I had my band for 3 1/2 months now and I feel comfortable now with it. Well now that I learned how to work with it I don't seem to be losing any weight. At first I was walking on the treadmill at home and doing the Wii fitness but now I've joined the gym and I'm watching what I eat. I really think I'm at a good spot with my last fill because I'm not hungry as much. I don't get on the scale daily just on Mondays because I trying to get to 174lbs by Memorial Day. So do anybody have any suggestions on what maybe the issue or what I could probably do to start loosing weight again????

What are you eating? Perhaps you don't have as much of a calorie deficit as you might think?

The best thing you can do is record what you're eating in something like fitday.com. You may find that you're eating too many calories or too many carbs...and you can't just go by what the charts say are acceptable calories for your age, height and weight because your metabolism has a lot to do with how many calories you actually need and that's not something the charts even deal with.

Once you know how many calories you're really eating, then you can tweak from there until you're losing but remember...you have to be consistent. If you have 2-3 good weeks and then one week where you fall apart and blow it...or 4 good days out of the week and 3 bad days...you'll like not lose any weight because it's all balancing out. Success takes consistent commitment.
