Tough Day......6 months tomorrow

This is not a race.  There's no having to lose X pounds by Y date.  If you are sticking to your plan, you WILL lose the weight.  If your surgeon is happy with your progress, you should be happy with your progress.  I'm sure your surgeon has seen plenty of patients who are not sticking to the plan and who are not doing well.  You're not one of those people.

You've lost an average of 13.7 pounds a month.  That's pretty incredible when you think about it!

We all lose at different rates so it really doesn't make much sense to compare yourself to others.  To be honest, I don't even remember how much I had lost by six months because in the whole scheme of things it really doesn't matter.  I'm sticking to my plan, I'm continuing to lose weight, and I'm a healthy, active person now.  

So, be happy with your GREAT accomplishment.  Stick to your plan and keep up the success!
