Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I've lost 129 lbs and am still in a size 12/14. To have lost 80 lbs and already be a size 8/10, it seems that you were smaller than, say, a super obese person at the time of GBS. My Dr. told me that even though a patient may need to loose 100 lbs, the loss is usually slower in smaller people. Also, working out like you are (fantastic!!) is undoubtedly building muscle, which weighs more than fat. It's more about how you look and how your clothes feel rather than what the scale says. You are doing everything right. Keep it up!!! You are an inspiration. 11/18/03 284/249 preop/155 today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I finish with the weight lose? I am almost 8 months and I have only lost 80 pounds. I say only because I feel like I have done everything to the T including excercising 5-6 times a week for an hour and ten minutes. I follow the eating plan protien first, then 2-3 tablespoons of veggies. I try to eat between 600-750 calories a day. I haven't eaten sugar, bread, potatoes, rice, pasta in 8 months. I read the boards daily to look for information. I am happy to see so many people successful. I read people losing 80 pounsds in four months(and they do not weight more, many are around my weight and height). I started at 256, 5ft 2 inches. I am angry, disappointed and mad. I'm happy about the 80 pounds, I wear a size 10 confortable and can wear a tight 8 but I do not get it, why isn't the weight coming off. Please repond, I need help!!!

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Have you tried the Protein Train that sounds like it might jump start you.
