How do u stop from losing once u get to your goal weight ?

Besides not getting anymore fills..

I am not there yet, but have been told that your body weight plateaus out when it gets to the proper weight.

It just kind of happened naturally for me. My weight loss just got really really slow. It took me a year to lose the last 10lb! And then I didnt really lose anymore. Occasionally I lose some and occasionally I gain it back.

Nobody can keep up the sort of strict eating you tend to do in the first year or two with the band - I've kept up the exercise, but I definitely eat more. There's just more treats, less thought about going out for a meal or having a few drinks etc. Those calories (for me anyway) added up to enough to maintain my weight. I find when I log and cut out the nibbling I still do lose weight - so if i were a perfect eater who only ate healthy foods three times a day, I would need to unfill a tiny bit.

that said, i was an eat less move more loser - no low carb, no logging, no cutting out of any particular foods, and I was never tight. I ate 1200 to 15.0 a day to lose on average - just ballpark. If you're an 800 calorie a day strict rules dieter, then you might find you need to unfill to stop losing. Me, i think I learned how to handle food in a real life way outside the security of a "diet" by doing it my way but everyone's different

Hi all,

I had had to go for a unfill to stop losing. I found it hard to find a balance and switching gears mentally. I am think I have that balance now. I go up and down 3-4 lbs. Exactly like Jachut said I get to enjoy more things. I have allowed a few more carbs and since the unfill I can eat more normal and also have almost no acid reflux. Loving life!

Cheers,
