How to get myself out of a plateau?

Can anyone recommend something to kick-start the loss again? How many weeks are you talking about here? A couple of weeks isn't a stall anyway, it's your body saying "Ok, lemme get used to this." You don't mention if you exercise now or not. If you don't, start. Especially do some weight training. Oh, btw, great results! Congrats! Hi, sorry I wasn't more specific. I'd say about 3 weeks of plateau. For the last 3 months I've been doing crunches, pushups, and work with free weights regularly. three weeks isn't a plateau. the last pounds are always the hardest to get off; you'll probably need to eat less and/or exercise more. are you doing any kind of cardio along with what you list above? |

If you are on Atkins, try going on Induction again. Also, how much fat
are you eating? Try using www.fitday.com to keep track of your food, and ensure your fat intake is 65-70% of your total.

I am also at a plateau for about 4 weeks. I've lost 50 lbs, exercise hard 3 times a week at a gym on the xtrainer and treadmill. It's hard to keep the faith when the scale goes up and down the same lousy one pound for so long! I'm female, 66 yrs old, and a teenager at heart! 226/176/142 It is hard. I went through the same thing. I feel your pain. Best of luck to you! -- jmk in NC |
