Chrisitne---I dont think you are losing that slowly. I think its normal. Your doing fine. I have my surgery on the 7th and am down 66 pounds.

I agree w/everyone else...........seems like now that I have lost some weight I focus more on my problems, leg's, stomach, etc.....as where in before I was bigger all over- I would just ignore it...... I guess it really is a mental game, and we have to start believing the changes that are happening for real, I get compliments all the time - but I still see all the weight that I need to loose and still feel like the hugest person around..... Wishing everyone a better insight on body image! thumbsup: we can do it!! maggie 318/248/150

I am right with you all on the body image thing. It took a stern look in the mirror to realize I needed to stop wearing my now baggy clothes...bra straps hanging out is just not cool. So I'm excited about being in smaller clothes and I know I've lost 60 pounds but I see the at least 140 that I have to go and....whee, down the negative talk slide I go. We need to rely on each other to keep our attitudes positive.....this place is a great support to me. Just realizing I am not alone in this journey is of huge benefit. Sending positive, optomistic vibes out to you all!!!! Kat

Hi all.... Meryll, I'm glad you posted this. I've been very frustrated this week because I seemed to have stalled out all of a sudden and haven't lost anything for a week. UGH! I guess we all just need to keep doing what we are doing and have faith that the plateau will burst forth in more weight gone forever! Keep on keeping on! Kat

Today we are having a "warmer" day as the weather dudes call it....we are now up to 37! OOOHHHH HOOOOO! Snow is fun until it gets dirty and you have to go to work. YUCK!!! If you are ever this way again, let me know! Kat
