Plateaued for 15 months. To break through, drink more WATER. Decrease your calorie intake by 100 calories, change up your activity and be patient. Even after I changed those things, it was still another 3 months before I started dropping weight again. OP, don't do another fad diet. Trust me! I have lost a total of 53 pounds and kept them off x 4 years.

I got stuck about half way in. For months I could not get out of the 170s. I did not end up doing anything special. Just got a bit more honest about what and how much I was eating and eventually it started coming off again. Down to 154 now

This is so typical at the midpoint or can be at any point. It is an awesome time to prove we know how to maintain until the body wants to give up some more fat. One friend lost down to the last 5 pounds and got stuck at that point so she stopped trying. Six months later she weighed and had lost the last five pounds.

The body knows best sometimes and will not let us force a weight loss.

Yeah, I guess body knows best. Thanks.

I am on the 2nd week of Atkins diet & somehow the weight is reducing. I hope it's not just water weight.

Anyways, thanks everyone for replying.

. My thought on the water was that, since I'm chronically dehydrated, that my body just had enough for normal functions but not enough extra to break a lot of bonds in fat

Water breaks bonds in fat?
