I am a slow loser.

I am losing my weight slowly. I type this as I check out other posts and all I see is "I've lost a zillion pounds in just three months!" I am excited for these people as this must be the greatest time for them. I, however, and plodding along, making slow but sure gains. I just wanted to let others that might be losing slowly know they are not alone. Many of my friends that had WLS lost slowly and met their goals and maintained them! Keep the faith! Teresa

Great attitude. I seem to be in line with most of the losers here,EXCEPT, I keep seeing posts about how " I was a size 26 just 2 months ago,now I am in an 18 !!!". This I don't understand. I have lost about 44 lbs since 1/4/06 and I am wearing about the same size that i started in.Granted everything is a lot looser,I still don't see myself in a size 18 anytime soon.

I'm with you on that one, Valerie! that just goes to show the difference in everyone's bodies! I was a 26/28/sometimes 30 and now feel great in some of my 26s and the 28s are getting bigger and bigger lol. *~*Jaci*~*

I agree Jaci and Renee!! Teresa

Valerie, I hear you on the clothing size. I have lost and can see it. I just haven't lost where I wanted to to get back into my 22-24 pants yet! Teresa

I want your positive attitude! I am a slow loser (today is my 2-month-versiry and I have lost about 38 pounds since surgery). Thank you for this post. It really did make me feel better

M, Thank you for your post. I knew I could not be the only one but it never hurts to put it out there and see if others are in the same boat! Thanks for your support. Teresa

You helped my motivation grow about WLS! Thanks!

I hear yah!!! I am amazed by the light-speed some people drop sizes!! And yes, it must be body types and where we carry our weight. And remember this is a marathon, not a sprint. Good for us for believing in ourselves and our potential!!! love to all cj

Carole, You are so right. This is a marathon and that is good to keep in mind. I celebrate others success' and know I will have it also. Teresa
