You're not eating enough. Up your calories to at least 1200. You can't workout @ 900 calories for 60 mins and lose. Not eating enough, even with exercise, will halt your loss.

Good luck!

Oh my God when I was pre-op I started on a low-calorie diet of 1,200 calories a day - when I was post-op and finally back on solids, I thought, oh, now that I am banded, I can start eating less, because I get full faster. I was on 1,000 calories a day, and the pace at which I lost slowed down tremendously, also putting me into a depression. Even after getting fills and going to the doctor and having them tell me my loss was good, I still was dissatisfied because of how much I lost on 1,200! So I upped my calories, and my loss has been great! I am working out more, so I expect that to be helping tremendously with the loss, though I think the upped intake definitely has a hand in it. Whatever you try, whatever works for you, just know that everyone's body is different, and while all of us have the same normal range BMI goal, our journeys should be tailored to what we need!

I'm thinking of upping my calories from 1200 to 1400. I have been working out a lot more and doing kickboxing as well as the gym and my weightloss has stalled. I may try it for a week and see what happens. Thing is I am full at 1200, so maybe I will add a protein shake or something so it kind of goes right through
