Is Anybodys weight seem to be at a stand still or dropping slowly now?

Hi All,

I was banded 31 December 2008 and have lost 52 lb, so I went from 256 to I am now 205. In the beggining the weight was dropping like you would not believe, then it stared to slow down, so I went from dropping 8-10 lbs a month to now 3 lbs a month. I have also been working out like crazy too. My doctor says I am still doing well and should not worry about it. Has this happened to anyone? and I doing something wrong will the weight start to drop fast again.

Also, I am also 9cc in a 10cc band and do not feel like I am at my "sweet spot". Does anyone have any advice...PLEASE. is there anything more I can do to drop the lbs. I know by me working out all my fat is turning into muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. I'm just confuses. I am nervous because I jist do not want to be FAT ever again.

please help

1st....congratulations on your success!!!

2nd....'ditto' on the plateau of loss. My own goal is still 30# away, and has not budged for a couple years. My internist believes I may be at my "maximum weight loss" even though I still am around 35 BMI.

Frustrating, yes. Irritating, yes. Annoying, yes.

Morbidly obese? Not any more.

And every day is a blessing, finding more things I ~can~ do not possible before.

Still, there is hope for continued decrease. I'm working to get to size 40 pants....down from 58 preOp. I'm stuck in the 42/44 slot and can't seem to break free.

Happy holidays.
