Thanks for the reminder that we CAN lose the weight and keep it off!!!

Great job, @Hemtech! 🏆

Sometimes the body (and mind) need a nice long plateau to adjust and prepare for the next leg of the journey.

Even after reaching an initial “goal,” people will often re-evaluate how it feels, and lose a little more, or decide to gain a little muscle.

So I agree; plateaus and maintenance have a *lot* in common! 😀

The main thing is not to go back to gaining, unless it’s intentional (building muscle, or deciding that the original goal was not sustainable)

I seem to be maintaining for the last 6 months but would really like to lose, guess I am at a plateau and need to shake things up, no pun intended,

As I was losing someone told me a plateau was practice for maintenance! If you want to still lose some weight shake it up a bit....try a new cardio routine, up the intensity, change your diet a little....sometimes just making a change will jog some loss.

Congratulations to our November maintainers!
