Dealing with Weight Loss Plateau

A weight loss plateau means that you have reached a point in your weight management program where you have either stopped losing weight for a few days, or you have actually even gained a pound or two.  This a common problem - don't worry about it.  Weight loss plateaus are what separate the serious from the not so serious.  Our bodies are amazing in many ways........our bodies are "smart" and catch on quickly to changes in eating, drinking, and exercising.  Our bodies are trying to figure out what the heck we are doing when we make major changes so our bodies "cease".  I know, it's weird. 

Hang in there and wait it out.  This too shall pass.  Or, just go back to your old habits and enjoy being fat.
