5 motnhs out - from my blog

So I am 5 months out today.  Weight loss is definitely slowing down - I have only lost 2.4 lbs in the past 10 days!!  Better than nothing though!  I am really going to have to start tracking my intake to get an idea of what I am putting in my body - but that means planning and I have no time for that!! I will have to make time!

So as of this morning I weigh 167.4 - I really wanted to be at 165 by now, but I will take it anyway.  I am down 65.1 lbs, and have lost 56% of my excess weight.  I am dissapointed in that I wanted to be at a higher percentage by now!

I am wearing a size 12 bottom and size large tops though!! that makes me feel pretty good!! i cannot wait to get into size 10's because I have a ton of nice things in that size (from my thinner days!)


I feel like I am a slow loser compared to others!!!  I try to act like it doesn't bother me but it does!!

Hey there!  I feel your pain!!  I was hoping to be down to my goal by now.  I am in my seventh month from surgery.  I have lost about 70 pounds so far.  My weight loss has slowed way down now for about a month.  I want to get to a size 10 also.  It seems like the ideal size to me.  Anyway,  I have gained sooooo much more now.  I am on NO Diabetes medication, i take only 1/2 a pill for blood pressure.  I am feeling better today than I have in YEARS.   And one thing that I have been told is ...  this is not a marathon.. its a lifelong adventure.  There is no rush.  Take your time and enjoy the journey as you go.  
Hope to see you at the meeting tonight!  If not, maybe next month ( you did mention you were really busy).  Take care!   Eldy

I forgot about the meeting tonight... maybe the next meeting?  My life is CRAZY!!  I am going to school part-time, working full time, juggling my daughters school schedule (she started preschool monday) and I take my son to my FIL while I work too! Then I come home to cook and clean!  I really would like to attend another meeting though!

Great job Johana keep up the great work

Thanks Romeo! You are doing great!!!

i know what you mean about the weight loss slowing down...i am only doing about 2 pounds a week, if that... but like you, i am happy with something. i am sure if i exercised more than i have i would have a better result.  i have gone from a 24 to a 16  and a 3x to a L...i am thrilled as a pig in you know what. that's not bad for 5 months out.... i just reached 75 pounds last week!!! i still have 40 to go, but anything from here is plus!!!!!!!!

take care

linda
