People that start off at a higher bmi are going to lose at a much higher rate because their daily caloric deficit is going to be much higher at first.

I started at a bmi of 38 on December 28. I'm now nearly five months in and I've lost 50 pounds and my bmi is 31. So losing more than 7 points of bmi in five months I'm very happy with that... As long as I keep losing...

When people talk about how much weight they've lost over a specific time frame' date=' that number can only make sense if you know their starting BMI[/quote']

you r right .. i used to have a bmi of 44 and now its 33 which is grt

i have higher bmi than urs when i first started

"as loong as i keep loosing "

thnq every one for this great support

hey every one

i was sleeved 3rd of january 2013 and ive lost 61lb (28kg)

Hi! Congrats:) are dates are so close! How is your weight loss going? And how about your hunger? Today I was sooo hungry:(

my wt loss isgetting slower nw and i had a stall for 3 weeks ive lost 42 pounds so far

omg u have no idea somedays i got really hungry lool

It can be normal' date=' I went through the same thing with mine, it eventually worked itself out. When you rapidly lose weight it can throw off your body's mechanics a bit. I have known some people to have stopped their period all together for a few weeks. If it is something you are concerned with, or could possibly be pregnant, I would see your private doctor. I hope this helps![/quote']

thats great to know someone with me in the same day ... and its greater when we r both in different places ..im in saudia arabia ..where r u ?

im om the track to loose yhese days since sat.day actually ..i really should stop eating lol

helllo all .. my date is january the 3rd ...anxious and cant waittttt!!!!! but i think am eating more these days loool

How about going shooping for clothes and falling in love with a piece that they might not have in ur size or that u kno is not in ur size. Or how about running out of air while going up stair 2 or 3 floors. The looks people give u like if u not human or something. Having my relatives always reminding me how fat i am. Ive cryed over that.

and how about the guy who sales in thid amazing stoor hives u the look saying miss we dont have big sizes ...or ..we can check if we have ur size :s
