Question:
How am I doing?
I will be 6 months out in a few days and have lost 81 pounds. Don't get me wrong I am very happy with the loss, but like so many others wonder it I will get to goal. I was wondering how others who started out around 5 2' 230 did their first year. oh ya I know I should not compare but can't help it. lol Thanks — Kim R. (posted on October 16, 2003)

Hi! I started out 5'1" and 241#. At six months I was down approx. 70
pounds, so I think you doing great! And your right, don't compare yourself
to others. If I had, I think I would be certifiable by now. I'm not out
10+ months, and down 95 pounds. So, it does come off, just more slowly for
some than others. Hang in there! Lisa

Alot of people compare, so don't feel bad about wanting to. I am 5'5 was
267 and at 6mo I had lost 103# and now at 12mo I have lost a total of 131#,
look how much it has slowed down and I only have 2 stinking pounds until
goal lol. You are doing really good actually, we are considered slow losers
and yet we lost fast :o) Good luck to you!

Hi Kim,
I just passed 6 months on Oct 7th, and I'm 5'2 1/2 down from 235 to 153
(-82 lbs). Sounds like you're doing great! I've noticed my weightloss has
really slowed down of late and per the weightloss calculators we should
only expect to lose 4-5 lbs per month from here on out :(

I was 5'2 and 248. I had lost 108 pounds by 9 months. However, I worked
out like a fiend, 5 days a week and I think that made a HUGE difference in
the amount of weight I lost. It seems like your on track. I hit my goal
weight in 10 months.
