Plateau
Posted: 06-23-07 20:34pm
Ok, so I've basically hit a plateau while trying to lose weight. I was wondering if anyone here has any tips in overcoming this if they've hit a plateau as well?

As brief as that sounds I believe a little background might be helpful. I was at around 145 lbs more than three months ago and standing at 4'11'' that is not a healthy weight. lol. I've been 'dieting' and exercising for the past three months and am down to around 128. By dieting I mean I've been eating pretty well. No fast foods, no coke. Just grain, dairy, meat, beans, fruits and veggies with serving sizes that keep me healthy. This coupled with doing cardio everyday have gotten me down to the 128.

But I've been 128 for quite some time now (about 1.5-2 weeks or so) and would like to lose more weight. My ideal weight would be 99 pounds but I think that's a little ridiculous. LOL. I don't think I could ever get that tiny. So I'm looking to lose about 15-20 more pounds so I can at least have an 'average' BMI and not have to worry about my doctor telling me I need to lose weight.

Has anyone tried weight loss pills? Fat burner pills? Or...should I just go to a certified dietician and see what s/he says?? Any advice anyone can offer in overcoming this plateau would be great!

Thanks
