BREAKING WEIGHT LOSS PLATEAU

I am hitting my weight loss plateau right now and its hard to break it and your body is needing more intense workout.. Did you ever experience plateau?how did you break it?

For mine I tried the zig zag thing for a week and it worked. You eat about 300 cals less one day then 300 cals more the next. So on for about a week, I kept everything else the same (workouts etc.) and it took me about a week and a half to start losing afain after starting that.

I just took a week off dieting and mfp and regrouped, came back at the same weight, got back into the groove.

I'm kind of in a plateau now... I had a tmi problem that made me super retain weight and then out of feeling bad for myself I binged a couple times. Overall I ate below maintenance but the scale is up a lot. I can't decide if it's the tmi problem still or what, but I know I couldn't have eaten an extra 210,000 calories in a week and a half, so I'm trying to just get back into my routine and wait it out

I am half way to my goal and have been stuck for about two weeks. I am eating a few more calories in the form of whole grains and some fat, still keeping to about 1200 to 1400 a day. I am not exercising as much as I'd like so I am going to ramp that up for a couple of weeks to see if it makes a difference. It is so discouraging when I feel like I am doing everything right and don't see the scale budge. I know overall I feel so much better with the weight off so I will stick with it, I've seen some folks get stuck for a month and then start to lose again. It's times like this I feel like being older and post menopausal is tripping me up!!
