Has anyone lost a lot of weight (100+) slowly?

In April of 2009 I was 305 lbs. This morning I was 190.

It's been long with some sticking points. The biggest motivator for me was joining Planet Fitness in Sept of 2010. At that time I was down 42 lbs from my high. It's been steadish never to spectacular . There have been some major sticking points where I didn't change much at all in 3 months followed by me getting serious and making more gains. I can't remember when I joined MFP but it hasn't been that long. It seems like the last 4 or 5 months I've been loosing and gaining back the same 5 lbs. I just started eating low carb high fat (way high fat for me) in the last two weeks. Hoping the change gives me the impetus to loose these last 15 lbs that have been so hard to take off.

May 25th will be my 1 yr of logging food with MFP. I will weigh in on that day and I hope to be at 53 lbs lost...which is a pound a week....I'm ok with that. I think my body is adjusting with every pound. My biggest worry was saggy skin if I lost too quick so I opted for slow and steady. If I can continue to lose the pound a week for another year I will be happy. Enjoy your accomplishments and learn along the way. I'm sure that you have heard this before but you didn't gain it over night and you wont lose it over night either. Best of luck with your journey.

that's about 3/4th of a lb per week! that's not terribly slow I lost about a lb per week, so a little faster, until I got to 80 lbs lost, since then it's been about 1-2 lbs lost per month. good luck!
