I so down these days I been in the 180s since march I am so not moving on the scale my diet is still a high Protein and I work out 4-5x weeks. Does any one have any tips on how I can get the scale moving again?

I was banded on 11-26-12 so I'm 5months out staring weight 253lbs pre-op weight 236lbs

My weight doesn't change much at all but the inches have and that looks good to me. I weigh myself too many times a day. If I only did it when I see my doctor I would be thankful. Is that your problem, the scale?

We just have to remember we didn't get fat in a few months so the weight doesn't come off fast either. Good luck.

Do you track your calories? That is the easiest way to make sure you're not eating too much (or too little) without realizing it. Weight loss is basic math: When you consume less calories than you burn, you lose. Tracking calories makes it easier to do that.

Yes I do track my calories but not as consist as I could be something to work on. I don't own a scale because I would drive myself crazy weighing myself ever sec of the day I only weigh weekly with my trainer

If you have a trainer than that's a great start!! If you think you're eating too much, be sure to get a fill. Being in the greenzone was and is still key to my success and many others I know. You're doing great! Keep up the good work! It will pay off...slowly but surely!

I totally feel you. I'm in the same boat. I was banded in December 2012 and started at 250 now I'm just hanging at 235. I had my third fill last month and finally started to meet restriction. I got a personal trainer and workout 3-4 times a week and I track my calories on MFP. I'm trying to stay motivated but I feel so disappointed.

These are all things I have read on here.

1 Increase or decrease calories. Not eating enough will slow your weight loss.

2 are you losing inches? If so you are losing.

3 Increase exercise or maybe change it up. That doesn't sound like the problem though.

4 Increase or decrease carbs.

when I started writing this there were about 20 things in my head and now I have lost it. Just remember everybody hits plateaus. As long as you are following your program you should start to lose again. You can do this!!!
