Help - I've hit the dreaded Plateau
Hi everyone,
I'm new here, so apologies for my ramble. I'm 39 y/o female - v.overweight and desperate to get rid of it. Basically put on 2 stone with each of my 2 pregnancies and having a hell of a time getting rid of it.
I have been on Atkins diet since end of May and have lost 42 lbs of blubber, but still have another 28 lbs to go! I have a medical in a couple of weeks time and have to lose at least 14 lbs to get through it!! Failure is not an option on this - if I'm classed as obese, which at current weight I am, then we fail to get our immigration go ahead. I've hit the dreaded plateau and haven't lost a bean in 5 weeks despite having carb/cheat days to boost things again.
Can anyone help. I'm doing short bursts of cardio 3 days/wk, but the Atkins has left me with little energy for anything else at the moment. I was weight training before my youngest was born, but a few weeks in hospital with pneumonia put paid to that.
I'm 5' 8" currently weigh 204 lbs and can't get below it. My best weight was 140 lbs, felt great at that weight, but that was way back.....
Any help would be appreciated. Have tried 7Keto - no joy, bloody awful stuff, may as well have eaten my money for all the good it did.
Your help would be appreciated.....

Dreaded plateau
Thanks Purdue. I do my cardio an hour before breakfast and I've moved from 3 meals per day to 5 small meals per day and increased my water intake.
I have worked hard at Atkins and I feel great on it, just bored to death and lacking in the endurance I used to have with my cardio. I have to get through this med, so I'm just looking for that extra kick to get my body going again.
Thanks for your advice - appreciated. Once the med is over I can get back to what I really need to do, to get my muscles working hard and gaining shape rather than just weight loss.
