    You can't compare your rate of weight loss to others...
    What was your starting weight? Typically, the lower your starting weight, the slower your rate of weight loss is.
    I had also lost about 19 pounds at 6 weeks out. With the exception of the first 2 months, all of my monthly losses had been single digit (1 to 7 pounds a month).
    It took me 17 months to lose 100 pounds. Although I was a slow loser, I'm dancing on a cloud because this is the first realistic chance I have of keeping the weight off.
    You see, it doesn't matter how rapidly or slowly you lose. What really matters is keeping it off for life. What's the point of losing 30+ pounds a month like a house on fire, only to regain a couple of years from now?
    Good luck to you.

    moto77 reacted to karen_marie in False scale readings?   
    This reminds me of a weird problem I had in my last apartment. My scale never seemed to be accurate, and I would have to weight myself like five separate times in a row and take an average. I realized that the floor wasn't level! That wreaked havoc on the scale trying to accurately weigh me.
    It's probably not what the issue is for you (@chasingpolaris321 is totally right in the daily fluctuations). I ended up having to find the one place in my apartment that was hard flooring and level to weigh myself - and it happened to be the front door entry. Since I tend to weigh in my birthday suit, I had to make sure that door was triple locked haha.

    moto77 got a reaction from James Marusek in Pregnant almost 3 months out   
    I know a woman who got pregnant 4 months after surgery. It was difficult but she had a healthy baby girl. Someone else said follow your doctors advice to the letter. I agree. Good luck!!
