Hi my fellow sleevers,

well I am 3 months and 10 days post op and 2 oz short of the BIG 50 lbs. lost. Yeah, I am a slow loser, but the weight is coming off. Another 12 pounds and I can see ONEderland on the horizon. 

So happy to see that it is all worth while even with the frustration that we all go through on and off and the doubts that we go though sometimes.

Hope all of you are doing great and have a wonderful Sunday. Stay strong and positive my friends.

Group Hug,

Rita

Congratulations!!!  I do NOT think 50 pounds in 3 months, 10 days is slow at all!  think of before surgery.  What woud you have given to lose 50 lbs?  How long would it have taken?  Be proud of yourself, you are doing great! mail

Feels great doesn't it?? Don't look at the correlation between time + wt loss... look at the actual achievement you accomplished and congratulate yourself.....I have been fighting a 2 lbs battle to take me to onederland, then I remind myself, " so what? 1 day or 1 week...it WILL happen"

After all it took 25 years for me to grow to 245lbs, reaching my goal of 140lbs in one year sounds good to me.....

50# in 3 months is far from slow, my dear. Quit comparing - your speed of loss is your speed of loss.

I'm hovering on the brink of Onederland myself. There WILL be fireworks.

Hey there, fellow Nov. sleever!  

I'm sneaking up on Onederland too, I haven't set any timeframe for it, because I'm sure that I'll get to 201 or so, and just hover there until I lose the extra weight by pulling out all my hair in frustration!

Hang in there, and we'll get to Onederland in our own time (which is never quick enough, is it?).

See ya there!

200.6# at the mo. If my hair wasn't already so thin I probably would be tugging at it. As it is I just focus on staying on plan. I know that 1 day soon I'll be rewarded with a weight that starts with a 1.
