Do you ever feel like your not losing enough and will never make goal?

That is how i am feeling. This whole journey i seem to have more stalls than anything.. OR i will gain 5 lbs and spent the next 10 days losing those pounds i gained. Add in the fact i compare myself to people that had around same SW and surgery day time as me maybe a few weeks difference and i am frustrated! I feel like i may never make goal. The first 6 month are my prime time to lose the most weight so i hear. I will be 6 months post op on September 5th and i am only down 60.8 lbs since surgery day whereas others around my time/weight have lost 75+ lbs or people who started out larging than me are already smaller than me and once again had surgery around the same time. Seriously where did i go wrong? I will admit i haven't exercised as much as i should but i still do daily walking of some sort. I eat right, and always eat protein first. Is my loss going to be even slower after the 6 months mark.. somehow i cannot imagine how much slower it could possibly get. Sorry feeling sorry for myself tonight.

You will go crazy trying to compare your progress to everyone else.  We are all unique.  Since you think you're short in the exercise department, start changing your routine, do some research about different kinds of exercise, join a gym, start keeping a journal.....

Genetics play a role in how our bodies respond to our habits too.  It is a life time trip so keep trying but don't get frustrated.

This is your journey, you cannot compare yourself to others. All of our bodies are so different. You are doing great!

Wait a second. You lost over 100 pounds before you even had surgery and have lost 60 since? In my perspective, you're doing great! I am down about 70 pounds 6 months out but only lost 16 pounds preop so I had more " easy" pounds to take off. You're still averaging over 2 pounds/ week which is great.

Stop comparing yourself to other because for every person who has lost 100 pounds in the first 6 months, I suspect there's just as many who have lost 50 and just don't post.
