Losing the last 3 pounds?

Question

I have successfully lost 35 pounds thanks to Weight Watchers. I have hit a rut and Im unable to lose the last 2-3 pounds! Im getting real frustrated what can I do to move things along?

Answer 1

interval training will help you get over the plateau

Answer 2

This may sound strange: the first thing I would suggest is for 1 week try eating all your flex points and all your Activity points. Sometimes I loose more when I eat a little more. The saying is the fire needs fuel to burn.

Some people have success switching to core (if they are flex) or flex (if they are core.)

Try earning more activity points, exercise can help with a hump. Try eliminating processed foods and frozen foods and eat simplier.

Be sure you are journaling everything and if you have stopped try weighing and measuring foods again, sometimes people suffer from portion creep, where their portions just creep up a little.

Remember the goal is to keep it off long term, but if you really want that goal number here are a couple non-WW suggestions. You could try hard core Atkins, limit your carbs to 20 grams a day or less, and still stay within your points. You could try a juice fast, but the weight is likely to reappear.

Eventually you will break through, you are so close, don't give up now!

Answer 3

Whenever you hit a plateau, which is normal, what you want to do is change your routine.
When your body is use to or comfortable with the way it operates daily, you want to change that routine for a few weeks to trick your body into increasing its metabolism.
Just change around some things in your diet and excersise and you should be losing weight again.
Good Luck!

Answer 4

Try eating your biggest meal of the day as lunch or breakfast not dinner. If you aren't exercising start. if you are then switch it up. Different cardio and weight training.
