A different prespective

OK...  so, I feel like I'm losing extremely slowly...  Before surgery, I kinda hoped I would lose slowly.  Just to give my skin a little more time to "bounce" back, maybe...

But, when I weigh weekly at home, I have been kinda discouraged at how slowly the scale is moving.  But, I kinda hit a "milestone" today with 40 lbs lost, so I thought I'd update my ticker here on OH. 

When I look at it on my ticker though, it makes me feel better.  I'm about half way to my goal!  I'm just under 3 months out and half way to goal!  When I think of it that way it doesn't seem too bad...

Just thought I'd share that little light bulb moment with you that I just had :o)

40 pounds in 3 months is awesome. the average person loses between 5-10 pounds a month so you are above average. Keep up the great work. you will be to goal in no time.

Yeah, I try not to think about it too often.  I try to just keep doing the right things, eating the right foods, and keep moving!

That is such a WOW moment, not a discouraging one!  I think that is such an awesome accomplishment.  Could you have done that prior to surgery in less than 3 months?  Concentrate on the wonderful job you're doing and be proud!  I'm excited for you, Michael.

In two words.....  ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

It took me 6+ months and a lot of hard work to lose 30 lbs with Weigh****chers!

Thanks Michael

Dot

Dot, it is slower because you don't have as much to lose as some here....that is always the way it goes.....Another thing to remember is that 40lbs won't be coming back! I think you are doing great!!! Hang in there!
Sher

yeah, I realize it will be slower as a "lightweight" 

How are you doing on your journey?

I am just waiting now.....I have done everything but go to diet class. I have to wait until the end of January to be off my Plavix meds. That is my cardio's requirement so I am doing as required. Other than that....I'm ready!!  I have to pretty much just maintain my weight and go in off and on to be sure I haven't gone nuts or gained the weight back. I should be able to handle that....In the meantime....I have plenty of time to take Before pics! LOL

Dot, I think you are doing great.....I couldn't believe the new YOU at the walk and that was a month or so ago.
