about september

today is the last day of september and this is the first month where i have experienced stalls in my weight loss.  i don't want to state that i am in a pattern of slower weight loss already because i am just now in my 5th month.  i have been able to count on losing at least 10 pounds each month so far and in september i lost 8 pounds.  i REALLY was hoping to count on a monthly loss of 10-12 pounds for the first full year after surgery.  enough complaining - my weight loss to date is 79 pounds!
