Hello, I have been on this journey to lose some weight and tone up since August. I feel I have hit a plateau and need some support to keep pushing! Please, add me so we can reach our goals together :)

    Stick to your deficit, and you'll break through it no time. I know what it's like to hit a plateau, multiple times, but stick with it and you'll get through it eventually. I know having someone tell me that when I plateaued never made me feel better, but looking back they were right. Your body just needs a a little break to accommodate all of your hard work!

    You got where your at because you stuck with it! I am in the same situation. I have lost 25 lbs. and have hit the spot where I am at a stand still. I keep telling myself that it is my body adjusting to my dedication and not willing to give up. I can't go back to where I was. I do admit that it is hard to convince myself all the time. Then when I see your post I know we all need to share so we can have the power of supporting each other. Hang in there keep going you got this.

    When I hit mine a girl I worked with told me to change up my eating schedule. Like if you eat 400 calories for breakfast save 100 calories and eat them as a snack between breakfast and lunch. Same for lunch a dinner. It helped me loose a few ounces the first week but then the second week I lost a pound and it helped get the ball rolling again.

    Good luck!! Keep up the great work. Even though right now it's slow your still doing amazing!!
