3 1/2 months out and hit a stall....HELP!!!

[thenewme 0]

Ok sleevers....im getting really discouraged! I was sleeved Jan 13, 2011. I have lost 51 pounds and have hit a major stall about a week and a half ago and have not lost a pound since! I still have 30 more pounds to go! Need some positive advice please.

Hey, we were sleeved on the same day! I am charting my weight loss on graph paper in the bathroom and I swear it looks like a staircase...I'll lose a pound a day for four days and then nothing for a week...then another pound....another few days...a half-pound...

Anyway, you get the idea. In the end it comes out to 8-9 lbs a month for me, but not evenly over the days. Are you similar? When I did start losing more slowly after mushies, I started keeping really close track of calories, Protein, and carbs. I mean if I put a Cheerio in my mouth I wrote it down, and I found that I stop losing when my carbs are above 40 for more than 3 days. Try keeping track and see, and by the way, Great Job on the 51 pounds!

No advice-just good company. I'm pretty happy because I only have 11 lbs to go but STILL! I'm not eating much but I'm not limiting carbs so I could work on that. Check out my stair-step loss if you click on my ticker.

WOW, thank you for this post! I was sleeved January 12th. I have been bummed all day cause I weighed myself today, as I do each week and I lost....08 of a pound, not even a whole pound. What made it worse is this past week I was the most physically active then I had ever been since surgery so I was anticipating hitting a big number in my weight loss...not even a pound..ridiculous...

I read others posting these big numbers - losing 20-30 pounds a month and even more! I felt I was the only sleever that was seeing slow loss. I normally am pretty consistant with a 2-3 pound loss each week - which is not even half as much of a loss as other posts I read. So I truly do appreciate reading posts like yours to keep it all real.
