What are some idea on how to get past that Plateau we all hit. Im on a journey to 225lbs and have been stuck between 248 and 257ish for a while and i dont know what im either doing wrong or how to get past that 248. looking for any ideas, words of encouragement or ideas on something that i may be missing in my journey.

Depends on what you mean by 'a while'? And also, that's quite a wide range (248-257).

Anything less than 4 weeks and patience is the key.

More than 4 weeks without any weight change AND also no changes in your strategy/ routine: check the accuracy of your logging, you may be eating more than you think. And perhaps go through your goal setup again if you've been losing weight for a while: a smaller body needs fewer calories, but MFP doesn't automatically update your calorie goal. If all that is OK, you may just need to lower your calorie intake a bit and/ or become more active to lose weight again.

Also, since you give such a wide range for your plateau: have you looked at your weight trend? Are you sure you're not losing weight? Or perhaps it's just slow enough to be amasked by daily fluctuations?
