Wish I was losing faster



Recommended Posts

I can't even eat 5 wings. I had 4 and was full. Crazy. With as little as I eat, I thought I'd lose weight faster.
My doctor says I'm losing at a good pace, so I'm going to trust him. I just wish it was faster.

IDK why it is that everyone (including me) want to lose faster? Since I started this journey I feel like I should have lost more. Then I look at all my previous attempts and realize that I could never have lost this much weight and felt so confident that I can keep it off...never. I have learned that I am a slow but steady loser. This no longer bothers me because I have gotten small enough that I feel good, can exercise comfortably and can enjoy so many things I couldn't before. I'm in it for the long haul and the 40 pounds I have left to lose will come off. How can it not with great restriction and good eating?

At 5'4" I get about 1,000 cals a day although I don't really track calories. I track Protein (60-100) and carbs (25-50). As tall as you are and being male you should be getting more. Your body will hold on as long as it can when it is starving. Up your eating and I bet it comes off faster.

Enjoy the marathon...I've learned I don't sprint very well:-)

take care

I was told to have 600 calories a day, 100g of Protein, and 1.5 gallons of Water per day. So, 90% protein 5% fruits 5% veggies. Nothing fried. Nothing with bbq or fatty sauces.

I usually eat from 600 to 700 Cals per day. Protein is 80 and above. I drink on average 120 oz of fluids per day. My food choices may seem bland to many but a wee bit of spices takes care of that! I eat a well rounded assortment of foods, including fruit. All foods are weighed. Plus, I exercise a total of 750+ minutes per week at the gym. I am very determined to take back my life! Before surgery was able to lose 120 lbs with mainly food choices and reduction in portion sizes so postop crumb-sized portions weren't such a major mind blowing event. Since surgery in March 2017 I have lost 101 lbs. I never thought I would get to this point so fast!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
