Don't want to jinx myself......

 

..... but I think I my body might have finally "got it".

    I am nearly 5 months post op and up until tthe last month or so I have been so frustrated and discouraged.

    My weight loss is still lower where I want it to be,  I am 21 weeks out (147 days) and down  34.3 pounds since my day of surgery.  14 pounds of that on the last 40 days or so.  I actually lost 3.2 in the last 8 days!!!

   I still have a long way to go, and I know that weight loss starts slowing down a bit at around 6 months (Yikes).  Since I started out so slow (20 pounds in the first nearly 4 months). I am hoping that will not be the case for me.

   I am just happy to see the scale, or, in my case, Wii go down.  (I had my hubby hide the scale, and have felt much better since then.  Even though I weigh myself every day or 3 I am no longer obsessesd with the number any more.)  What a relief!!!  

Good. If the scale becomes an obsession it's best to stay off it. Good job on the weight loss though! Wtg!

I am a slow loser as well and I even went up a pound this week - wrote about it on my blog HERE, just today. We just cannot beat ourselves up over it and look your on ur way again so that is so good to hear. Stay focused...

 Way to go!!!

Great Job!!!! Just keep doing the right things and it will work. Remember some people will take longer to lose the weight and it may slow down for most but if you lose slow then maybe you will just be steady
