Hello! I'm about halfway through my 5th month and I'm trying to stay focused on the end goal, but its hard not to focus on my weekly weigh in results. I feel selfish to complain because I know I'm ahead of schedule according to my surgeon. He was thinking I'd hit 100 pounds loss by 9 months, well I hit that by 5 months. My focus lately is on my physical body not the weight. I'm working out and watching my body shape change.

How is your weight loss changing? Last week I lost 3 pounds while this week it was 1.5 pounds. My goal is 2-5 pounds a week so I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't hit 2 pounds this week since I killed it at the gym at times burning over 1,000 calories in intense cardio classes.

I am at 49% body fat weight-loss but now I am loosing nothing. I have gone back to an all liquid diet trying to get past this long stall. I am open for suggestions, I'm very frustrated.

So I think it's definitely slowed down. I hit the 100lb mark too *YAY!* and I have an excel spreadsheet that I check in with my weekly weigh ins and it down the math of how much I lost during the week, how much I've lost over all, what's my avg weekly weight loss, and my current bmi.

I'm losing about 2-3lbs a week, but there have been 3 weeks its been .8lbs, 1.4lbs, and 1.8lbs. My weekly average is getting lower each time I update so obviously it's not 10lbs a week or 8lbs a week anymore. I notice that in my 4th and 5th month I lost about 12pbs total both months, so I'm guessing that's where I'm going to be hovering around. 10-15lbs a month. Which isn't as drastic as the beginning but I have about 32lbs to go as of this morning so if I keep the 10-15lbs it'll be between October/November that I hit goal. (8 to 9 months) and big picture wise? That ain't too shabby!

I noticed I lose a bit slower a week before my period, and then lose a little extra right before I start... Water retnention maybe? Idk.

I'm rambling now.

Bottom Line: We are doing amazing for being 5.5months out!

Don't forget you may be building some muscle while working out. That will add weight but not girth. I think we are all impatient and want to just lose lose lose. I didn't have much to lose - about 60 lbs - and I've even subtracted another 15 lbs to get to my goal weight - from 150 to 135 - but looking at myself in the mirror I don't see a difference. I can tell through measurements and going down 10 sizes in clothing. I can now truly understand how anorexic people see themselves as fat regardless of their appearance.
