scale is the same but clothes fit different!!!

my weight is currently at 259. i started out at 308! ive been banded since december 22nd 2010. im having trouble getting more weight off, but my clothes sizes are going down. my waist has gone from a 44 to a 38. and my shirt size has gone down from a xxl to xl. i fit in most brands so i know its not just certain brands. im happy im making prgress with my band and i also know that its a long journey too. im eating small meals that are good for me. ive cut out all junk food and sugars. i eat a little bread once in a blue moon, but thats about it. and im working out. i dont see the change in the mirror, but i see it when i put on clothes. so i guess im doing alright. any suggestions on how to up my metabolism????? thanks

Do you monitor your calories?
