Makes a HUGE difference. I started (surgery date) at 261 and my weight loss has seemed so slow to me, but I started looking at percentages. One friend here lost 100 pounds the first 6 months, then 50 the next six months, and is losing a little bit still, but not nearly as fast. I was thinking - LORD - I'm not even close! Until I reallized I had lost 65 pounds the first 6 months, and want to lose about 32 over the second six months. Well - it seems to be right on track when you look at it that way, no?
And of course, everyone is different. I have realized, I am not really going to be a goal in one year person - it may take me 18 months to get to my real goal. (My goal listed here is my one year goal, and I may or may not make that) but I don't care. The scale is going the right way - I look and feel better than I have in 20 years and I know I'm healthier than I've been in ages. I do my job, and the weight will come off. Relax...
