Finally pass my weight threshold after 1 month!!!

[marg1bella]

I lost weight at a good pace and was down from 171lb. to 162.4, but then I was stuck. I became obsessed with weighing myself and being discouraged. I stayed on Atkins, but ate some sugary stuff and ending up going back up to 165. I started induction again and got back down to 162.4 and was STUCK AGAIN!!!! After 1 week of sear determination not to make a mistake and put something simple like some onion, which is high in carbs, in a meal I was cooking, I HAVE FINALLY BROKEN THE THRESHOLD. In addition, I walked 1/2 mile last night on the treadmill. This morning my weight was 161.4 !!!! Yipee. Hopefully I can sail along for at a least 10lbs. until I hit my next threshold. It seems the older you get the harder it is to lose weight. FOR THOSE STUCK, DON'T GIVE UP! I keep picturing myself with a thinner face and it helps alot!

Hello Marg,

I am going thru the same thing, the first week and a 1/2 I lost 12 lbs, and ever since I've been stuck (well i did lose 2 more but i started induction on 09/1. It is very depressing I dont know what to do any more

I'm stuck too......first week and 1/2 down 9, now up two and just sitting there. I'm going to the gym like crazy......working out about 6 days a week, but I'm going to cut out the atkins bars. I think they are making me stall

Congratulations. I just bust a stall. I started Atkins 9/2 got down to 158.5 after two weeks and just stayed there. I've almost been at 158.5 for a month, just out of the blue I lost 2.5 lbs. I just got to 156 and I haven't weighed myself since then because I'm afraid I'm going to see 158.5 again.

I can TOTALLY relate! What do you think made you pass your threshold? I passed it for a day and now I'm stuck again! I walked 20 minutes on the treadmill this morning and then took a walk to the store this evening. I'm hoping that some exercise will help me burn some of these stubborn fat cells!

I FOUND THE ANSWER!!! I celebrated passing the threshold and then NOTHING. My weight didn't move again! I went back and reviewed the park on stalling in the Atkins book and decided to try L--CARNITINE. It metabolized fat into energy and is a natural supplement that Atkins says helps and it WORKS. I started losing immediately. I take 2 in between meals when my stomach is empty for total of six a day. I started taking it 4 days ago and every day I weigt a little less. I also no take Coenzyme Q10 -- also recommended by Aitkins. I take it twice a day, each time with a meal. I guess my body needed a little help figuring out how to burn the fat cells and I'm glad to have found it. YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
