Well, considering the average expected loss is 4-8 lbs/mo, and you've lost 7 lbs each month, I'd say you're doing GREAT!! There is nothing to be frustrated about, you are right on track for a terrific year.

You're doing great, if you had the outlook of 100 pounds in a year and you are down 42 at 6 months then at six months your desired goal was 50 you are only 8lbs off. You are doing wonderful, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!! :clap2:

Pat yourself on the back, you have lost 42 pounds, you will lose 100 lbs one day but you need to tell yourself what a great job you have done so far. The cup is half full, if it takes 2 years to lose 100 lbs it doesnt matter does it.

Focus on the positive and you will find you have a lot to focus on, congratulations on your success to date and keep up thye good work.

YOU ARE DOING FINE! I am right at 6 months and I have lost "only" 50+ lbs and I am at times a little discouraged, but I realize that this is NOT a race! A year, 2 years.....what ever it takes, we WILL get there! I tell you what, I dont have that "sunken in" look that alot of people who have lost too quickly! I have maintained my muscle mass, that usually gets used up when you lose too quickly! The more I think about it........I am losing it at just the right pace!!!

Well, At six months, I think I'd lost about 30 lbs, and now I'm at about 18/19 months and I'm at 55lbs lost, so even if you aren't going to reach your goal of 100lbs in one year, you are still doing really great.

Just think of where you will be next year at this time if you keep going at that pace, that will be a great accomplishment. Slow weight loss is the healthiest choice.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
