Eight Weeks of Plateau Hell and Counting! Please Help?!
Hi there, I haven't been around in a while as I have been so busy getting ready to move (from Indonesia) to the UK with my wife, son and mother-in-law.
So I have been pouting a lot as I have been going through a fat loss dry spell, I have been yo-yoing from 245 - 249lbs over the last 8 (or maybe 9) weeks.
I have been changing my workouts enough, giving myself plenty of variations, and I have been behaving myself with following a balanced nutritional program, but no joy yet.
I have a lot on at the moment (moving, long visa procedures, trying to finish a degree, preparing to open a business, money, money money matters, my hip problem, etc!!) so it could just be because of stress. I am not giving up.....keep on going, eventually it'll break.
If you have any experiences or advice on weight loss plateaus please share them with me, thanks all!
Hope you are all well!
Take care,
Andrew
Discipline or Regret?

Hi ATD,
Yeah I am strength training three times a week (Mon, Wed & Fri) changing my workouts and intensities every 2 -3 weeks, my workouts go for 45 to 60 min a session. I am also swimming 3 times per week (Tue, Thu & Sat) also for 45min a session.
I am drinking about 3.5 to 4 liters of water per day. I 'm keeping my carb intake below 50g per day (usually about 30 - 40g per day).
Thanks,
Andrew ;-)

Nice post and wise words.
Your "just do it" advice is right on the money. I used to wake up and re-consider every day if I would work out or not. Now I just work out as soon as my alarm goes off and I'm done for the day!

Hi Susana - and thank you! Not everything in my blog is raw. There are some cooked recipes, but as time goes on, I feel better when I eat raw. I don't know that I'd ever be 100 percent. To me, it's about balance and listening to my body. Today, I de…
Barbara,
I just check your blog and your raw recipes look absolutely delicious! I am not sure if could handle it everything raw. My son eats mostly raw (sandwiches, raw veggies and fruits) alone. Only when he comes home eats what I cook.
Do you nee…
