Renea77 84 Posted September 26, 2012 My Dr. told me that weight loss will slow by our six month surgiversary and not to expect huge numbers. So I didn't get upset or stress when I only lost 2 pounds this month. So for those who are stalled, be encouraged. We will continue to lose, even if its just 1 or 2 pounds in a month or longer, it's slow but it's still progress!! 2 lisalalani and Gi510 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertmom 297 Posted September 26, 2012 Renea77,my problem with this is that no one eating 800 calories should only lose 2 pounds per month.It just seems very abnormal!The problem is how to change this to speed up the metabolism again....and food along with exercise is the one way to do this.Food is fuel for the body and for fat burning.800 calories just is so little to basically maintain on! Anyhow,what choice do we have now anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyhow,what choice do we have now anyway?[/quote'] Hi, have you tried upping your calories to 1000? Are you getting enough sleep? I tend to stall when I don't get enough sleep so I choose a day, eat more carbs(not too many) , less Protein and I sleep as much as I can that day and it has helped me each time I stalled. It seems to shock my body back to losing, dont know if it will work for you, but it does for me. I also exercise 6 days a week, I take cycling classes and run 3-5 miles outdoors each day that I run and do some weight training. I have found many users on this site have posted tips for how they break a stall or what's helpful to help break a stall. I do understand your concerns too.....wish I had more info to help us all move forward and lose more:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

desert19 93 Posted September 30, 2012 Well, it finally happened. I took all my clothes belonging to the fat person I used to be and gave them away to a thrift shop. Now there is no going back to the way I was, hooray!!! I will miss some of those shirts though, I really liked them. But I like the new me a whole lot better. I have bought a few new things, but not many, because I am still losing. What a wonderful journey this has been! 2 SexySlim and Gi510 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SexySlim 107 Posted September 30, 2012 I need to get some bags ready to donate. I bought tons of clothes last weekend and they are still in bags because I have no room to put them. Out with the old, in with the new! Oh yeah I posted my 6 month pics. When I get back to my laptop I will post them here too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSG-LLL 5 Posted November 5, 2012 Hey March people, I could use some help. I was sleeved in March 2012. Absolutely thrilled with my decision. I'm down 70 lbs in the 8 months. I've never felt better. I've been on a stall for the last month and not really worried...but ready to get rolling again. Any thoughts from you on how to move out of this stall? I've actually gained about 8-10 lbs in the last month. Again, not worried or stressed about this...just looking for input. Thanks all VSG-LLL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danyelleb 386 Posted November 22, 2012 Hi March Peeps! I made goal today! I'm so excited to be able to say that I have lost 100 pounds. I can eat a lot more than I want to. I'm fortunate to have developed a passion for running. Since being sleeved, I haven't hit a stall that lasted more than three weeks. I'm so fortunate. I did notice that I had to increase the intensity of my running to get my weight to move. The last five pounds were really slow going. I hope that everyone is doing well! Happy Thanksgiving! -Danyelle 1 titania1215 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
