There is nothing more frustrating than working your butt off and hitting the dreaded, pesky plateau. It seems like it happens every 10 pounds for me, but it's different for everyone.
You work out harder than ever, since you've lost a few pounds and are feeling good. Then you go three weeks without dropping a pound, even though you're eating well and exercising a lot.
The only way we can really overcome the plateau is to do either increase our exercise, either in time or intensity, or to decrease our calories. It can definitely be hard, since we are already eating better foods and exercising more, but even just upping the intensity of your workout can make a huge difference!
Yes, the plateau is hard, and it is one of the most discouraging parts of weight-loss, but you CAN overcome it. If you have some helpful hints, things that worked for you, please feel free to share them here to help others, too!
