You got me to thinking, in another 7 pounds I will have lost 90 percent of the weight I need to lose! I have gone from 304 to 177. A normal bmi for me would be 152. I have lost like you by working with my lap band.

Love your post! I feel like that some days about exercise, but I know if I do not drag myself out to the gym I will return to old habits and being down 130 pounds makes it all worth it!
@ formerly fluffy I am yet to be at good restriction, it takes will power to say no to foods we should not eat and knowing when to stop eating what we do. I have learned the difference between being satisfied and being full.

could it be that you are trying to eat to much? listen to your body and eat slowly, your band will let you know when you are full. Also knowing the difference between wanting more and being satisfied is another big one. It has took me a good six months to realize "hey I do not need to finish this, I am satisfied!"
Good luck

Lee this journey takes time and a lot of work on our parts. I have worked hard to get to where I am and know my work is paying off. Four months is not long at all, some bandsters take years to lose their weight. I all depends on how you use your tool. Give yourself time and follow the program. You can do it
