Plateau

How common do people experience weight loss plateaus if they are consistently under their daily caloric goals? It would help if I could understand what successful weight loss individuals have experienced. Thank you.

    I've only had one plateau and that was 2 weeks ago, it took me 3 weeks to break it. I'm thankful I've never had more because it was frustrating.
  • I hit a plateau for a month & then went away on vacation! But it turns out the best thing I could do was go on a vacation as it was the change I needed to knock my body back into weight loss mode. It's normal to hit plateaus when losing weight as your body goes into a "survival" mode thinking there is something wrong.....just pushing through it & not giving up seems to me to be the only way forward. Everyone will tell you it's something different that works for them but I say if it worked for you up until you hit the plateau, then keep at it & your body will catch up!!!
