...if you lost 3-5 lbs a week for a year?

My NUT asked us this in our last support group.  

OK, do the math for a minute, LWs.  (The calculation is less helpful for those who've started off with higher BMIs, but if that's you, just up the # to an appropriate # like 10 lbs a week...)



Now smile.  

Many of these "stalls" are our bodies' ways of protecting us!

Enjoy your day, LWs!

Wow  -  that certainly puts it in another light!  I guess sometimes it's hard for us to remember that what is important is that we get there -  not how quickly, not if our journey is slower/faster than others.  I know those stalls we go through can be very painful -  I have had a couple already.  But really, I am a success!  I love my WLS.

If I lost 3 pounds a week for a year, I would weigh 60 pounds. If I lost 5 pounds a week for a year, I would weigh -44 pounds.

While I'm hoping I'm one of those people that loses weight easily and then has to eat whatever they want to be able to maintain weight, I'm definitely hoping I stay above 60 pounds, haha.

3 pounds per week I would weigh 92 pounds

5 pounds per week I would weigh -11 1/2 pounds

Great thing to think about and to help us think about things when we slow down or have a stall.
