I look at how well everyone is doing and I am getting super depressed. I have only lost 50 lbs in three months. I started at 281 and it seems people that were bigger (like myself) lose faster. I am doin everything right, and I just don't understand why I'm not losing more weight. What it I don't ever get down to goal weight. Any suggestions on what you think I should do? I can't have protein shakes (my NUT and surgeon determined they have something in them that

Makes me sick). Any thoughts would help!

50 lbs in 3 months is 4 lbs a week! That's about the same rate I've been losing, and I weighed 390 at surgery, and I'm very happy with that. Remember, that works out to a 2000 calorie per day deficit. Don't stress about it!

What I think you should do, in all honesty, is to quit comparing yourself to what everyone else is doing. Have you ever lost 50 pounds in three months before? Personally, I think you are doing amazing! You aren't doing anything wrong. Everyone's body is not the same, everyone loses differently, and, most importantly, this isn't a race. Heck, if it was a race, I would have given up a long time ago. I am an extremely slow loser, but you know what, I don't care! I weigh 125 pounds less than I used to, and no matter how long it took me to lose that 125 pounds, the only thing that matters is that I did and I am healthier for it. Relax, you are doing fine. Most people would be thrilled with a 50 pound weight loss in only three months.

50 pounds in 3 months? !?! ....3 months? What were you expecting? That's an insane amount of weight in such little time!

Im 2 months out an Ive lost 30 lbs. I HOPE to lose 10 lbs this month to get me at 40. I think your loss is awesome! Keep it up!

You're doing great! Everyone looses differently. You mention "what if I never get to goal?" What is your goal? I think goal should not be a number, but where you feel healthy. Our numbers do not define us!

I guess I do just need to stop comparing myself to others. Thanks guys. Sometimes I just need a kick in the pants.

add me to those who think 50 lbs in 3 months is awesome...I am having surgery May 6 and would be thrilled to lose 50 lbs by August 6

I guess I do just need to stop comparing myself to others. Thanks guys. Sometimes I just need a kick in the pants.

<kick> <kick> <kick>

Is this enough kicking? You are doing great! Keep it up and you will reach your goal.

Amen to all the above! I'm 4 months out & not reached 50 lbs! & when have you EVER lost that much that fast before?? Just stop watching the scale & keep up the good work!
