Almost 2 Years! HELP ME PLEASE

[Avi 2]

Hey guys my name is Avi. i had gotten my Sleeve on nov 1 2011 at that time i was 400 pounds and now i am 200 pounds so yes its a big accomplishment and it was alot of hard work but now i have a huge problem. I have not had any weight lost for the past 2 months!!!! Yes thats right 2 months and its driving me crazy and its annoying. I try not to eat more then 900 calories my carbs i keep at about 60 to 70 grams per day. I do eat and take in plenty of Protein and for my exercise im doing boot camp ( recently started) and gym everyday for about 1 hour and 30 mins and it usually the treadmill elliptical or the bike i try to switch it around. So i really dont know what else to do??? Please help me someone!!!! I know the sleeve is suppose to help with weightloss but if im doing the same thing and exercise should i still be loosing??? its basic math right u eat then u burn more and it should come off but its not!!!! I really hope someone can help ... Thank you

May sound strange but you may want to up your calories if you can. With you working out as much as you say you are you may not be getting enough. I would try to up to like 1200 for a few weeks and see what happens. Cant hurt right?

Thank you so much!!! i was actually reading that somewhere and im going to give it a shot. Maybe my body is just getting use to the whole fact that im not eating to many calories so its holding on to it.

Exactly. And I understand it is hard to wrap your head around needing to eat more but I am willing to bet it will help!

First, congrats on ur success! 200 lbs is a huge deal! I was gunna say the same thing about upping ur calories, especially if ur doing bootcamp. It's pretty strenuous. Also, u might just be at a plateau. If this is ur first one, congrats. Thats amazing uve gone for 2 yrs without one.

Onederland is right around the corner. It'll be amazing when u get there!

Agreed--try at least 1200 calories. I know this sounds counter-productive, but maybe slow down the workouts for a while (30 min. per day instead of 90) to see if that helps. (Especially if 1200 calories is difficult for you.)

Try gettin off the cardio and on to some strength training.

Wow you've been doing a fantastic job losing 200 lbs..... Try upping your calories for a few days and decreasing your calories after the increase. Keep your body guessing......It works.......Keep it up. You might look into the 5:2 diet plan also.......

Like others have said, try upping the calories. Ive run into the same issue and when I did I would up my calories (adding a handful of nuts here and there (good fats) or eating more protein). It worked every time for me.

Ms. Skinniness~

Did you use the 5:2 diet to get over plateaus? DId you change your exercise on those 2 "fasting" days? You are so close to your goal! Just hoping for some tips to your success.

Thanks!

i really only walk a few days a week. I eat basically high Protein with few carbs. I do the eat 5 days regular at about 1300 calories and the 2 days I limit my calories to around 600 calories. It's suppose to be 500 calories but I struggle with staying at 500. It does get the weight too. I have plateaus and I reminded myself I was losing inches and by body needed a rest. I am very happy where I am.
