I'm not saying that people don't go into plateaus- heck I've been the same weight for 3 months! However, a week or two weeks of not losing weight is not a plateau.

Pretty please, my dear MFP'ers- stop freaking out because of two weeks without scale change. That isn't a plateau. All in good time! Keep chugging away, and good luck all.

    I plateaued about 16 weeks from the begining of Jan till April, then lost 26 lbs from April 1 till July 1,and now stuck again, Im not losing anything and Im really really putting an extreme effort this summer ..........sigh

    I kinda stopped looking weekly at the scale and go every 2 weeks, but nada

    Although, I can t complain, Im about 13 lbs away from goal, but dam, it seems like an eternity till I hit goal.....lol At least I know Im not the only one and NO, IM NOT GIVING IN..........Im staying focused and know that all this exercise and great nutrition will pay off in the long run.............nice post though................Lloyd

    i'm in one! I've been at the same weight for 2 months now! It's frustrating. Grrr!!! Even starting with the personal trainer again hasn't kick started it. oh well, i'll keep on chipping away and eventually it'll just start falling off, surely. I go to the gym 5 days a week, surely there will be an avalanche of weight falling off at some stage soon.
