What exactly is a slow loser?

[Bronco0605 135]

Is there a set number of expected pounds lost per week or month that most people expect to lose and then they don't? I am just wondering what others definitions are.

Great question! In listening to MANY posts, a slow loser is someone who loses less weight by minute, hour, day, week or month than they want to do. SOoooo, it's every one of us. My NUT was helpful. She said...

-- don't get weird, keep your head focused

-- pay attention

-- follow the plan

-- be as active as you can be, and

rejoice at any weight loss. You are in this forever, NOT to ever go back to your old behaviors!

Well my doctor had given me a goal. His expectation was for me to be about 1/2 my goal weight loss around 6 months. I made that in 3 months.

In my opinion:

Dont put on weight but happy with ANY lose.

I average about one lb a week

and sometimes I will lose 2-4 in a week

ME!!

Well to me a slow loser is someone who loses less than 1-2 lbs a week. So far most of the posts I've read and what my Dr told me is that seems to be the standard weight loss. So people who lose less than that a week.
