I am soooooooooooooooooo jealous

Hello October Family, It has been awhile since I have visited here. After reading the roll call - I feel mighty bad. Not sure what is going on with me. My pre-op: 354 To date: 284.8 I guess I'm just a slow worm.................. Not happy right now MotherLove

MotherLove, 70 pounds is nothing to be sad about. You are doing real good. At times I feel bad that I am not at a 100 pound loss like some October people, but I am VERY HAPPY about where I am. Just knowing you have the tool and that you will get there is such a big help. I read in your profile that you have arthritis that keeps you from exercising. Hopefully on your good days you can get out and walk some. Exercise is one major thing that keeps my weight loss going. I know I have one year to get into shape and I am going to take advantage of it. I also go to www.fitday.com and keep a log of what I am eating and drinking and I visit the main message board everyday to see how and what others are doing. Just think of the end result, not how long it takes to get there. Take care Janice

Don't feel bad, I also feel that way at times. I was certain since I started out at a very high weight I would of lost more by now. I am however very happy for what I have lost and like my friend says... It is better to lose it slowly so our skin can catch up a little bit! Good Luck and remember good things come to those who wait! Continued Success!!!

WOW! That's 70lbs! You have nothing to be ashamed of! I am a slower loser also!

Don't feel bad I have only lost 65 pounds since 10/13.

Ohhhhh. Ok. So as I wipe the tears away after reading some of the other posts and all those great and wonderful 100 lb losses and feeling really bad (I know, we shouldn't) about my 78 little pounds, I am happy to read that I am not alone. And Jan is right. 65/75/85 lbs IS nothing to be sad about. I have been struggling with getting all the protein, water, and exercize but I am renewing my efforts. Stupid carbs. I tolerate them so well. Congratulations and big hugs to everyone. Anyone who thinks what we have done is easy has never done it themselves. We are all doing a great job. Jill 280/221/150
