I am in DESPERATE need of help!!!

Can someone recommend a nutritionist and let me know about how much I should expect to spend on one?

I'm having serious issues losing weight. I used be pretty good at this until I quit smoking 4 mos ago now nothing works... I'm doing Atkins right now... on my 4th week of induction and I've only lost 3 lbs.... I also workout 4 days per week 1.5hrs each day -- and I do it all: cardio, weights, interval training, step, kickboxing, etc.

My metabolism is at a stand still and I don't know what to do!

I need to lose about 20 lbs before the wedding and I'm starting to run out of time!!

Maybe try going through your insurance? They generally have nutritionists that they recommend.

Just to mention - I'm doing really well on Weight Watchers and I HATE dieting. You can take that or leave it.

Maybe you should try switching to South Beach and/or Weight Watchers. The biggest problem with Atkins is that you can eat anything but carbs...you exercise a lot obviously, so you need to balance your diet more. Your body doesn't have any immediate energy source so it is probably storing all the fats you take in. Good luck, I've been struggling for a few months myself, but I know it was my eating habits that were bad and I am trying to change that.
