Martie! got a reaction from msleo88 in What am I doing wrong?Honestly just feel like I'm failing. I eat my protien, take vitamins, drink water, and have started back working out. I admit popcorn is my slider vice but not daily or on routine.

Martie! got a reaction from Missie21 in What am I doing wrong?Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I think I have to let go of the comparison of people dropping 100 lbs in almost 3 months.. so it’s a little frustrating. I was thinking of going back to strict Keto -

Martie! reacted to ShoppGirl in What am I doing wrong?yes you definitely do have to let go of comparisons to other people. I am a slow loser too but I am 11 pounds from a normal BMI and I am still losing. The important thing is not how fast you lose it just that you keep losing. Honestly I am glad I am a slow loser. So far I do not have any loose skin and I think the slower loss may be why.

Martie! reacted to Butterflyeffect in What am I doing wrong?Congratulations on your weight loss to date!! Losing 36 pounds post surgery, in 3 months is still something to celebrate, even if it feels slow to you. Everyone loses weight at different speeds.
If you are worried that you may not be on track, I highly recommend talking to your doctor or nutritionist.
If you aren’t already, I found tracking everything I ate really helped as it doesn’t take much for the calories to mount up. I’m certainly not suggesting that you can’t eat popcorn or anything like that but they are high in carbs and it also depends on how they are cooked, e.g. air popped vs cooked in butter, so tracking your intake can just help you keep on top of things.
At just over three months out, your body is still healing and so it’s really important to stick to your doctor’s plan and the weight will continue to come off.
Best of luck and I look forward to hearing about your journey as it progresses
