I started on 9-15-03 at 498lb.
I figured to weigh every 2 weeks.
9-29-03 lost 28lbs. down to 470.
10-13-03 only lost 10lbs. to 460.

I am not sure what happened, my loss went from 14 to 5 lbs per week.
I see a lot of the members only loose 1-3 lbs per week, but i also see that they are not the same size as myself, so i figure my losses should be far greater.

Can anyone help with this or is this just the way it works.

Induction to close to goal weight could be a very long time at this rate, and I am not even sure what my goal is just yet. My doctors want me to do the surgery thing but i thought I would give this a try first.

I have found that exercise is not something a 500lb man is good at or even motivated to do, hoping that will change if I can get to be a sub 400lb man.

Thanks for the input.

Dave
