I am a week shy of 8 months (Still cant believe it has been that long already).  I think I have done ok on the weight lose, even though I have SLOWED DOWN ALOT.  I only lose about a 1/2 a lb a week now.  I had RNY on 9/8/08 I started at 258 and now weigh anywhere from 169 to 173 depending on water retension I guess......My goal weight is 138 lbs.....I have gone from a plus size 3x to normal size large.  Pants were 22/24s  now I can wear a 12, and think another lb or two could get into a 10.  

I have people at work tell me all the time how nice I look, and people who dont see me a lot, always comment on the weight lose.  My Husband tells me how nice I look all the time too.  But when I look in the mirror, I look the same to myself.  I know in my head I look better, and I am smaller.....but I dont SEE it.  AND i feel like I should be closer to my goal by now, and get mad that I am not  losing at least a lb a week........I know I must be doing something wrong.....but can't figure it out.

I go to the gym 4 to 5 days a week.....I don't do the same cardio workout each time, and I do lots of running with the kids now, that I never did before.....I do leg machines twice a week, do an ab workout twice a week, and arms/upper body twice a week (do abs when I do my legs).....

I eat 60 - 80 grams of protein  (Dr wants me to have at least 50)  I take my vitamins, limit my carbs, and am trying to watch my sodium....  (I do need to work on my water intake though)...

Guess I just need to know I am doing all I can, and won't fail at this too
