6 ways to break a weight loss plateau
by Lani Muelrath, M.A.

Ah, the dreaded weight loss plateau.

Has this happened to you?

You've been puttering along with your usual dietary plan and fitness routine.  Then progress seems to slow, then seemingly halt.  You feel like you are at a standstill.  You've hit a weight loss plateau.

The shape won't shift, the pudge won't budge.  Now what?

Ally's story

Ally wrote to me 3 weeks ago with this same dilemma.

She was 5 lbs away from achieving her 20 lb weight loss, 2 sizes down body shaping goals.  She'd been "stuck" there for the last month.

First, I assured Ally that plateaus are a natural part of the adaptive process of the body.  It can decide its own pace of change at times.

Sure,  that can seem most inconvenient to us.  Yet our body has its wisdom.  As I often say, our bodies do everything for a reason.  Even with the weight loss plateau.

At the same time, if the situation persists, it may be time to take a closer look and shake things up to get them moving again.  This is what I suggested to Ally. 
 
She implemented a few of my suggestions and now, 3 weeks later, her weight loss plateau has broken and she is down another 1  1/2 pounds.

Time to budge your plateau?  Then it's time to exceed your reach!

Actually, this is just like it is with life.  What do you do in life when you have stalled, lack of creative energy, and a slip from your ideals?  You exceed your previous reach.

Reach past what you've done before.

For actually, when you are not reaching beyond your comfort zone and presenting yourself with continuing challenge, whether in fitness or in life - you are slipping backwards.

It's called a "stretch".  You can do the same with a weight loss plateau. 
 
Here's how.
