How long was it before you plateaued?

I've lost 60 lbs without a plateau and I've just enter my healthy weight range. Things have certainly slowed down now to 0.5-1 lb/week though.

Before joining MFP, I had reached my peak weight in 2008 and started exercising regularly and got down to a more "normal for me" weight. Then in 2011 I changed my diet, too...but still plateaued for over a YEAR in the same 5 lb range.

Joining MFP was apparently the key to getting my weight loss going again, but after about the first month and an initial 7 lb loss, I plateaued for about 3 weeks because I got overexcited about my successful start and instead of sticking to my recommended 1500 cal I was eating barely 1200 cal per day, which really did not work for me at all.

Getting closer to 1400-1500 and adjusting up for serious exercise broke that plateau and now I'm finding my "plateaus" still come but they last only a week or so. Hopefully that will continue.

I was seeing great losses for the first 3 months, then it stopped dead.

That was 4 months ago.

During that time I bailed from MFP, completely disgruntled, and began gaining back the weight I had lost.

I think I was gone for 2-3 weeks.

Luckily for me, MFP sends those messages out saying "Synapze has been gone for_______, he might need help.....", and my MFP friends began sending me messages asking me to come back.

They bugged me so much I came back just to shut them up! :P lol.

Its taken me a few months now to get back into the swing of things, playing with my macros, finding a good intake I can stick to, exercise routine i like..but it looks like ive finally begun to figure everything out, and loosing again

I've had heaps of help from the people in my FL figuring all this out, and am extremely grateful.

Takes time. I've learned to just allow it to happen, and not try to rush it.

I lost around 18 kilos when I hit mine about 6 months in. After 2 month of gaining and losing the same 1-2 pounds, I think I'm just breaking through it. I continued to eat well and I was changing up my exercises during those two months but nothing changed. So I decided to have a weekend food break or as I called it "metabolism reset". I ate close to 3000 calories both days or close to double what I had been averaging. The following Monday I was up a kilo but since then (8 days) I've lost 2 kilos and hit a new low. Hopefully writing this doesn't jinx my plateau breakthrough! I've got about 5 kilos to go.

It was about a year in and 90 lbs down. I plateaued for about six months and have only recently started having sucess again. I have had issues with work that made eating healthy difficult (I often get sent to very rural parts of the country for weeks or months at a time, which can make getting good vegetarian food difficult, particularly when I am in a hotel without a fridge). I started Insanitty five weeks ago to jump start fat loss again, and made sure to really focus on eating right and not bringing a lot of junk into the house. I haven't seen any weight loss (a couple pounds of gain, in fact) but the inches are coming off dramatically and my body fat is below 20% for the first time in my adult life, so I'm happy. Sometimes, the best way to break a plateau is just to shake things up. Try a different exercise routine, eat different foods, etc.

I was about 4 months in and 12 kg down. I tried increasing exercise, decreasing calories. Finally broke through when I took a 3 week diet break, eating at TDEE for a while to get my metabolism back to normal speed. When I started eating at a deficit again, the scale started moving again, albeit slowly. I have now resolved to have a one or two week diet break every three months.

Well I lost little over 100 pounds in a year then Plateaued, But I do not call it that because I am still losing inches and burning fat. I have not lost any weight but I am losing fat(there is a difference). This being said I have been the same weight for about 4 months but I keep on keeping on knowing I am doing the right things and taking measurements to show progress.
