Weight Loss Plateauing

I am new to this Forum and website.  I had sleeve surgery in July 2014 with good results, and have lost a total of 55 lbs since, with about 30 more left to go. My weight loss now seems to have slowed to a crawl or stopped.  I am getting lots of exercise (eg 40-60 minutes of brisk walking/day) so my guess is that I am taking in too many calories.  Any suggestions on how to kick start my weight loss again?

You could try the "pouch test".  I'm only 12 weeks postop so I haven't tried it yet but from what I understand it's a great tool to kick start weight loss.

This looks like a great way to get back on track.  Thanks very much for the idea, it is much appreciated.

not sure if this really works or not since I haven't had to use it yet but it seems pretty popular on some of the other support forums.
