So yesterday I had my check up. I am proud of my accomplishments, but I must say that I was a bit disappointed with this months loss. I only lost 7 .5 lbs this month. That puts me at 81.5 total loss, and I am down 60% of my excess weight. I know it is a lot, I just really had my heart set on 10 lbs. Overall, I am doing well.

Heather- I know, it's weird. I did a year with a personal trainor. In that year I only lost 11 lbs. Seriously, I am so thankful for what is gone. BUT, I worked SO hard this month. Harder than the last 2 months combined, and it just stunk that the loss was less.

Thank you Tia, In re-reading my post today, I sound so ungreatful. I truely am not. I just wish that I could fiqure out why after working so hard this month that the number got less. BUT your right, our brains do get wired so differently so quickly.

I must say you are doing FANTASTIC!! 60% loss of your excess body weight in 6 months!! That is freaking awesome. When did we ever lose that much weight and quickly before having surgery? All you need is 10% more to reach the goal of 70% and that is usually expected for the first year. Congrats on doing wonderful.

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
