Narrative:

Approximately 2 miles prior to zzzzz intersection on the RNAV arrival; and due to weather being below CAT I minimums at ZZZ; we were instructed to hold at zzzzz intersection as published. By the time the controller had finished her transmission; we had passed zzzzz intersection. I was the pilot flying (PF); selected heading sel and began a right-hand turn to enter the hold directly while the pilot not flying (PNF) worked the FMC. Of note; the autothrottles were deferred on this flight (thus the necessity for CAT I minimums). I slowed the aircraft to 230 knots (226 was clean maneuvering) and ensured we were complying with the holding instructions while monitoring the PNF's activities with entering the hold into the FMC. At some point; I became distracted with the FMC and tried to help the PNF; completely forgetting that I had pulled back the throttles to slow down. We received stick shaker and I noted approximately 195 knots. I pushed the power up; disconnected the autopilot and followed recovery procedures. I don't believe we lost more than about 100 feet. Once we had the aircraft under control; we re-engaged the autopilot and continued in the holding pattern as instructed. There are well established procedures in place that ensure the PF is focused on flying the airplane; while the PNF manipulates the FMC as needed. I inadvertently disregarded these procedures in an effort to help with an unusual situation regarding holding at a point that had just sequenced in the FMC. Add to that that it was the end of a 7+ hour leg; with the autothrottles deferred; and I should've have been more aware of the possibility of this kind of error on my part. This is the kind of mistake that I always thought would never happen to me; and yet here it did; completely of my own doing. I will refocus my efforts on ensuring I'm focused on my primary duties as the PF and ensuring if help is needed on the FMC; to transfer control of the aircraft before diving into those issues.

Title: B767 flight crew reported becoming distracted with FMC reprogramming and mismanaging the thrust; causing the stick shaker to activate.
