ValleyGirl Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Don't be discouraged. I gained five pounds before my first fill! As soon as I had a fill, it started to come off again. Sabrina:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfreeme Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 HI, First of all I am NO expert. But there are some things I have learned along the way that might help 1. Muscle weighs more than fat. ...Could you be gaining muscle with all the working out you are doing? A good way to tell is if your clothes are getting looser 2. Are you getting enough calories in to support your excersize habits? 3. Are you getting too many calories and thus stagnating? 4. Are you drinking enough water to support your body excersising AND flushing the fat out? 5. Are you close to having your period or are your hormones out of wack a bit? 6. Did you recently loose several pounds but now are stalled...Bodies hit plateus sometimes because they need to adjust 7. Do you have good restriction in your band? 8. Are the calories you are putting into your body healthy ones? These are all things I have learned to ask myself honestly by others that have the band as well as Dr's.. Most of the time if we ask ourselves honestly and answer honestly we find the culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 What do you mean by "trying to burn 1000-1100 calories"? If you are trying to actually burn that many calories via exercise each day you are defeating your weight loss, because you are only supposed to be taking in 1000-1200 calories a day. Your body has to have some spare calories to function on, otherwise it tries to hord the calories you are taking in. There is a technical term for this hording, but I cannot think of it at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulytangledgrl Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Do you mean 5 times per DAY or 5 times per week? If you are going 5x/day and burning up to 1100 calories that is way too much. Not sure if you meant you are only eating 1000-1100 cal per day? In any case, stay strong - - we all have plateaus. I am at one now again after just getting past a 2 month long plateau. Go figure. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfreeme Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 so can someone pls tell me ....this week I have burnd only 1000 calories per day Mon-Thur and I have been eating 1200 calories a day... what do u all think is it enought ?????? need feedback plssss If you are burning 1000 caloried per day you are working out TOO MUCH!!!! While I admire your dedication you are only giving your body 200 calories to live off of. That means all your body does for you in a day, breath, filter toxins, flush fat, think, produce saliva, dream, walk type....absolutely everything it does has to be done on 200 calories. This is simply not enough for your body to live off of. It might be going into starvation mode and holding onto the weight simply because it doesnt have what it needs. Try lowering your exericise routine. And remember you said you were just coming up for your period. Even when we do everything by the book our bodies are doing what they are suppose to do at this time...retain and prepare for a possible pregnancy. I am sure once your period passes you will more than likely see some weight loss. I wish you the very best...be good to yourself..not hard on yourself!

Smiley Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I agree with fatfreeme, you are working out too much in a day's time. I honestly lost weight faster when I wasn't working out at all (no, I am not recommending this). I now burn 200 - 250 on days I do the elliptical. Spin class days I burn about 300 calories and have no idea how much I burn on the days I do a video at home. You need to cut back significantly on your exercise. Do 30 minutes of cardio one day and lift weights the next. Change up what you do on each day such as elliptical on Monday, upper body on Tuesday, bike on Wednesday, lower body on Thursday and treadmill on Friday. Shoot for a few hundred calories burned and I think you will start losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
