May sleevers results so far!

[jessicar13 12]

I had an awesome real life victory this week. For the first time in two years I didn't need a seat belt extender on an airplane and the tray didn't hit my belly. I'm down 60 pounds and traveling was actually fun. I even made it up the hills of San Francisco without falling over!!!!

There must be something wrong with me. Everyone else's is losing so much quicker than I am. I've only lost 39lb since may 7z. And yes I'm doing all the right stuff. I just want it to work so bad and I get so disheartened when I see everyone's great success stories when it's not happen ending for me.

Sorry about the whine I am really depressed about it.

Sorry thay you are dpressed about this. If you would like to chat about it we can. It may just be your body but believe me your body will lose what it needs lose. 39lbs is a lot of weight in 4 months. That is about 10 lbs per month....Just keep doing what you are doing. I dont know if you work out at all but weightlifting/strength training really helped me start pulling of the pounds.

Sleeved may 7.

37lbs down since surgery date. I am losing a lot slower than everyone here

K8ee, don't despair. I'm a slow loser too. I'm at a stall and its ok. As long as we keep losing, we are ok. We didn't gain it overnight.

SW 265

CW 222

Over 25 inches lost

[Alyjourneys 117]

I have lost 38lbs since May 21st so I too am a lot slower than everyone else but try not to be downhearted we are still losing weight and we will still make it to goal but a little slower and hopefully time for our bodies to get used to the losses. It won't be such dramatic changes but each of us are different and although I do stress when I see how well everyone else is doing compared to me we can't really change how our bodies lose weight if we are following the guidelines which I am.

Me too. I'm right there with u girls

[k8ee 131]

Thanks girls. I'm not alone!! It's really hard sometimes but I honestly think sometimes why have I stopped losing?

[mgmccleary 13]

I'm also a slow loser, but I'm working out and eating well, so I have to have hope it'll continue to go down, I've been the same weight for 3 weeks.

Hey...I'm right there with you. My date was 5/20 and I'm down 39# myself. However....I've not been this weight in 22 years! Also, I saw a former colleague today (who I had not seen in a few weeks) and her jaw dropped. I might not be seeing the scale move, but according to her the body/face are showing the change. So, YAY for me! Chin up....as long as the scale is moving down, no matter how slow, it's going down. Which is the direction we want it to move. :-)

I'm a slower loser as well, my surgery was 5/21 and I'm down 35 lbs. I've had a couple of stalls where its been weeks bouncing up and down within the same couple of pounds. Just happy that its going down and since I'm older, early 50's, it might be a blessing so it gives my body time to catch up with the loss. I don't want to deflate to quickly, lol.

[k8ee 131]

Thanks to all the slow losers posting. I welcomed the encouragement. Feels good to know we're not alone.

I do however encourage all the slow losers to keep posting so we can band together or maybe even start a new thread to keep encouraging each other! It's great that everyone's losing and I hope everyone keeps their chins up.

To infinity and beyond!
