why am i such a slow loser?

I am 10 months today and down 110 lbs.  I had 200 to lose. I am down only 42% of my excess. I exercise 5 hrs./week and I think I eat too many carbs.  I get so antsy when I read that people are down 200 by now What are you fast losers eating?????????????????????????? g

I started out fast and then got slow.  I don't think the same thing works for everyone.  For me, I just learned I had to eat more, after a 6 month stall, I almost doubled calories and carbs and lost 10 pounds in a week.  Your nutritionist can help with what will work for you, but, you have actually lost 55% of your excess weight. :)  That is awesome!        

Hey your NOT a slow loser ,110 in 10 months.. thats 11 lbs a month on average ...I wouldnt call that slow ,I really wouldnt worry  your getting there !!!  I will be 6 months out on the 8th May and I have lost the grand total of  53 lbs !!! Now that IS  a slow loss ,I am very  dissapointed but thats life I guess or should I say thats my body ?  Doesnt  that make you feel better knowing there are even slower losers than yourself ? lol Susie x

Hi, It must be something in the Philadelphia air.  I had my surgery 10 months ago at Pennsylvania Hospital with Alan and I have lost 150 lbs.  I still have 150 more to go and I have slowed down.  I also endulge in one too many carbs.  I have osteoarthritis in my knees along with lymphodema, so exercise is out of the question at this time.  Hang in there, we were given a really good guideline, I think our NUT Jim is the best.  Drop him an e-mail and express your concerns.  YOu might need to add more to your diet. Good luck. Fellow Pennsylvania Hospital graduate Jeanne
