Finally pass my weight threshold after 1 month!!!
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!

Re: Finally pass my weight threshold after 1 month!!!
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.Comment

Re: Finally pass my weight threshold after 1 month!!!
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!

Re: Finally pass my weight threshold after 1 month!!!
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!!!!!

Re: Finally pass my weight threshold after 1 month!!!
The supplements are called
L-Carnitine (it says right on the bottle "metabolized fat into energy" AWESOME!
Coenzyme Q10
I found them at the grocery store in the vitimin and mineral isle in the health food section. They probably carry them near the pharmacy too. If you can't find them at the grocery store I'm sure a GNC or health food store would have them. They are awesome. I feel like I've waisted so much time begin good on my diet with out them!!!! Good luck

Re: Finally pass my weight threshold after 1 month!!!
Good advice! I take L-Carnitine also; it's great for helping to melt off belly fat ... think I'll up the dose 'cos I still got some belly to meltOriginally posted by marg1bella View Post
The CoQ10 is essential if anyone is taking a statin to reduce cholesterol (as I am); the statins destroy CoQ in your body and that's what causes the muscle aches that some people on statins suffer. Take CoQ10 (I take 150 mg. a day, divided) and, voila! ... no more aches

Re: Finally pass my weight threshold after 1 month!!!
BTW Co-enzyme Q10 -- according to Dr. Atkins it is "another vital nutrient necessary for fat to server as fuel....BOth CoQ10 and carnitine are extremely valuable for other reasons, such as hearth health." This comes directly from the Aitkins book.Comment
