Did you ever hit a plateau? How did you get over it?

[ElissaDido]

I usually lose/ gain weight really fast without efforts.
It's driving me insane I lose weight super slowly right now and I don't know what to do 😡
My BMI is normal so maybe it's harder to lose weight than if I was overweight or obese but is there a way I can lose weight again? 😭
I want to go from average to skinny.

[Octavius]

Not really in terms of weight gain or loss but yes in lifting weights. I sometimes just kept doing the same thing even though it felt like I was actually getting weaker and lifting less but eventually I broke through and started being able to stack on more and more weight again.
What really helps is to change your workout a little bit without doing less.

If you're doing stuff to get skinnier try mixing it up a little. If you are running for exercise to lose weight change and maybe go to biking or swimming. Something your body isn't used to and that will increase your metabolism and help lose weight.

Losing weight can be a slow process depending on your body. You might have a low metabolism which could effect your weight loss. Maybe you aren't eating correctly. You need to follow a precise diet routine if you aren't already doing so. Figure out an exercise plan weekly. I'm kind of like you; I gain the weight REAL fast and easy, but it takes me a while to burn it off. Don't worry about your MBI because BMI's can be off when you're comparing to charts.

I'm currently losing at least 1lb a week. Which is super slow and less than I would like but it'll probably be more beneficial in the long run than if I were to go on a en extreme fad nutrition / exercise plan to lose 5+ a week

[spuitkaas]

You just have to eat less. There's not a simple trick to suddenly loose weight or something. Some exercise might help you figure on the way and makes you more motivated.

[anonman32]

what i do is alter m training so it becomes hard again. for example if i am running long distances at a slow speed for a long time, i start with maybe interval training, or i start to run faster for a shorter distance, so there is always some change in my training, so that my body never gets used to it and becomes comfortable.

[akadatank44]

Cycle your food. Carbs protein. Are you still in Ramadan? If not do the 16 hour fast/8 feat that @ConsultantIsBack does. Sometimes you gotta trick your body almost to wear oh yeah she is giving me enough food and then all of a sudden you'll loose weight. Eat more one day and eat less the next. Its almost a game you have to play with jt to get over a plateau.

[Omar5881]

She fasts more than 16 hrs I guess , and still 17 days till Ramadan finishes

[ConsultantIsBack]

Good advice man

[Omar5881]

Hugh jackman does that fasting thing too I guess

[ConsultantIsBack]

@Omar5881 ya but Hugh Jackman skips leg day fr

[Omar5881]

@ConsultantIsBack I don't know why people skip it I enjoy that day actually leg muscles arw really important

i reached peak physical fitness (and attractiveness) for humans by 2010. It's the kind of plateau that is hard to accept, because the thirst to improve never dies. But i ended up getting over it by accepting that you can't fix/improve upon something that isn't broken. It was a tough pill to swallow, but accepting peak fitness is a virtue

[Mustachekitteh]

When you have a normal weight the plateau wants to stay and not budge.

[Harbor]

You hit a plateau when your body is use to the type of exercise you're doing.
Kick it up a notch and the plateau will go away it really is that simple.

[Sovereignty]

Eat less and exorcise more.

Calories in - calories out

[ElissaDido]

I don't eat much , I hardly go over 1200 calories

[Azgeda]

By hitting it harder faster and more frequently.
Walls are meant to be broken :P

[Fearless_banana]

You just have to keep pushing through when it comes to weight loss. Some areas are a bit more stubborn.

[Fearless_banana]

As long as you are eating at a caloric deficit you will lose weight.

[Katy16]

I'm not sure, i actually just got into my healthy weight range and am stuck not 148, I can't get my weight to budge and am getting frustrated

[Katy16]

Let me I add I keep my calories at a 500 calorie deficit (but above 1200) and am still struggling

[ModernDayCrusader]

The more muscle you have the easier it is to stay skinny, Just keep exercising and not eating pastries or soda

[Polocrew]

Lol at eat less, U need to eat more for two days and then switch lower than u were already and shock it anr then switch bak to normal once u break it

[ElissaDido]

Carb cycling?

[kelvinmed]

I hit a plateau when the previous semester started and that's because I didn't sleep enough and didn't eat enough throughout the day

[fueledbythc]

I'd activities that involve using your mind and body like boxing.

[mystintri]

HIIT for stubborn fat loss.

I recommend Insanity - highly.

[Phoenix98]

I added more weight lol.

[apple24]

I have and could never fix it.

[Anonymous]

Skinny? Why 😳
