So I keep feeling like I'm doing something wrong.... I know I've been told "don't compare yourself to others" but it's so hard not to. I started this journey 10/24/17 my surgery weight was 232. I stalled when I was about 4 weeks out and was stalled for about 4 weeks.... I'm now 5 months out and just feel like I should weigh less than 190lbs. I again, haven't lost anything in the last two weeks. I eat very little carbs, 60-100g of protein daily, water is on point, and I increased my calories to 1,200cal daily bc I'm going to the gym anywhere from 2 to 4 times a week doing cardio and weight training (group classes). So many other people have lost 60lbs in like 17weeks post sleeve..... Am I just over thinking it? Am I a slow loser? Am I a healthy loser? Am I doing something wrong?

I'd also like to point out along with what others have said that muscle weighs more than fat, and you are looking like you're building muscle and toning up great! Keep it up! Some people might drop weight faster but not necessarily be more fit. Just keep working at it and it'll keep coming off. Definitely find more than one way to measure your progress. Best wishes hun.

My thought on fat: Fat is Fluffy --Muscle is solid-- that's why muscle weighs more.[emoji3]

I need to stress that percentage is such a better indicator. I had low BMI and am 44 and so less to loss and I think as we age we lose slower. But I too get scared that I am done and will not lose anymore weight I have lost maybe 6 to 7 pounds my second month and most of that toward the beginning-of month . So yeah 19 in two months is nothing. But in percentage it makes more sense. That said I really want to start losing
