You're not stuck.  Kep patting yourslf on the back.  It is normal to have a slow down after such rapid loss.  You are actually well ahead of the curve.  Congratulations to you and a pat on the pack from me. 

Wanna know stuck?  Check out my profile under metabolic challenge.   Folks like me are really stuck.  Keep doing what you're doing and the pounds and inches will get to dropping again. 

Now, for ten seconds I will have to hate you because I am green with envy.  This is my green eyed monster of jelousy.    Counting down, 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1... I'm ok now. 

Really, enjoy your success.  Brag about it if you please.  Remember few people loose in a straight predictable pattern.  Some loose, slow down, stall, even gain a but.  In the long term you will get where you choose to be.  If I can make goal with this metabolism, seriously anyone can.  No doubt the way you are loosing you'll get to your desired weight.

Hi MSW

LOL please don't hate me too much. I really was very freaked out this week, so I am glad you all are willing to reassure me. I do not know if I am ahead of the curve. 50-60% EWL at 6 months was average according to my doc?

Don't forget: I come from far, my BMI was 57 or something, so % wise I lose kind of fast I guess. Also because I was very strict on the rules the first months.

It was not my intention to hurt anyone or brag, I just wanted some tips and reassurance, and you all gave me just that, thanks!

Hi guys

Thanks for the encouragement! sounds like 1000-1200 is not excessively too much at this stage if I hear some of you.

I KNOW that you are all right and this is the time to establish an exercise routine. Quite frankly I am baffled I got away with it for so long... I wish we had gyms that open early: i love to exercise first thing in the morning, but gym does not open till 9 and by that time I have a husband at work, a child in school and a toddler attached to my every move. I will just have to bite thourgh and learn how to pick myself up in the evenings to go... (no they do not have daycare either at the gym)

So: action points for this coming week:

-stop stressing out and maybe even hide the scale for a while

-build up exercise routine (bodypump/zumba and fitness plannend this week)

-try to ask myself with every food i want to eat: is this a nutricious food or is it useless?

I will start with these 3 things, sounds like a plan?

I am thankful for you reassuring me that i am not done yet! I was 12 years old (!) when I went above 100 kilograms (about 20 pounds) as you can imagine for us metric people the 100 kilo-line is a VERY big thing, like for you guy****ting onederland. I NEVER was there since age 12 so I am so anxious to get there! Must....be....patient!

Sounds like the start of a plan for success.
