_{Lai84 - that means that you are down 45 pounds since you started' date=' that is great! I don't think you doing anything wrong - 45 pounds in 8 weeks is more than a 5 pound loss per week average! You are doing great, I just think YOU need to remember that! Keep going and feel great about what you have accomplished.[/sub']}

_{Thank you! I know I should be ecstatic with my progress and shouldn't compare my journey with anyone else's. it's just a little discouraging when I see people losing 40-50+ pounds. Thank you for the encouragement!!!}

I been feeling frustrated lol. I work out 4-5 days a week, I stick to my calorie goal and the scale just won't move.

I feel your pain! What's you caloric intake goal per day? Dr wants me reaching for 800-1000. No less than 800. It's tough!

Please don't get depressed! Depression slows down weight loss also

I'll keep a smile on my face!! My dr told me to eat 600-800 cal a day. I rarely get to 800 I'm sending a food diary to my dr to see if I need to eat more. That will be hard because I'm never hungry and can't eat more than about 15 bites of food each meal.

Wow you're doing awesome! I remember you hated life a couple days out of surgery and look how great you've done!

[chrmen85 11]

I am able to eat, I have 1200 calories a day. I have to stop myself from eating. Sometimes I feel. Like I'm the only one like this.

I'm sorry you are struggling but mentally you are doing great. What was your goal to lose? Are you a lower BMI.

[sheilarae 84]

I started at 200...BMI was 40.4. Now I'm 173...BMI is 34.9 I lost 20 lbs the month before my surgery. My goal BMI is 25. That puts my weight at 125. I'm 4'11" and I'm 62 years old.
