Hello Lorena.
Being in Italy, must be hard to avoid the pasta!
But I totally understand being without support as I am in Luxmebourg and have the same problem.

I do know though if you are NOT eating enough that your body will go in to "starvation mode" and you will not lose. I think you would be wise to check that your actual calorie amount is well over 1500 MINIMUM. You can check that out using any online calorie counter.

Also, I see your stats are within 20 lbs of your goal and I know that there is some threads saying that some changes need to be made in order to lose the last bit of weight. I beleive that is called Pre-Maitenence, and you need to take those off VERY very slowly. There are threads for that, and advise for fat fasts and clean inducitons, more water and more excerise.

One last thing is that a "plateau" is only considered that if you have stalled for a minimun of 4 weeks. I am sure 8-10 days is not a plateau.

Hope this helps.
Melissa
