Hi October 2012 Sleevers! I was wondering how everyone is doing - we made it through the Holiday Season (it was a long one, Halloween through New Years' - we had it pretty rough!). Post your stats with an average monthly loss so we can give newbies an idea of what's possible! Happy New Year, guys and gals! Good luck making it to your next mini or final goal!

Had a follow up with my surgeon this past week to which he told me I look like I am failing because I have only lost 39 pounds since surgery. Obviously, I am a slow loser, but I am losing weight. I still have all of my thick hair, my skin is tightening up, and I have lost 4 pants sizes. Geeze...I didn't think I was failing, just slower than most. Regardless, those words hit home and made me evaluate my diet and exercise routine. Exercise had been hard since I did develop a clot after surgery, but I feel great now so no more excuses.

Not really loosing as fast as I was. Dr said I was above average. Weight loss this month has stopped can't seem to loose. But I do not gain either. I guess I've just stalled. Not sure how to jump start the loss again.
