Hello All, :thumbup::cursing:

Kinda have-n a hard time, just looking at everyones lose and i feel down !!! It has been 7 mnth's and i am down 50 lbs but lots of inches. Can any one help me with some tips. I work out 4-5 days a week cardio and strength training, I just don't know what's going on. I even count my cal each and every day, SO far i have had 4 fills and i am what you would call at my sweet spot. Why am i not droping the pounds like everyone else??

H.E.L.P M.E. please

as long as the inches are coming off the weight will follow...

now that is easily said and not so easy to hear i know.

i have been banded for 3 weeks now and have slowed my weight loss to almost a standstill but i also have no fills either that will come next week.

you are probably replacing the fat with muscle and muscle weighs more than fat.

so as long as the inches are coming off i wouldnt worry to much as the weight will follow.

Remember 50 off is better then 50 on!!! Not everyone drops it fast, you read it all over the board. I think your doing great because you are heading in a better direction then if you were doing nothing! You are on a journey to a better life! Your doing great <Thumbs up>

HI Chinadoll,

Certainly with your exercise, you're going to be building muscles - and loosing inches.

But, my questions are:

What do you eat?

How much Protein do you get?

I've heard others say you need to eat enough calories so that your metabolism doesn't shut down, but not too many, obviously.

I eat between 800 - 1200 generally, 100 - 300 occasionaly more, but usually not less. I get between 60 to 80 grams of Protein each day.

I haven't gotten to my sweet spot quite yet, but I'm close with my fill yesterday.

Keep changing up your diet and exercise to see what's going to work for you!
