    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Weight Loss Averages
posted on 12/16/09 6:21 am
I see so many people fretting about not losing fast enough.  When normally they are losing faster than the averages or are exactly where they need to be.  Sometimes we might have unrealistic expectations about how fast we should lose.... or compare ourselves to others who are losing faster than us.  But comparing is dangerous because each BODY is different and you can't compare to someone else because they are on a different journey than  you are.  Someone who weighs 100 pounds more than you do is obviously going to lose faster and vice versa.  So no comparing folks!

And just to give you a VERY GENERAL rule of thumb on what to expect for averages, here's some guidelines.  But remember that AVERAGE means nobody hits these numbers exactly, half of the people will be below the average and half will be above the average - this is only for reference:

Month 1 --- 20-ish pounds lost
Months 2-6 --- 7-10ish pounds lost
After Month 6 --- 5-7ish pounds lost -- or whatever the heck  your body feels like doing
