2 years out

Hello is there anyone put there that is 2 years or more post sleeve? If so I need help. I'm stuck at 75#. I have 30 more to go . I have been cross fitting for the last 1 1/2 years 3 days a week and cardio 3 other days. But the weight won't come off. Any suggestions?

I am not two years out, but find your comment about cross fit versus weight stall interesting.

I also cross fit, but do it for 5 days a week and find that it requires a lot of eating to keep my weight in range (8 meals a day) . A lot of that eating is protein. If I do not eat at least 2000 calories a day, I will drop a few pounds a week. And with that goes some muscle. So I am pretty protective of eating enough.

I am going to drill you with a few questions. I hope you do not mind. :)

How does your diet look? Are you eating paleo or zone style? Something else?

Do you take 2 rest days a week (important -repair and build time)?

Do you sleep enough at night (7-9 hours - repair and build time)?

Do you drink at least 100 oz a day (good in order to flush toxins from working out)?

How intense are your workouts (1-10)? Not every day can be 10, but you should consistently feel like 8-9.

Are you participating in as many different WOD as you can, not just the ones you are good at? New activity is important for your body to not get complacent.

If I were to ask about your WOD times and intensity, would you consider yourself pushing yourself to get the best time you are able to and to the point of exhaustion?

If you are able to, I would just do cross fit 5 days a week and cut out the other cardio. Just my opinion. It will give you better results if you can physically and financially handle that. Along those lines, I noticed when I switched from 2 days CF / 3-4 days cardio running to 5 days CF, my weight loss (-20#) and body composition (-6 bf %) changed quickly (took about 2 months). Yes, I am sore all the time, but that comes with pushing through it day after day. Be sure to do a lot of daily mobility so your body will cooperate over time (I do 30+min of mobility a day, most of it is actually at home).

Sorry for all the questions. Answering these might uncover something important that will answer your question to weight loss stall. I still am fairly new at it myself,so do not think I know everything. Everyday I am learning new techniques or new exercises.
