My body freakin' insists on being 177-179 lbs, not matter what I do these days. I am off to the gym now.

How tall are you? How much protein and total calories do you eat a day? What do your workouts consist of in terms of resistance training and cardiovascular fitness? Maybe we can help.

I am thinking I need to eat less cheese. I think I thought I could eat more than I can. I haven't been counting calories lately, since I went on low carb thing. Basically, it's been steak and eggs for breakfast (say .4 -.5 pounds meat and two eggs), a cup of greens, 4-6 oz chicken and maybe 3 tbsp grated cheese for lunch, and maybe 1 lb of meat for supper, with say another oz or two of cheese, and maybe a 1/4 cup of low carb tomato sauce.

I am 5' 11", 177-179 pounds. My daily routine consists of 50-100 pushups in the morning, plus 25-50 crunches. At lunchtime I go to the gym and do 25-35 minutes cardio on the bike, then another 100-200 crunches in sets of 25.

I drink maybe 4-5 1pt 8 oz bottles of water a day (that's like the medium sized bottle.) I have one cup of coffee in the morning and maybe 2-3 cans diet coke at night.

And I have sugar free jello with redi whip for dessert. Maybe a full cup of redi whip--yeah, that's the other culprit, methinks.

Any advice? before all this I was drinking slim fast shakes and eating buckets of salad every night. the slim fast approach got me from 228 to 173. Atkins is like something new to try because I have stalled out at high 170's. I think I am not doing a rigorous enough job of induction. Looking at it, I think I need to cut back cheese and rediwhip.
