as long as you're sticking closely to your plan, the weight will come off, whether fast or slow. I was a slow loser, but I lost over 200 lbs altogether. Just make sure you're not overdoing it somewhere - if not, if you're on plan, then I wouldn't worry about it. Your rate of weight loss is what it is, depending on many factors. As long as you're sticking to your program, the weight will come off.

How many time do you work out a week ?

I do work out, but I'm not a gym rat. I end up doing some kind of cardio twice a week (usually Zumba, WERQ, Water aerobics, or a stationary bike). I also do gentle yoga a couple of times a week.

You lost 200 pounds over the year ? How much you weight now if you don’t mind me asking .

I started out at 372 lbs

I lost 57 lbs pre-op (through both my six-month supervised diet that my insurance required, and through the two-week liquid diet that my surgeon required). The rest of it took me 18 months to lose.

I got down to 138 at one point, but I've since bounced back a bit (they say a 10- to 20-pound gain is very common after you hit your low point). I seem to have stabilized in the 147-151 range - I've been here for quite awhile. I try hard to keep it under 150, though. When my weight creeps over 150, it's all hands on deck - I become a real stickler about following my program until I'm back under 150.

I am unfortunately at a stand still with exercising. So i'm re-evaluating what I eat, how often and fluids. What i think and what I've been doing are not lining up. So i'm going back to basics and introducing more Protein and less everything else. Here's hoping for us both to continue to lose

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
