So Discouraged

Most people take about a year to reach their goal. The rapid loss you see in the first few months is NOT sustainable.

The standard pattern we see on OH is rapid loss in weeks 1 and 2, a "three week stall" with no loss for a week or more, and then a slow and steady loss of 1 - 2lb per week over the course of 9 months to a year.

You're discouraged by this? You should be dancing!

You should also strap yourself in, because the likelihood of losing 17 pounds in a three week span again are extremely remote.

you don't list your height,but it sounds like you aRe a "light weight" someone who has a relatively small amount to lose.

Light weights lose less quickly in the beginn8ng than someone who has hundReds of pounds to lose.

From your other posts,it looks like you only needed to lose about 50pounds total,is that correct?

if so, you will probabl3 Rey goal in 6-9 months if you stay completely on program.

Im 5'3" and want to get down to 150 lbs

So strange. So I had RNY on May 15, in these 3 weeks I have lost 17 pounds.... I AM THRILLED!!! LOL!! Just keep with the diet plan and exercise. You will be fine.

she deactivated? Did I miss something?

It saddens me when people choose deactivation. So much information is available here.

I know - strange that she posted, then deactivated so quickly.

I sniffed a troll when I read this, it's just too ridiculous a story, and I felt she was baiting for people to call her out.

You all were so nice! Where were all those meaniepants I hear about?

Never mean. Realistic is more like it.

I think that you've hit the nail on the head here and am embarrassed that I was fished in by this ridiculousness.
