Plateau

[ICUnurserachel 17]

I have lost 22lbs so far and have hit my first plateau. I have had an adjustment recently and am still eating what I am supposed and exercising. Plateau's are so depressing. I know it will pass and am having another adjustment in a few weeks. What else can I do?:eek:

Ehhh it just happens! My best advice is to not let it get to you (I know, I know that's difficult!). You'll push out of it.

What kind of exercise are you doing? Last time I hit a plateau I changed up my exercise a little and that seemed to do the trick well. I was running 3x a week and doing yoga so I swapped out to running 2x a week (I love it to much to cut it), added a spin class and then went hiking with my dogs once a week at a local park. Not a big difference but I think it was enough for my body to be like "oh... mmkay" haha.

Sometimes it helps to change your eating as well. Example, I find foods that agree with my band and tend to stick with them and don't vary because I'm worried I'll get stuck. Then if I hit a plateau I try rotating in a few new things and that tends to help. Try something different. If it works, great. If not, you'll know better next time. Just be careful and make smart choices!
