for my body. I know I am going to have skin galore to contend with at the end, so I should be thankful for it to take some time to get to goal. LOL And I have been bothered with back twinges and am wondering if that is caused by my weight loss and my body's center of gravity changing.
Thank you for posting these!! It makes me feel so much better. At times, I get so frustrated because I feel I am loosing so slow. I had my surgery 9/19. I have lost 37 pounds thus far. It has gone slow from the second week on, and at times, it doesn't make since. However, reading all of your post, just reinforces, that I need to be patient, stick with the program and know that everything will eventually be where it needs to be!!!
