General Question

Good morning, everyone.  I'm Barbara Ann and I'm somewhat new to the board.

I was banded two years ago this month.  In the six months following my surgery, I went to the gym and worked out in a moderate intensity about 3 days a week for approximately an hour each time.  Unfortunately, I only made it half-way to goal because the scale just stopped moving, I became discouraged, and stopped working out on a regular basis.  The good news is that I've maintained that original weight loss.

Now I'm determined to lose my remaining weight, so  I've been going to the club each day for at least an hour, and 20 - 25 minutes of that time is spent weight training.

The scale has hardly budged, considering how excellent my eating has been (I'm usually consuming around 900 calories a day) and how active I've been.

Is there such a thing as too much exercise? 

Sounds like you might need to up your calories for all the exercise you are doing. Your body is holding on to what it can because it is not getting enough to eat. Try bumping up the calories and see what happens.

Congratulations on maintaining your weighloss. That in itself is quite an accomplishment.

You need more calories , 900 is not enough. Up the cals and you are doing great with the workouts. Eat close to your bmr and let your workouts create your calorie defecit for the day.

 You need to lose more calories, but be easy on your body. Also, try to maintain a healthy diet. Meanwhile, congratulations for staying focus in this endeavor.
