I have been stuck at the same weight for two weeks, going on 3. Granted, the move probably threw things off a bit, but still. Gah! I am so frustrated. How do you bust plateaus-- or is this one? I know it's only been a couple of weeks, but I had been losing weight rapidly and it's stopped all the sudden. How do I bust through it?
this is very normal... one usually does hit a plateau after 40 pounds or so... you just need to be patient and eat fat burning foods.. im sure you can find a list online... it'll happen... and it will drop together.... why not make your weekly weigh ins into monthly ones?
You can try changing your macro-nutrient ratio. May be reduce some carbs and eat more protein. I am not suggesting on going on a very low carb diet though.
You can also decrease your calorie intake (if you have a wiggle room there) or may be start exercising harder.
If things have changed a bit for you recently and your plan has been derailed even slightly it might not be a plateau. The best thing you can do is keep doing what you're doing. Follow your program and stick with it and the plateau might resolve itself. If it's been less than a month you could just be stalling for a bit and it might not even really be a plateau.
If after a month you're still at the same weight doing the exact same things you might have to change things up a bit to bust through. Varying the exercise or increasing the calories by 10% is usually what I do/would recommend.
Seriously though, I know it's frustrating but I wouldn't be panicking yet. Don't get discouraged and keep doing what you were doing and take it from there.
don't get discouraged, just keep going like nothing happened, it may not even be a plateau, just keep going forward, eating right and maybe increase your cardio by a little by duration or strentgh
I had a similar situation, my weight wouldn't budge for two weeks! And I crept back up to 180.
I tried having a fat day where I ate a unhealthy dinner and indulged a bit, then switched up my work out routine. I've lost almost 3 pounds of it within the past few days. A trainer at my gym said that every 6 weeks you need to switch your routine or you risk a plateu.
BAHHHH. Plateau... at least feels like it.
