If you're feeling frustrated that you've hit a weight loss plateau, you're not alone. Don't feel discouraged because hitting a plateau is a sign that you've been doing a good job.
While you've been working out and eating healthy, you have not only been losing weight, but your have made your body more efficient. This means that your BMR has decreased and your body needs less calories to keep it going throughout the day.
Congratulations. Good job. The bad news is, you now have to work even harder to subtract calories from your day. This is the time to re-evaluate your diet to see if there are even a few more calories you can subtract that way. Also, it's time to gear up your workout. Spend a few more minutes in the gym doing cardio and especially lifting weight so that you can continue burning calories throughout the rest of the day.
Once you treat that a plateau is a good thing, you will no longer feel defeated, but rather inspired to get past it and continue your fitness quest!
