Hello its been a while since I have been on here just checking on my Sept 2010 sleevers to see where everyone is. My weight loss has slowed down a whole lot, I have only lost 51 pounds since then, I was hoping for a little bit more. I am eating and drinking more so I have to watch myself. Any tips on jump starting my loss back? What are you doing to maintain and not regain at this point? Thanks for any help and tips.

Best wishes.

I heard some people are doing the 5 day pouch test to jump start their loss and remove the carb demon.

So at 51 pounds, what % have you lost? What did you want to lose? What are you doing/eating/drinking?

Not sure of the % I think I want to at least get down to 180. Food is usually good stuff not all the time. I am trying to increase my activity some though haven't been very good about that.

% is found by #lost divided by #want to lose times 100.

For example I have lost 75 lbs and want to lose 150lbs so that I 75/150x100= 50%.

So at 4 and1/2 months I have lost 50%.

The stats for loss expectations match percents better than pounds lost.

Hope this helps.

It all still seems to come down to volume consumed. I am one of the unfortunate souls who got hungry immediately. It's tough, but I have just tried to embrace the constant hunger and I make a choice not to give in to it. I am consuming about 750-800 calories a day and have been a consistent loser. I went on vacation in Feb and figure I was eating more like 1000-1100 calories a day and I gained 2 pounds that week. That was a reality check for me. I know where I need to be to lose. Certainly shaking things up with a change in routine helps, but you need to find that place where you will lose.

Do you log everything you eat in Facebook or something like that? That keeps me on top of my Protein and calories and carbs pretty well.
