wish I had a favorite button

I wish there was a way of saving posts on here so I can go back to them later... and a like button.

A short while back someone had posted a cool chart with the rough averages of expected weight loss, I tried doing a search but can't find it. I think it also went by your BMI.

Anyone?

I am just wondering how realistic these charts have been for people.  I feel like I am working my butt off and not getting the results I want quick enough.  I also keep reading how people a few years out have to eat even less and workout more so they don't gain weight.  I guess I am nervous that I will fail and never reach goal.

Michelle

are these results for RNY or VSG?  the numbers seem kind of low to me??

I am not sure... I am on track with the chart above but not doing so well with the BMI chart one.

Michelle

what is the BMI chart one......... I haven't even paid attention to my BMI  don't think I even remember what it was pre surgery LOL
