My surgery was 2/7/19. I am down 55 pounds. I am 3 pounds away from my original goal weight of 160. I may aim for a goal of 150.

The BMI charts do not account for muscle mass. That is why it is inaccurate for atheletes. I think having a low Fat percentage is more accurate and healthier.

How do you decide on a goal weight? My doctors office has my goal as a normal BMI but i think that with my body type, that would make me too small. What do you do?

I was banded 10/21/10. I lost weight very well for the first 4 months then i just stalled. I never had a fill. the doctor and nurse didn't think I needed one because I was doing well. Well after months of struggling to lose a pound we decided to get a fill. Much to my surprise (and the nurse that has been seeing me since surgery) I had 4cc in my band at the time of surgery.!!! There was no notation in my file. Even the doctor forgot that he did it. Well I got an additonal .5 cc. It is so weird. I feel like i did after surgery. I hope this does the trick!!! I feel a bit hoodwinked that I did not know I had fluid in the band.

Does anyone use 4c brand water flavor packets. They are made with splenda. Taste really good!! But I really question the splenda. I drunk about 4or 5 packets per day. Is that too much. Could it explain a plateau?

I had body bugg / body media for over a month and my husband just found it last night. He is a bit dense : )

Dave How do I adjust the METs

I have been using the body bugg for 1 month. I love the information that it gives me but here is the problem. My average calorie deficit a day is 800-1100 calories and I have not lost any weight. I take in about 1100-1300 calories a day. I usually burn about 2100 callories per day without exercise. 2400 with exercise. I heard that if you are closer to your goal you can have a large calorie deficit. Is that true. I weigh 168 and my goal is 145. please help.
