Numbers by the Month/Week?
For those of you that keep stellar records - I have seen you post numbers of pounds lost by the week/month. At the time, I was reading I was pre-op. Now at 6 weeks out I am really curious. Can you share your progress?
People talk about the three week stall (yup - more like the 3 week long trickle) - so I am curious to see numbers if it picked back up or if the first 3-8 weeks is a pretty good indicator of how you are going to lose.
I guess if I lose 2 pounds a week for a year, I will be at goal. Trying to focus on that, not the fact I would like to lose 10 a week - LOL.
I also am aware that I have "only" 115 total to lose and that everyone is different.
Month2/Jan: lost 8 lbs.
Month3/Feb: lost 12 lbs.
Month4/Mar: lost 6 lbs.
Month5/April: lost 7 lbs.
Month6/May: lost 8 lbs.
After that I lost about 2-3 lbs a month. I didn't really keep good track after that cause I started working full time. I was just happy to see a loss!

Your stats make me feel good. You are teeny tiny - and you just kept losing.
It seems so slow when you aren't eating a lot - but it all adds up eventually!!
its so true, like the first few months are so exciting to see the big numbers, and then it slows right down... but really even those 3 and 2 pounds months, it really does add up in the end until before you know it, you really are small LOL I can remember when it slowed right down, and I had only lost 7 pounds, feeling like id never get there at this rate, BUT I did! so I'll take a 2 pound loss over a gain any day! haha
