So...what's good?

[Gordon129]

Hello there! I am preparing myself for a visit to the Dr in the AM. What's a good 3 month weight loss total?

I know I've been told everyone's different, but I had surgery on 6/20 and am about 55 pounds lighter, is that good? Can anyone share their experience with me?

I would be thrilled to bits with such a weight loss. Well done and congratulations!

55 lbs in 14.5 weeks is almost 3.8 lbs/week. I'd say that's pretty damn good. Mazel tov!

Thank you for your support!! I went shopping with my daughter today. I took size 26 (my starting size)into the dressing room and the woman who works there looked at my like I was insane. After over an hour....I walked out of the dressing room with size 20!! I haven't been this excited in a long time! I enjoyed shopping today...that hasn't happened in years!

I was sleeved 3 days BEFORE you and am "only" down 35 pounds, so in my book - YEAH THAT IS GREAT! Too cool!

way to gooo that sounds like a lot of loss - tell us what do you do on a daily basis?

[Glock]

Sounds good to me. We get too anxious to lose it fast sometimes. I am as bad about it as anyone. Pre-op. my thought was "If I only lose 1 lb. a week, I'll lose 100 lbs. in 2 years" - of course, that is just waaayy too slow for me now! Last week my Dr. told me for men 12-15 lbs. a month was typical. I can live with that.

55 lbs in 3 months is amazing no matter how you count it. Congratulations on confusing the saleslady! I bet that felt great

[Toni Williams]

That's great!!! I'm 3 months out and down 40lbs. Keep up the great work!!!

[Gordon129]

OK!!! So I went to the Dr this morning! I am down a total of 57 pounds, my A1C is down from 6.6 to 5.7, total cholesterol is 149, BP 118/80 and I have lost 29 inches off of my body! And I won't forget the size 20 pants!!! I'll try to figure out how to post a picture this weekend! Thanks for all of the support! You guys are great. I would do this again in a minute...I feel great!!

I think it sounds like an amazing success! I know it isn't going to be an overnight loss but one of the things that excites me most is that with the surgery I'll have a tool to keep it off after I have lost the weight. I have lost weight so many times before but always gained it back so I think just knowing that every pound I lose I will be in a much greater position to actually keep it off. Therefore, if I only lose 1 or 2 lbs a week I think that is 1 or 2 lbs I'll NEVER SEE AGAIN!!! THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL TO ME!!! WAY TO GO!!! Keep up the great work!!

i love what you wrote mimi - like the thing we have to remeber is ths is a journey and not to get caught up in the end game. in doing that we miss out on all the small mini successes along the way that are also key to celebrate. i am sure hat is key to these ladies meeting the ultimate goal too - enjoying the ride. when i dieted before i was so stuck on my goal that i wasnt taking the time to learn about my body and what worked and what didnt - i was always living in a state of not good enough - like oh lost 10 lbs need to lose 20 so not enjoyingthe little stuff along the way that is one thing i am trying to do different here too love to all you guys
