I not only plateaued, I gained without cheating. I have over 100lbs to lose, so like you, I was scratching my head. Give your body time, though. My weight dropped again suddenly. This has cycled twice for me in the 5 weeks I've been Keto. Remember, it's not just burning fat. It's healing and sometimes your body needs to use energy to do that instead of burning fat.

This is so true! My daughter was really, really unwell for a number of years as a poorly controlled Type 1 Diabetic. Upon going Keto, and starting an insulin pump, she gained 20 pounds of water weight in 2 days! Now, this was mostly due to a rare condition called insulin edema, but, it's been 5 months and she put on a total of 30 pounds (but honestly, she was underweight, so she needed some of that) she's just now gotten to a good point with her health and her body has finally began to drop some of the weight. She's been cheating a bit too, so I'm sure she would be losing faster if she weren't.
But, the point is, the body has other things in mind sometimes. Do what you know is the best for your health and the weight loss will happen.
