Hit a slow down

Down 54 pounds 6 months after being banded I have not had a fill to date. Seems to lose more weight when I don't go to the gym. I seem to hit a weight lose wall when I ramp up my workouts has anyone else had this experience is it.

Yes, but it's temporary..like anything,when your body goes through the changes it tries to catch up and adjust....same as a stall, you loose weight because of a new lower calorie intake, then your body adjusts to it. So then you change it again........and .eventually you'll have to change it up again...go from walking to running for instance, and/or even less calories.

My body has adjusted and settled out...been at a stall for over 2 years now...but at the optimal place with a very low body fat % and a steady intake of food and exercise.

If I wanted to loose more. (I can't really) then I would have to change it up again...less calories perhaps...but hen it would not be fat I was burning, and that would be a true starvation mode.

Not the pseudo one people here use as an excuse to eat more.

Hey man...I am not losing weight on a regular basis right now. I was sleeved Sept 16 and dropped about 60 lbs in the first 2 to 2.5 months. I started hitting the gym in November and lifting weights. I think I'm swapping the fat with muscle. I'll go for 3-4 weeks and not lose any weight. Then..I drop like 10 lbs..and don't lose any more for a while again. However, my waist has gone from a 54 to a 48..and almost about to grab a 46. Shirts have gone from 4XL to 3XL and I even wear a few 2XL now. The reward from this...and how great I feel...I stopped worrying about the scale. I'm 6 months post op; down 105 pounds; have the sex drive and stamina of a 25 year old; and feel like one big stud right now!! Lol!!!

The weight will come off. I like the toning at the gym!
