How is it possible??

Whether you lose it in four months or seven months, keeping it off is the challenge. Concentrate now on good habits to sustain you, and remember that comparison will get you nowhere.

I know that, but sometimes its easier said than done

it appears that most everything you are eating is full of carbs.i would switch all of that for dense protein.

Everything I am eating is protein.  My carb intake for the day is around 25.  Not many carbs at all

A 1,500 calorie deficit per day equals three pounds of weight loss per week. It is common to lose additional weight quickly right when you start trying, which for me happened during the preop diet, but since surgery I have consistently lost three pounds per week. I have a fit*****arge hr, and its calculations show that I consistently burn about 1,500 more calories than I eat each day. I eat about 800 calories per day, and the fitbit uses resting calories burned based on weight and adjusts that number based on steps and exercise. Using it has tempered my expectations to be more reasonable. It sounds like you are right on track to me. It has taken me over 14 weeks to lose 43 pounds.

Thanks Maria for the perspective

You need about 10 calories a day to maintain one pound.  At 185 pounds you needed 55000 to maintain.  You ate 15000.  That meant that you did not consume 40000 calories.  Divide 40000 by 3500 and you get 11.42 pounds of loss. 

Im 174 now after my weight loss.  Thanks for the info

I am terrible at math but let's look at the numbers.

To make it easier on my poor brain let's say you want to lose approx 60 lbs total.  You lost 12 lbs the first month.  In my senile mind that looks like you have lost 20% of your excess weight.  In the first month.

Now, my numbers.  I started out needing to lose about 100 lbs.  I lost about 20 lbs in the first month.  Looks like a big loss but it is also 20% of my excess weight. 

We all want to wake up from surgery thin.  And we all had to wait to lose the weight.  Being a lightweight you have the advantage of time.  Let's say you now want to lose the rest of the excess weight, 48 lbs.  And you lose very slow, less than a pound a week.  You will still reach your goal in less than a year.  And you are more likely to lose more than a pound a week.

I hated it when people told me "You didn't gain all the weight overnight and you won't lose it overnight".  Yeah, but I was having a hell of a better time gaining it then I am losing it.

Exactly!
