I was banded at the end of June I was 198, I don't know what I expected but it has been very slow I'm now 167 I'm a Cyclest I ride between 75 to 125 miles a week I'm Also running, my Dr said that my body is holding on to everything to much exercise and to little calories consumed so I need to slow down on the exercise crazy, one good thing I was shopping my daughter gave a pair of pants to try on from Jcrew and I loved how they fit when I looked they were size 6!!' I asked for a different pair thinking the were missed label but the other ones fit as good is just the scale that is moving very slowly

Not in my book!!! I did slowly gain once, as my body tone/shape changed, but then it all let loose and got me off a plateau like i jumped off a cliff.....

I'm no doctor, but I would increase your calories a little rather cut your exercise.

Not such a thing. Just make sure u are taking in enough calories to give your body what it needs to maintain heal and function. If u completely deplete it then it will hold on to whatever u are giving it!

With that amount of exercise you must make sure you are getting a lot of Protein to keep your muscles healthy. You may want to check out livestrong website, lots of info about things like this.

Also, remember that muscle weight more than fat, so if your leg muscles are in awesome shape which likely they are with the cycling, you should look more at your body fat %. Chances are you have low body fat and high muscle.

To me it sounds like you are in awesome shape and should just enjoy a size 6!!! You go girl!

You'll know if you're overtraining. You won't recover, you'll lack energy, not sleep well and you may get depressed too. Maybe your immunity will take a nose dive and you'll pick up annoying colds etc.

Agree with Jachut. Its called over training and it is very real.
