Ht. 5'9", Start: 202 lb, Today: 194 lb, Goal: 165 lb - Hey! ok so what exacly does it mean when you hit a 'plateau' when losing weight? I hear a lot of people talk about it & i'm sure its happened to me but like how long does it last & stuff? On average how long did it take everyone to lose the amount of weight they wanted to?

I go through them a lot now because I've lost 60 pounds. Got another 40 to go, but my body just doesn't want to budge this weight sometimes.

Oh ok thats what i fugured. I have those a lot. Its frustrating. Its like you're doing everything right & nothing happends! I go through one like every other few weeks it seems like.

It's pretty much where you are still working out hard and eating healthy, but your body doesn't lose weight for a while. I had one that lasted 3 weeks. When I got out of it I lost 4 pounds. It was irritating to be in. I still have not reached my goal, but I've now lost 60 pounds total, and it has taken me 7-8 months.

it means that your still doing eveything right but your not losing weight. But you will eventually start to lose again
