1 month quick weight update

[crosswind 134]

Yo it's Crosswind of the 30 day weight loss diary marathon. I have not been weighing myself but today I went to the POOL ( yay) and swam around ( yay) and then weighed myself (...)

scale says: 254.

That's a 35 pound loss in roughly a month.

I don't feel that much thinner but physically, I do feel better. I can just maneuver around much more easily, bend over, swim better and faster than I did a few weeks ago. My blood pressure is down about ten points and my plantar fascitis/achilles heel thingy is improving.

I'm posting this because before, when I had a stomach, I would sift through these boards looking for weight loss updates. I wanted to know: how much weight can you lose in a month? How much in two months? How long til you're thin?

From what I can tell a month out won't make you thin but there are other major benefits

Thanks for the update. I'm afraid I'll be a much slower loser - first, because I've been getting 60+ grams of Protein and over 400 calories since I was a week out (still at 75 grams and about 500 calories, but only at week 2); and second because I have an adrenal condition.

I'm just relying on the fact that if I put out more calories than I take in, sooner or later I'll lose. But man, if I could lose 35 lbs in one month I think I'd be dancing in the streets.

Congratulations!

I thought the same thing. I'm really so focused on liquid and calories and nutrition, plus I have an ear infection and I'm on my second round of antibiotics ( yes, careful reader, I am careful in the pool and use earplugs for an airtight head cabin) , plus I am really still unbelievably f**king bummed at my ex-husband so I decided not to pay much attention to the scale. Bottom line: Something's got to be rearranging itself in there.

It's good to be lighter but I'm sure I'll slow down eventually. We all do.

But after this month I do suddenly have hope that I will see 170 again in this lifetime. So there's that!

35 is fantastic! Good on ya! Have you measured? When the stalls come, you can see the measurements going down when the scales don't....if one number is not complying to your wishes, the other just might.

Good to know, fyi.

THAT is the million dollar question! :confused2:

Everyone here is so different. We have different start weights, different heights, different metabolism, different eating habits, different surgeon's rules, I think you could poll 100 sleevers and get about 80 different answers. lol. I feel like a million bucks having lost -60lbs in 6 months, but then I come here and see that someone has lost -100lbs in 3 months. Does it make my loss less significant? NO WAY!

Congratulations on your loss! May your scale continue down on your journey! :biggrin:
