I was banded 03/07 I've lost 46 lbs so far..well As of two weeks ago I wasn't really working out, why work out when the weight was coming off? I was averaging 1.5lbs per week. Well I started a 60 day walk challenge Sep 1st (see Fitness and exercise) becuase I was dealing with a 2 week plateau in August. The scale was not moving below 236 lbs. Even though I started the challenge, for the 1st two week in Sep I did not work out (I blamed it on my period lol). Well last week I made a commitment to working out for 5 days straight heck if I stated this challenge it would be really messed up if I did not complete it. I weighed in this morning at 230lbs which means I lost 6lbs in 6 days. If I wasn't walking 4 miles every morning I believe that the scale would have said 235-234lbs. What I'm trying to say is, you don't have to work out to see results, but you do have to work out to be a healthier you. It really just depends on what you goals are. Do you want to just lose weight or do you want to be a healthier you. And with exercise comes better results so don't just settle for 1.5lbs when you can "Earn" more. Just my opinion. Good Luck
