End of the Plateau!

FeebRyan

Finally after TWO MONTHS of working hard, eating (fairly) well and generally being more active I have overcome the plateau that was keeping me at 100 kgs. I am now 97kgs and that is in the evening after a days worth of food and merriment!

I will weigh myself tomorrow morning again but it is safe to say I have got through one of the hardest bits about weightloss, nothing was more soul destroying than working hard week after week, watching that weigh chip away and then suddenly everything just stopping.

I am determine to get down to a healthy weigh by the end of February and then focus on reaching my goal by the end of the summer. Feeling very pleased and just wanted to say that if you are stuck in a plateau, just stop weighing yourself, carry on allowing that exercise to be a part of your daily routine and stick to it. Everything will come right eventually even if it takes bloody ages!

Way to go!! Also try switching up your workouts to help break it even more and make sure doesn't come back

I box because I love it and cycle because I need to cycle, so I don't really do 'changable' workouts, its all just part of my life

I have started going to the gym once or twice a week just to do some skipping and lift a few weights but I find it horrendously boring

By the way, I don't think plateaus are anything to do with not doing something right or needing to change anything. I think they are a wholly natural response of the body when faced with losing vast amounts of weight. I plateaued at 100kgs but I started at 139kgs. I could feel my body getting firmer, getting more toned and what not, its just that what it needed then was for me to love it, give it time to adjust to the huge difference and then when you're ready continue to push for better and better results.

Though it was really hard, those two months, I did understand them and it felt right to me to be intuitive to my body and to just let it be. I may well have been able to push it beyond the plateau and get a better weightloss but actually I don't think that would have been as sustainable. Right now I feel like the weight I lost has gone for good and that plateau was a sign of that.
