    My plateau ended when I stopped worrying about the numbers on the scale and starting focusing on strength - less cardio and more weights, lifting as heavy as I could for 5-8 reps, and more body weight exercises, like setting challenges for push up and pull ups. I started to noticeably "tone" and then the scale started moving again.

    Try increasing your calories on the days you're working out. Don't eat 350-400 of the calories that you have burned on those days. Only drink the protein shakes after your strengthening workouts, they could be increasing your weight if you're drinking them to much. I just hit a plateau myself and that is what I did. Good luck and keep up the good work.

    Honestly, it varies. I plateued for three months while I built muscle. Keep up what you are doing. I've found that when I added in a protein shake, mixed with water, daily it helped. It's frustrating, trust me and the scale that didn't move for three months, but you will get over the budge.
