This is hands-down the most helpful post I've seen on MFP. I'm doing many of these and they do work. I was on here for 3 months bouncing around the same 3 or 4 lbs loss/gain. When I switched things up by changing my MFP activity to sedentary and logging and eating back exercise calories (as needed to make sure I at least consumed 1200 calories per day, the scale started to move. The tape was moving all along because of my strength training, but the scale wouldn't budge.

Thanks for putting all of this valuable information in one place and in terms that everyone can understand and easily apply. :flowerforyou: :drinker:

Great tips! I totally agree with changing things up when you hit a plateau. When I was doing Weight Watchers a few years ago, I followed this advice and after months of tracking I noticed that the weeks I had indulged in a restaurant meal and then ate lighter the next day to balance it out, were always the weeks that I had a loss.

The problem is when you let the "big" days become your "normal" days... then you gain it back.

Thanks for this helpful post!

Haven't had time to read much of this post so may have missed the answer to my question which is this .... where did you get your information from? Thanks

I got this information from 2 main sources, one being countless internet sources and research from numerous health and medical websites ( I must have gone through more than 100 sites over course of 5 months); second source is people on here, I read sooooooo many posts, including lots on plateau and have read what has helped others break through their plateau. So I took the two and combined them
All people are different, and works for some doesn't for others, I tried to combine as much as I could find together

I read some really great information on this topic on this board:

Excellent additional information!

Thank you everyone for your kind comments, I am glad this is still helping people. I am no doctor, but this is everything that I have learned and read from health/medical sites, and what I have learned from people's posts on here. One things you can never go wrong with is mixing it up, always keep your body guessing and you won't even give it a chance to plateau

Wtf was with all the hearts and flowers?? Were you trying to seduce your plateau, or.....what? :huh:

"Teas, coffe, sodas, etc do not count as water sources, they actually dehydrate you. "

Wrong.
