Losing it Slowly

What's worth the PRIZE is ALWAYS worth the FIGHT!
Hey - I just joined this group because I too am losing soooooo slow but I think I'm doing everything right. I'm logging my foods and getting 1100-1200 calories a day, I'm now in preliminary training to run my first 1/2 marathon that's next May. My rny surgery was 7/7/11. I lost 38 lbs post op and since surgery I've lost 29 lbs. Most people at this point have lost around 60 lbs since surgery. I'm going nuts! I haven't really had any stalls. I was losing less than 2 lbs a week then the last week of Sept and first week of Oct I lost 2 lb each week. I thought finally! then I got on the scale last Sat and gained a pound. Ridiculous! I'm chalking it up to upping my exercise. Not that I've gained muscle but I think the fluids from fueling my muscles is doing it. I keep pushing on knowing that I'm taking better care of my body but I thought this surgery would make things happen quicker, ya know??? I've heard it all...it's a marathon not a race...losing slower is better...blah blah blah. This comes from people that are losing faster!!! NOT HELPFUL! Sigh....
This is the first post in my new group! If you have recently joined please go a head and introduce yourself!
My name is Jeanine and I started this group so that we (slow losers) could have a place to come for support and encouragement! I had my surgery on May 13, 2011 and I have lost 49lbs so far. I am discouraged but I am not giving up. I know that lately my slow weight loss is my own fault but I am getting back on track so that I can lose my last 50 to get to my goal!
I hope you enjoy the group!
