3rd time around! Need help if I'm ever going to lose these last lbs

[MBA2010]

Hello all!

I have been a forum lurcher for a while and decided to sign up right before Thanksgiving... good timing huh?

Here's my problem. I sooo need help. I'm a 25 year old male. I've lost 180 pounds so far on various diets including Atkins. For the last 8 months my weight has oscillated from 265-275 no matter how much exercise I do or how I change my eating habits.

So, to get out of this rut I did the fat fast/Kekwick diet that Dr. Atkins mentioned in a book of his. I lost 10 lbs in three days! Bad news, is the in the three days since I ate about 1,500 calories (500 more than he suggested). I stepped on the scale today (day 6) and I gained those 10 I originally lost in the first three days.

By the way, when I was on vacation this summer I ate profusely and never got above 275 lbs. I'm locked into this weight range it seems.

With yesterday being Thanksgiving I plan to restart the Fat Fast/Kekwick tomorrow and sticking by the diet moreso than last time.

I would appreciate it much if the members here could have me suggestions in getting out of this plateau and back onto the road of weight loss. I have about 70 more pounds to go until my goal weight.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Glad to finally be a member on the board. Look forward to speaking with my fellow diet buddies!

I'm seriously considering gastric bypass if I can't lose these few pounds and that should be the last resort.
Cheers,
Eugene

Welcome Eugene and thanks for sharing! Wow, you've really done well losing 180lbs!!

I'm afraid I don't know much about the fat fast so someone more knowledgeable than me is going to have to tackle that! I just wanted to say welcome and that I'm glad you're here!

I need help! Anything.
