Sense of Scale: 7 Smart Tips for Overcoming a Weight Loss Plateau

I suppose it could be argued that after I decided to lose the "Newlywed 19," I started on the weight loss plateau. For several weeks after my husband and I began running together and trying to figure out how to feed ourselves good food, I didn't see any progress. I'm not going to lie - it was discouraging. Slowly, however, things began to change. I kept at it, ran until it hurt, cut back on sweets, and learned to cook. And pretty soon I started to feel like a better version of myself: more energetic and confident in my body, more capable of doing the things I needed to do, and more interested in making healthy choices and leading an active lifestyle. My experience with losing weight and building a healthy living pattern is pretty typical. Common, even. Whatever the reason, don't let a little (or a lot) of time on the weight loss plateau keep you from working toward the healthy lifestyle you have planned. These tips will help you out of your rut and on the track to better health. -By Lizzie Heiselt
