The Numbers Are Adding Up

[mitchjoann132010 288]

Hey guys!

I just want to ask everyone what their stats are. I am 5 weeks and 1 day out and down 13.4 lbs. That averages about 2.68 lbs a week. Overall, it has been a loss of 38.4 lbs from my highest weight. I beat myself up a lot thinking I'm not losing enough but the numbers have added up. My goal was to lose 10lbs a month since I'm only 5'0 tall and close to the 200lb mark and I've lost 10.72 beating my goal.

I love hearing everyone's success because it completely inspires me to do my best.

How far out are you guys and how much have you lost!!

I've been a part of BariPal for a while. I love the positivity on here and how everyone picks each other up. It's hard to see the big picture sometimes but all the advice on patience and trusting the process has really been true!!

This is a great post. You are losing right on track, keep it up!

I am 12 weeks out (as of tomorrow) and am down a total of 67 lbs from my high weight. Of those, 33 lbs since my surgery date. So I am losing an average of about 2.75 lbs a week. When I think of my loss weight loss broken down like this it helps as I feel like I haven't been losing like I "think" I should. I am impatient I guess.

Congrats on you loss! I will be 5 week tomorrow and I am down 31 pounds, so 6.2 a week. I started much, much higher than you though.

SleeveinIL Exactly, it is so easy to be discouraged thinking I should lose more than I am. I read some forums with people that started off around my height and weight and they are losing an average of 10lbs a month. I am so happy for everyone and their weight loss. It is truly incredible to see how everyone is succeeding. I heard a really inspirational saying that about how we are all on a journey and there is no set time frame. We will all end up there eventually.

10 months out and after first month i have lost 8-10 pounds since including May which started out my slowest month so far but had a big drop in last 10 days to get me to my avg (8-10). I consider myself very very lucky because my weight loss has been very steady and not had the soul crushing stalls some have had to fight thru.

Well I am almost 3 weeks out of surgery and have lost about 16lbs so far but 35 since I started the journey.

I lost 13lbs in the first week and then was disappointed when I "only" lost 3lbs this week, daft I know!
