So, I'm 5 months out as of tomorrow and I absolutely LOVE my sleeve....it's the best thing I've ever done for ME!!! That said, as of this past Friday I hadn't lost even a 1/2 pound since I hit the 4 month mark. I've been exercising EVERYDAY as I'm training for my first triathlon at the end of June. I'm really happy with my progress and I try really hard not to allow the scale to be my only measure of success.

That being said, I've still been frustrated for the past couple of weeks because this stall has been longer than the others and I have not had a change in my measurements.

So, on Friday, I decided to break out LilMissDiva's Boot Camp. I started it on Saturday morning and have followed it to the letter....even drinking the one gallon of Water which is hard for me as I typically drink Powerade Zero. So, low and behold, I got on the scale this afternoon and I'm down 4 lbs!! The great thing about this is that it's not torturous!!!

Anyway, just wanted to put it out there for anyone trying to figure out how to break a stall....give it a try, it works!!! I'm only at the end of day two and I've already broken my craving for carbs and salt (I had been cheating a bit on salty carbs, like chips).

Thanks LilMissDiva!!!!

Wow, good work!

Looked at the plan, it sounds pretty reasonable. For some reason I thought it was the same day as the 5-day pouch test, which involves liquids only for a period of time - I'm not a fan of that and it's definitely very difficult to handle. This plan sounds like a much better approach to jump-starting your weightloss and getting junk food cravings out of your system.

I had a 3 week stall before and I did it and a I left my comment under her boot camp thread It broke my stall as well. Is a great plan =) I am glad it worked for you as well
