As I said in the other thread, Deb.. I'm only down 40% and I'll be a full six months post op on the 29th.

If as you say in that other post is that 'most' lose 60 - 80 percent of excess weight in six months, that means there are those of us that fall either higher or lower than that as well. Do I wish were weren't on the slow losing end? Yeah.. but give up- NEVER. I'm still better off today than I was nearly six months ago and though this journey is taking longer than I want, I have to have faith that I'll get there.

I have faith that you can too.. we just get to spend a bit more time till we get to the REALLY hard part.. maintaining that loss.
