    Yep - right there with you - i came to a complete halt a couple of weeks ago - and even, gasp gasp, started gaining - i was well under my recommended calories a day - i have beefed up the exercise routine but was not eating enough - the past two days i have eaten close to all my calories and have already lost a pound.

    Please - please check out the: "The answers to THE questions" topic thread - it is awesome and has some great information on the whole eating your calories thing

    Bottom line - eat you recommended calories or you won't loose the weight - especially if you are exercising..........hope this helps!!

    Just a suggestion - I understand with the band you might be restricted on the food intake but you possibly could try drinking more protein drinks?? They would have your nutrients as well as the calories. :flowerforyou:
