weight loss - update & question

Hey guys! I just completed my 2 month check up (I am 11 weeks out). I have lost 55lbs if you count from my highest weight when I came home from the hospital. I am worried because most people who start off as high as I did (374) have already lost close to 80 lbs. My friends all say that slow is better b/c that may mean no plastic surgery, but my family are always questioning me on if I am doing all the right things because they think I should be down alot more by now. I am not sure what to think. Any suggestions, incouragements, or advice? Marsha 1/26/04

Marsha, You are not trying to set a new land speed record for weight loss. 55 pounds in just a few weeks is great. If you are getting your protein in first and drinking your water then keep up the good work. I like to have drove myself CRAZY that I hadnt lost as fast as my friends in my support group but I made it in my own sweet time just like you will make it. Hang in there and keep up the good work.
