4 Months out - 1 Lb a week!

Is this normal?? I am walking, taking all my protien, vitamins everyday. I have been really good. but I would be losing an average or 1 to 1-1/2 Lb a week if I am lucky. It just slowed down sooo quick. Please tell me it will get better. I am 5'-2" I was 210 begining weight. 163 Current. Goal 130 - Will I ever get there??

Luma; You're doing great! My losing has slowed, too, but I've got about double the weight you have to lose still. Try posting your question in the light-weights forum http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/wls_lightweights/ as there's a wealth of information in there from others that started out around your weight. Blessings, Jennifer 253 / 191 / ???

I am right there with you. except I am 5'1" starting at 235 now 173 as of this morning goal 125. I had been holding 175 for the past 2 weeks until this morning. And that is subject to change tomorrow lol. I have actually been tettering between 173-175 for the past 2 weeks. My dr says unless you dont see a change for 4 weeks your not on a plateau. she says we just got spoiled by the first few months of quiick loss. Your not alone Leann

I am a lil shy of 4 months and exercise 1.5 hrs a day 5-6 days a week. I average about 1 to 1.5 if I am lucky.... I do all of the same ... I guess it is just the way it is. I kinda expected "quicker" results to but as long as the weight goes down.. I will take what I can get. Hugs Angel J

I've only been losing about 3 pounds a week for the past month or so. started at 358 now at 283. i was hoping to hit my 100 pound mark by my 6th month but not sure now rich 11/16/2005

Not sure what my average is, but started at 291 at consult, was 283 the day of surgery and 229 today. Goal is 140 and I'm having a hard time comprehending that I'll get any smaller than I am now. Starla

WOW thanks for posting this - I was so frustrated with this! I too work out 6 days a week - HARD at the gym - eat only like 2 MAYBE 3 times a day - take my vitamins - I suck with water and need to work on more protein - but I too am only losing like a freaking pound a week. Im 22 yrs old...I started at 321 3 weeks before surgery and 312 at surgery which was 11/2/05 and Im only down to 255.5 granted this is 96 pounds from my highest - only 87 since surgery Im thrilled - but GIVE ME MORE MORE MORE please!!! lol I feel like I work really hard at this and IM obsessed with health and fitness - sometimes I look in the mirror and still see FAT - granted Im over 200 pounds still - but UGH!!!

I guess we need to be patient and keep in mind that we all WILL get to our goal. I too, have stalled and wi**** would come off quicker, but I see I am not alone in this. Maybe the earth is at a weird angle and has halted our progress temporarily. LOL anyhow, lets all give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done. Love and Hugs, Melannie
