Hi everybody my name is Ballermom and I'm a slow loser. Ok so, I'm not the typical " I lost 100lbs in 4-6 months" deal. So I developed some motivational steps to help others like myself.

Step one- Don't compare yourself with any body. You worked to hard on this Journey with all the hoop jumping just to get the surgery. Time to appreciate how hard you've worked and who you are as an individual.

Step two-make that scale your Be-atch!

Step three- add another weight loss exercise like Skinny Sex!

Step four- don't forget to enjoy the Journey!

Edited post

Slow losers please comment on your journey for support.

I love those pictures!!! I wish I could download them so I could stick them on my mirror at home as inspiration and reminder...great post!!

Don't forget to laugh during this process.

I'm definitely in the club. This Monday I'll be 7 weeks out and as of today I am down 19.6 lbs from surgery day. But, you are right, I can't compare myself to anyone else. This is my journey. I'm happy the scale is going down!

Love the pics!!

I'm currently in my third week of a stall. I am keeping the faith!

Yea,

We got to keep the faith. Some one said this is not a race our sleeves are forever. So we can keep on keeping on this journey with Success.

I'm on my second month long stall right now. In 9 months I've lost 90 pounds. I knew once I was close to being under 200 pounds my weight would stall. Sure enough, I've been stuck at 205 since the last week of June! 90 pounds is a lot of freakin weight though. I'm very happy! I'm content knowing I'll never be 100 pounds overweight again!

Congrats on your 90lbs weight loss! Stay motivated! We can do it.

This is good. I've stall since June 21, I'll be 2 mont August 1st down 32 lbs and some times I feel down but not gonna let the scale determine my life. I know 6 month or a year from now or how ever long it takes me, I will reach my goal.

I feel the same way that ill reach my goal weight by December or the your mark.

Can any Vets chime in who were slow losers but reached their goal at 9months, a year or longer.

Thanks

I am 7 weeks out and have lost 32 pounds including my 2 week liquid diet. I am happy though because it is coming off and I couldn't have lost 32 pounds in 9 weeks (pre op included) on my own. I will just keep plugging along and when a stall hits and my hair is falling out I will hang in there!! I have lost a ton of inches so I am looking at that as well. Losing slow and a happy girl!!

Good perspective, it'll help you in the long run!

Lots of us vets sharing our stories, too!
