No that is not slow. And it wouldn't matter if it was. Don't compare yourself to others, everyone loses differently. If you would like to lose faster, take a look at your food composition. Some people are insulin resistant, especially early out when they are heavier. You may want to drop carbs below 50 grams a day (no more than 20 grams in a meal) to see better results. Many people drop to under 20 grams of carbs a day for best results. Ketogenic diets are very effective.

I am insulin resistant from PCOS. The carbs is a good I idea. I'm going to pay more attention to that.

I am also losing "slow"....or what I think is slow. I finally decided that this weight will come off when it comes off! I am NOT going to be a slave to that stupid scale to give me validation and I am NOT going to have such high expectations that I sabotage myself. It is what it is. THis is a journey in which I have no idea when I will get to the end of the first leg (goal weight). At this point any weight loss is fabulous right? We weren't able to do it before our little friend :-)

Keep up the good work!!!

It doesn't strike me as slow, but I'm not buying the comparisons. We all started at different places w/ our own body hormones, etc. It was interesting what the commentator brought up about Ketogenic diets. I've been avoiding carbs (bread is easy to avoid for me, Pasta is a different story) and I think that may help some. I miss Pasta and I'm waiting for the lack of it to be a habit as they say - it's been over three weeks. :)

I have the most boring diet, deli meat and cheese. I've tried other stuff and it hurts, but I will say when that happens, I go for another walk and it really helps.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
