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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
