Slow Weight Loss at 16 weeks....................................

I've looked through the library, but I wanted to ask you guys what you think. I'm 16 weeks post-op Friday 5/23/03. I've lost 52.5 pounds (started out at 294). Please don't get me wrong, I'm very excited about this weight loss (please no bashing me), but it seems I'm losing a lot slower than most people my size. I keep up with ladies that had the surgery at the same time, and I'm the only one out of about 11 of us that has lost the least amount of weight and it's behind them at least 10 pounds or more. I do take Synthroid for Hashimoto's disease and I'm on 20mg of Paxil. I had my thyroid checked a month ago and the TSH is still in the normal range. I work out 3 times a week at curves, and get in all my water. I could eat more protein I'm sure, but I'm probably only averaging 800-1000 calories a day. What do you guys think? I'm scared I'm not going to reach my goal. My goal is 140 and I'm 5ft. 4 in. Thanks guys!
