I had a goal number set in my mind for a long time (my pre-pregnancy weight, which is 15 lbs less than I am now). But I wasn't lifting weights back then, just mild cardio. I gave up on that number when I realized I'm actually 3 sizes SMALLER now than I was at that lower weight. I'm not worried about plateaus anymore...maybe the number *I* think I should be at isn't the number my BODY wants to be at, KWIM? If you eat healthy, keep your portions in control and get daily exercise, your weight should technically take care of itself.

Good for you! Thanks for sharing.

I recently broke through a plateau that I had been stuck at for a long time. No matter how much I exercised, I could not break through the plateau and lose weight. Exercise burns hundreds of calories---it takes a few minutes to eat them back. I thought I was eating well and not eating too many calories. I was wrong and needed to change the quality of what I was eating (I won't go into detail because of VF guidelines). I changed my eating and voila, the weight came off.

Breaking the plateau was all about changing the way I was eating.
