This is NOT Magic, and Do NOT Comapre yourself to anyone else!
Very often I tell people here not to compare themselves to others because some do embellish the truth. Also losing weight is not a race or a competition. Your body is going to lose at the rate it damn well pleases. I tend to lose slow because I'm hypothryoid and I have severe arthritis in one knee, this limits me to the type of exercise I can do, but it doesn't stop me for working out every other day and doing water aerobics twice a week!
I don't stick to a low carb diet. After a 6-week stall, my nutritionist told me to eat a piece of toast for breakfast and it broke the stall! Also, I recently joined Weigh****chers and am finding my weight is coming off at a better rate now because I now have a way of tracking what I eat and how much I eat. When I was just eating low carb I discovered I was eating too many calories. I still stick to 60-70 grams of protein each day and I eat fairly healthy 97% of the time, but I don't beat myself up if I want some ice cream or chocolate. I socialize, have drinks and eat pretty much what I want, the only different is I can't eat the amount I used to eat, however, when I do socialize and am off my program, it's over as soon as I get home and I get right back on the wagon again. I don't beat myself up, don't say, "well I blew it so might as well blow the rest of the weekend."
I'm 6 months post op and have lost a total of 52 lbs. I have 75 more left to go and it will come off in due time. I am NOT going to starve myself or race to lose it. I set small goals and when I reach them I go out and buy myself a new pair of shoes or a new top or pants! I don't reward myself anymore with food!
And yes, during that 6 week stall, I did lose inches all around!!
This tool we chose is really a blessing, and once you learn how to listen to your cues, stay on target and do what you need to do to stay healthy, everything else falls right into place.
I wish you all continued success and God bless all of you!
