You are doing a lot of exercise and not eating a lot of calories. It might sound contradictory to weight loss but you do need to fuel that engine we call a body. Imagine how long your car can keep running on low fuel levels? Try eating a bit more and you may find the weight loss kicks in again.

Good luck

Hi. I am a December bandster too (12/5) and my total weightloss is 42 lbs (18 lbs lost preop and 24 lbs lost since surgery). I have not been exercising at all yet but plan to begin this month (had some knee issues). I would say that your 30 lb loss is great, especially since you are exercising so much -- I know you are tired of hearing it but you are likely building up muscle and they say the best weightloss is 1-2 lbs/week which is more like 8lbs/month than 20lbs/month.

You're doing great! K

Oh Lord! I was banded on December first and only lost 17 pounds! But lots of inches, clothes are loose and falling, but weight is changing a little I no loner have visable back rolls through shirts (love it)

I guess eerybody is diffrent ....Im starting to walk more during the day on my lunches, but I tell you I think the true thing is excersie!!!!! That will give you a big kick .....so im turning mine up a notch
