Slow Weight Loss

Thank you to everyone *****sponded to my post. I'm taking all the good advice and adjusting my expectations. Five pounds a week certainly beats what I was losing before surgery! Thanks again!

Trianni,
I'm a slow loser also and feeling the 3 week stall. I've only lost 12 pounds since my surgery on March 19th. I have noticed my clothes are fitting better. I'm trying not to compare myself to others, but I know it is hard sometimes. We can get through it.

 :)  It's frustrating, huh?  I'm in the same boat as you...my weight seems to be ticking off very, very slowly. I go to the gym almost two hours every single day and still--can't get the darn scale to move any faster.

But it WILL come off, I promise. And everyone above is right, you can't compare yourself to anyone else. Our bodies are all different and lose weight differently. You'll get there. You'll probably have weeks where the weight seemingly won't budge, and then you might have weeks where it just seems to fall off. 

Keep your chin up--it might seem like slow loss, but at least it's still loss! 

I am not sure where you got the expectation of losing 15 pounds a week, but that is NOT realistic!  I didn't lose 15 pounds in ANY one week anywhere along the way.

You are doing fine.  There a so many people who THINK they are a slow loser when, in fact, they are very average.  I think people look at the occasional very FAST loser and think that is "normal".

I am 2 weeks out tomorrow and I have gained like 10 pounds
