1 Month Out!!!

Hi everybody!!! Ok so today I am one month out and boy oh boy has this month been a struggle! I've lost 22 pounds so far. I am very happy with that. I think I am a slow loser and it makes me frustrated at times...but lately I've just been happy with what I have lost and look foward to losing more! Well gotta get back to work....bye for now! Tami

Tami, It is time to hand the scale over to Kathy K, along with my scale, so she can throw them on to I-91 for us. How do you feel? The scale is a number... don't let it run you. I need to do the same. P.s. I find that when the scale isn't moving ... my inches are... measure yourself. I'd rather loose inches that people can see than the number on the scale which only I know. *wink* Hugs, Chrissy

I am a slow loser and can sympathize with the way you feel. Here are the plusses of being a slow loser Ive found so far.... people dont question my weightloss... everybody thinks Im doing it "naturally" so I dont have the gawkers/comments/questions. You lose more fat and less lean muscle when you lose slow... this will help you to lose at more steady rate and its MUCH healthier. Im also hoping this will help with the loose skin... I had some under my chin and it went away (woo hoo!!) Im hoping certain areas will be able to adjust better since the weight loss isnt so extreme. I dont have to keep buying clothes! I can actuaclly wear stuff a good amount of time so I dont keep spending spending spending I am 4 months out and down 47lbs... a lot of people may lose that in their first month/month and a half but I am now only 55lbs away from my goal!! I am hoping to be down another 20lbs by xmas time so I will be even closer! Good luck with your journey and keep up the good work!

I used to be obsessed that I was a slower looser!!!! lol, now at 5 months out I can see what a difference the weight loss has made. I am only 52 pounds away from my goal of 130!!! Hang in there, 22 pounds the first month is awesome, your gonna do great!!!
