i'm still here... and can't lose a ******* pound

[Cobra Dan]

ok, i'm between 204 and 207 and can't get any lower. i'm running, eating low carb. i add some carbs on some days, nothing bad though... just a bigger salad or something like that.

can't lose any weight. i've been at this weight for over a month now. my timeline pictures don't show any difference and my clothes fit the same.

i think it's safe to say, i'm stuck.

Hi, Dan!

I recommend you try fitday and keep an accurate count and menu of your carbohydrates. If you're sneaking in some carbs here and some carbs there, you could be sneaking in all manner of things you might not realize could be affecting you. I know that until I used fitday I wasn't being accountable enough and I wasn't losing weight because the "one little bit more won't kill me" did kill me. If you're not measuring your food, there's a great chance you're getting more than you realize.

Granted, if you eat only when hungry and stop when you no longer feel hungry (but not full), and you are not starving yourself to the point where your body feels it has to hang onto the weight, chances are that maybe your exercise could change slightly. Have you tried weightlifting? That will definitely change your shape AND up your metabolism.

Re: i'm still here... and can't lose a ******* pound

I have a couple questions...first...are you on Induction or Owl? Also...how tall are you? (Sorry if you've discussed these things elsewhere.) Were you at this particular weight sometime in the past for awhile? I've found that some people get down to a weight they may have been in the past and their body says "Hey! I know this!" and hangs around like the last dinner guest who doesn't get the hint the party is over until you change into pj's. Lol!

You might want to post a few days menu's so we can look it over. Sometimes there's hidden things that stall us that some of our Atkins experts spot.

Sometimes our bodies just have a pause. I was in a pause for a month and then lost 2 pounds. I have been there now for a couple of weeks. I am starting to really notice a difference in how my clothes fit so I know that I am still shrinking. Try to not let it get to you. Keep eating the Atkins way and I'm sure the losing will start up again.
