A plateau or something like that

I've hit my first plateau or bump in the road.  It's been about a month since any significant weight loss.  This week, I had a gain.  Since February I've lost every. single. week.  I know plateaus are a normal part of the weight loss journey but I guess I figured I was doing everything right and it wouldn't happen to me.

I found someone on Facebook from high school who has lost over 100 pounds.  I messaged him last night to get some advice about plateaus and how to shake things up.  He was very helpful and helped to show me that everyone experiences a plateau.

He referred me to a website: bodybuilding.com.  There is a lot of great information on there about everything from nutrition to supplements to dealing with plateaus.  It is a little overwhelming to me though.  I'm not trying to become a bodybuilder.  I just want to lose weight and be healthy (and look good naked - ha!).

If you are trying to lose weight or if you have lost weight in the past, what have you done to overcome a plateau?



*Please excuse the vulgar language but I love this e-card.  Makes me laugh every time.
