I was sleeved 3/9. 7 months ago today and after losing 60, I have not lost a lb in the last month. I heard about the 6 month honeymoon period but this is ridiculous! I have 15-20 lbs to get to goal Off to zumba to try and sweat off a few ounces!

Weight loss does slow down the closer you get to goal. But your body is still redistributing your left over weight. Congrats on your success and keep it up!

How tall are you? we are about the same starting weight with the same goal. But I am under 2 weeks sleeved. Are you measuring? I bet you look great. I have read that sometimes upping your calories can help your body release weight. Don't give up!!

I was sleeved Feb 28 so that is about 7 months ago and my weight loss has really slowed. I think the closer we get to our goal weight the more our body wants to hold on to it.

I am 5'6. I started at 226. I'm 166 today and wearing a size 10. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled. I just want to get to my goal of being under 150. People START diets at 166. I just want to get there already!!!

You will get there plus more weight loss. I'm 5'6" and I'm at 146 lbs right now and I'm big boned (I think). Keep it up and can't weight for you to join me.

I'm in the same exact boat, ddfinn. Sleeved on march 7, have lost 60, and stuck on 159. Up a pound, down a pound, for the last month. Starting boot camp tonight. I want to get to 140.

I guess there is nothing to do but keep plugging away! I need to find the link to lil missdivas boot camp!

I would also suggest really concentrating on protein. I have found I stall big time and have to jump state it again with some high protein days.

I was sleeved on 3/12 and I too have been stalled. I have not been eating all the protein that I'm suppose to though. Also I have not been eating breakfast or getting an entire 8 hrs of sleep every night I suppose I have to work on these things and maybe lose a few more lbs monthly. I've been an extremely slow loser from the beginning but this is ridiculous.

I was sleeved 3/19/12. Lost 48pds. Ive only been loosing an average of 1 pd a week since June. I really think my thyroid needs to be ckd again. Maybe my dosage is wrong. Its been sliw from day 1!

I was sleeved Feb 12th and stopped losing about 2 months ago. Started at 315lbs and got down to 205 and sat there for at least a month. Within the last month I have gained 10lbs back, I'm 215 now and last week started hitting the gym again daily but no change yet. I am also a non stop grazing on chips, crackers, pretzels, CARBS. I got so used to doing nothing and losing weight that I just stopped working out and eating the right things. I am almost back on track again. Just have to kick the carbs. Did any of you have any luck with boot camp??

I agree with ToddG. We get really comfortable eating what we want and losing the weight really fast in the beginning. I dropped my first 48 lbs effortlessly in the first 4 months. I've been up and down the same few lbs for 3 months, but I have lost inches. Just this week I went back to basics and tightened up my diet. I'm only sticking to protein shakes, chicken, fish, veggies, and some fruits. The last few lbs will be slow to get off and we have to work for them! Good luck don't give up!

It is so easy to get stuck in a vicious cycle of eating carbs. Our weight loss comes off very rapidly in the beginning and then slows down. Our old habits sneak back in and sabotage our weight loss. Now if your talking about LilMissDiva's The Basic Bootcamp Diet, then yes, it does work. It helps us kick the cravings for carbs and restructures our eating back to basics. I have first hand experience where this has helped me. In fact just recently I've lost some weight using it. I hope this helps.

My weight loss is also slowing way down as I move closer to goal, there are times I have veered off in "Carb-Land" and I stall out until I get motivated enough to get back on track. I am certainly there right now, so this week has been better, I planned and prepared meals ahead of time, made eggface's little egg-cupcake bites and I've been having them for breakfast or lunch, bought some salami & cheese, olives, salad stuff, chicken that I poached and then shredded for chicken salad with low-fat mayo, finely chopped celery and onions and a few cashews. The chicken salad is very filling and high protein. I do have to keep reminding myself, eat the protein FIRST and let myself feel the restriction, then there isn't room for the bad stuff. I go for my six month check up the first Friday of November, really trying to get a few more pounds off before then, but all in all, I am happy with my weight loss, it is more than I have lost in my entire adult life, and I have good energy. It is certainly a challenge for me but I am down for the long haul !!

I'm in the same boat guys! Sleeved March 11 and down 72 lbs. Stalled for 2.5 months from July until October 5th. Actually gained 10 lbs during my stall (guess it's not really a stall). Anyway, last week I dropped 6 lbs and got down to 159. Now I'm back up to 161. It's so frustrating. My goal is 155 and I wouldn't mind getting down to 145. I just want to make my first goal weight then focus on the next goal. I'm so close and I work out 5-6x a week, get all my protein and water but the scale just isn't giving me the results. Luckly I also take measurements so I know I'm losing inches but still! I'm glad I'm not alone. By the way, I'm 5'6" and big boned and would love to be wearing a size 10 but I'm still in a 13/14 but I did just buy size 6 underware and size medium jogging pants so it was a nice little NSV!!!
