Congrats on losing 8lbs, why do you think you are having a plateau?

This. More info needed.

When did you first start your diet?

I started about a month ago

So apparently I wasn't at a plateau because over night I lost weight thanks for the help guys I'm glad to know that I have a support system when doing this

- Increase your calories
- Decrease your calories
- Change your macros
- Change your workout routine
- Consider intermittent fasting, even something as simple as the Leangains protocol (16:8) might help.
- Take a break from the calorie counting, just for two or three days
- Take a break from working out
- Make your workouts more intense
- Zig zag calories
- Are you drinking enough water? bodybuilding's calulator: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/water_calculator.htm

Start taking your measurements with a measuring tape. You might not be losing weight, but you might be losing inches.

tl;dr CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE! Plateaus are your body's way of signaling the need for change.

I once read that those on the weight loss (or gain) boat should change their workouts every 4-6 weeks to prevent a plateau. Personally, I've made an intricately detailed planned which requires me to change exercises after every 5-7lb loss.

This support thing works a lot better if you actually interact, answer questions and give relevent information.

Just sayin'.
