Yeah, but I started at about 100 lbs more than you if I'm reading your ticker right.

If I weren't too sleepy to do math (only awake bcuz of muscle cramps.. about to go back to bed for a nap b4 starting the day) I'd bet your loss is about the same rate.. based on starting weight.

I was told to expect 1 - 2 pounds per week.

I lost faster than that at first and slower than that after about 8 months

Overall, I lost 135 pounds in 18 months (284 down to 149)

I lost quite a bit in the first few weeks then months with little or nothing. On my third or fourth visit to the surgeon, I had continued to lose, but it was only about one pound within a six week period. He then suggested I see a nutritionist who promptly put me on 1200 calories with only small results. After about three week, she then put me on 1000 calories a day with 60-70 grams of protein and low carbs. Since then, I have lost two pounds in two weeks, about one pound a week.
I am taking water aerobics, walking at lunch and on weekends at home as well.
Losing weight with the band is so individual, but counting calories, keeping carbs low and protein high and exercising seems to work for many of us.
I have to say, I could have never accomplished any of this without the band!
Good luck,

Best,
