I’m currently a 19 year old 5’8 female weighing 130. I know this isnt overweight, but I need to fulfill my potential and weigh 115 before university starts up again in october. I’ve been eating very lightly, and cutting carbs, but i think i need to be stricter becaus ei seem to be plateauing. in April i weighed 145 pounds and i managed to lose those 15 pounds very easily and quickly. Perhaps now Im losing less because my exercise regime is slightly different, but im unable to go to the gym because im currently vacationing, and have been using an exercise dvd. Perhaps ill start doing it twice a day.

my plan for today

Breakfast: handfull of muesli with skimmed milk. and a cup of earl grey tea (0 calories)

Lunch: Two nectarines and a rice cake.

Dinner: a garden salad with balsamic vinagrette.

Its likely ill snack but ill make sure i do so on vegetables.

I neeed to stop hav a “couple” of bites of what everyone else is eating at the table, and make sure i resist the temptation to put a lump of sugar in my tea.

Please give me tips on my irritating plateau stage.

can anyone give me any advice on what to do if i’m plateauing?

I’m not dropping off the weight as fast as i would like. I think I need to be more careful at dinner and not get tempted by my mothers amazing home cooking. The problem is one bite leads to two, and two to three. Its a vicious cycle. My counter attack i think will be to have green tea handy when dinner is served, so as to fill me up and keep me from taking sneaking mouthfulls.
