those not in century club yet...

I am also a slow loser! Started at 278 and am now 222 for a total loss of 56 pounds. I am down from a tight 26 to a 22/24. I have lost 6 inches from waist and 6 or 7 from hips. I definately have more energy and feel more attractive but man do I wish I was losing as fast as some others are!! I know we are all different but it's hard not to be envious! We will get there we just have to practice our patience! If you ever need encouragement email me!

I am not there either I have been on a plateau for about a month I am down 70 lbs. and wearing a size 12 I never thought I would be happy to say that I am wearing a size 12 but I am. Only 40 more lbs to lose. more. 235/165

Hey PAchick76. I had my surgery on 10/05/04 so I am nearly 6 months out & I have lost 85 lbs so far. I'm like you, I'm wondering why I haven't hit the century mark either. I am told that it will come but I guess we are alike that we are impatient about it. I have alot to lose so I guess I want it off today. We just have to be willing to wait & we will get there. All we have to keep thinking about is how we will feel when we do. GREAT!!!! Keep up the good work and YOU GO GIRL!!!!

I will hit the century club if it is only with a fricken baseball bat this year. surgery on 10-26-2005 beg. weight 300 present weight 235 65 lb loss and I feel like I have had to fight for every pound of it.

Surgery was 10.26. I have lost 90 lbs. as of today, 3-27. It's exciting. I don't care if it's 50 or 90, or 100. I am losing, and feeling GREAT. Don't give up. I know that when I don't take my vitamins I don't lose. I only take a multivitamin. Nothing else. My labs were great. I just need to take iron every once in a while. Keep it up. Watch your portions. Sugars too. ~Shannon

Hey Girl, I am so relieved that there are others that feel the same way. I have been getting so discouraged. My surgery was 10/06/04 and I started out at 277 and am now only at 220. I have to say I have been lucky in that I have not had any major medical complications from my surgery and would do it again in a heartbeat. I see now how difficult it was for me to lose weight before the surgery since it has been so slow afterwards. I know we all lose at our own rate but it gets quite frustrating. I drink all my water, take my vitamins, and try to get in all my protein. I have not been supplementing my protein with shakes any-more. Do any of you think maybe I should go back and do this? I have to say I feel better that I have in years and am no longer on any type of prescription medication. After I lost the first 40 pounds, I hit a plateau for about 4 weeks and then finally have lost another 17 pounds over the last two months. I feel like I am so far behind where I should be. Thanks to everyone for listening and any encouragement you may have. Robyn
