Banded 4/17/12- 22 lbs lost (260 lbs to 238 lbs). 3rd fill today (total 4.5cc in 10cc band)

So I've been at the same weight for a few weeks. I watch what I eat and try VERY HARD to stay under 1250 calories (Net). I've been working out at least 3 times a week including weight training. I've become more active... and I am seeing changes in my body. Clothes are fitting looser and I'm able to fit into some of my smaller clothes (started a size 20/22 and now on the verge of a size 18). I can see the definition in my legs and arms- I feel thinner but can't justify it with numbers.

BUT I'm not seeing the results on the scale. I know what everyone says... Don't listen to the scale... Don't pay attention to the scale... but I'm a numbers person... that's how I understand things and how I see results... This is frustrating. I'm hoping the fill I had today will help.

The exercising and weight training is making me more hungry and I'm fighting that off. My stomach growls at me and I ignore it but it's obnoxious.

Has anyone experienced this where they are seeing physical results but no results on the scale? And if so, when did you start to see the results on the scale? Is it something where the scale finally catches up to you one day?

you're awesome ! the weight didnt go on us overnight , and i guess it wont be coming off of us overnight either. sigh ..................patience is'nt one of my virtues either but im still happy when the clothes started getting loose, and i had to buy new pants, . then again, and then again, etc. Hold on to those nsv's and dont worry so much about the scale #. Its only a # ! Im no expert, but maybe this will help as far as food goes. My hubbys diabetic so almost everything we eat is diabetic friendly. He usually cooks dinner, i take dinner leftovers for lunch and stick to some thing healthy for breakfast and snacks as much as possible. Occasionly we have a little weight watchers ice cream in the house but thats it as far as junk food. We eat alot of baked fish, chicken, some red meat, ground turkey, and lots of fruit and veggies. any carbs are whole wheat . No white flour , just Diabetic friendly recipies. This has helped alot because whole wheat products "stick" in your stomach longer because they take longer to digest, so you're not hungry much between meals. Try a diabetic cookbook from the library and give it a try ! Hope this helps !
