Plateau buster
I saw it on here before, but can't seem to find it now. Can someone tell me about Plateau buster's that they do.
I'm 19 months out and have lost around 167 pounds. I'm only 25 from goal but have been stuck at the same weight for a while.
I need to also get back on track and thought this would be a way to do that. Have been a little lacks in my vitamins, protein and exercise.
Please help me out !

Sandy ,
I would strongly reccomend the following .
Protein : 120 Grams
Water : Atleast 90 ounces
Exercise : Atleast an hour a day .. Walkging .. Areobics .. ETC ,
Remember .. your body needs this equation to loose .
PROTEIN + WATER + EXERCISE = WEIGHTLOSS .
Also .. keep a check on how many calories you are getting in . Too little will stall you out .. Try keeping your calories @ 1200 . Or go to these sites for further assistance on your caloric and water goals .

This one above .. gives you a calculator on how many carbs and calories to go by for maintaining and loosing weight .

This is your water calculator .
If you still find the weight will not move , You may want to go back to your Nut and have them look at your food diary ...
I Hope this helps you . You can do it .. Never give up .
Hugs ,
