Hello All. I was just in maintenance and saw a post there about someone who was
asking about what to expect in weight loss between 6 and 9 months.
I saw some great feedback there and thought I would bring it here since there
is so much more activity here.. ( i hope)

My 6 months is in 3 days. I guess you would call it my honey moon is over.
Will you please post your experiences in your weight loss between the
months of 6 to 9 months out... or even up to a year if you want?

It sure would help me and I am sure it will help others too.

I still have 28.2 pounds to go until goal. I just started the gym 2 days ago.
I always planned this at 6 months out. However, I have always walked or
did some sort of out door activity since surgery. Now its gym time!

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaank you!

Would love to hear responses too. Right now my weight loss has slowed....but I have also increased my workouts at Curves to 4x a week, instead of 3x....started before surgery with half work outs there 1 to 2 days a week, and have been increasing ever since.

thank you for sharing this and this is great to know about the last 10 pounds.
I can see how it would get harder with being on the lighter side in losing weight.
I totally have faith you will get there.

right now I am going through... OOOOoohhh the honey moon is over.
I am thankful to you all to help me with the mental part of it.

Its not over... its just beginning, I say! Positive... Positive Positive
and moving in the right direction is AWESOME!

Well, I have never been a fast loser, but I am still losing at almost 10 months out. In months 6 - 9 I lost about 20lbs. Considering I had one month where I lost only like 2lbs I think that is still pretty good. It has slowed down considerably, but I am still plugging along. I will mention though that when I added the gym to my exercise routine my weight loss slowed a bit there too. Don't want to hinder you because exercise is good for you, just wanted to mention it. I am completely confident in you that you will lose those 28lbs for sure. You are rockin it out!! Me on the other hand, pray I just make it to Onderland!

Excercise can slow weight loss...? Ugh! I suppose it makes sense if you're burning as much or more than you're taking in, your body probably starts to go on starvation mode alert. How frustrating.

well i just read that at first breaking down the muscles, what happens water is retained.
its jus****er weight and to keep at it and it will level.   so, mentally i am preparing for it
because I do want to break through it.

I dont think its a bad thing. actually its a good thing for us to tighten up.
losing over 83 pounds now... wow do i have the sag.

i can tell you this!   I am not winded at the gym and it feels great!!!!!
So, I will keep rockin the exercise....

its a good thing littleMissSunshine.
