I am not sure where exactly I fit in on these boards.
- I am a revision
- I started at 235.5lbs (at 5'0)
At my last appointment they called me a slow loser. I thought I was doing great. I have lost 68lbs - my surgery from band to bypass was in May 2017. My weight loss has definitely slowed down a lot.
I work out A LOT. I actually enjoy it. Working out is the easy part for me. I do cardio every morning at 5am and then in the evening I do some type of strength training, High intensity training (bootcamp style workouts)
I feel great other than I really want to lose another 30ish pounds. My measurements are the same as when I was 155lbs (so about 12lbs smaller than I am) which leads me to believe my years of working out and weight training have paid off.
I am so worried that I am done losing. I am approaching month 9 and just so discouraged.
I track everything and lately I am soooo hungry in between snacks and meals - I was trying to research what calories should look like at this time and everyone said something different (I was seeing a lot of 900 cals and I am closer to 1000) and AHHHHH.
Help meee....
also I saw this and was wondering how accurate it might be
It's not POUNDS, it's PERCENTAGES!
by Carolyn M.
Two people, both 6 months post-op. One has lost only 63 pounds and feels bad about her "slow" weight loss. The other has lost 96 pounds and thinks she's doing great.
They are both wrong.
Person A had only 105 excess pounds, so she has already lost 60% of her excess weight. She is actually ahead of the game at 6 months out and is on track to lose it ALL.
Person B had 265 excess pounds. At 6 months out she has only lost 36% of her excess weight. At this rate, she will end up retaining 28% of her excess weight, enough to keep her in the obese category.
See what I mean? Don't compare pounds to pounds, that's like apples and oranges.
Percent of excess weight lost: pounds lost divided by total excess pounds
Use a BMI of 25 as a goal weight
On track to lose it all is 25% lost after 2 months, 50% after 6 months, and 80% at one year.
Please note: These are averages. Your mileage may vary.
