How to Breakthrough a Weight Loss Plateau
Updated: Sep 16, 2022
If you are experiencing a weight loss plateau or stalled weight loss progress, I've got three reasons why and what to do about it.
There are three things you could be doing right now that are blocking you from that weight-loss breakthrough. If you are in the middle of a weightloss plateau, I've got some strategies to help you breakthrough and reach those weightloss goals you have.
Many of the women that come to me have goals - to lose weight, to lose body fat percentage to build muscle, and to gain confidence and feel good in their clothes - to feel like a sexy badass in whatever they are wearing.
Have you lost weight in the past and stalled out at a specific point? Have you lost weight and then gained it back, and are you starting that journey again? Or maybe you are in the middle of your weight-loss journey, and you just feel like you're stuck? Let’s go through the three things that could be blocking you from that weight-loss breakthrough and how to overcome those roadblocks.

1. Focusing on the damn scale
I say this in the most loving way, but you need to throw that damn scale out the window, even if it's just for a little while. So often there is a certain weight that we think we should reach — whether it’s the right goal or not. Maybe you're trying to finally get below 200 pounds. Many people focus too much on the scale that they end up psyched out about the specific number. What eventually happens is you focus on the number on the scale and you forget EVERYTHING else.
You forget the habits, the long-term game, the sustainability, and the consistency. All you focus on getting to that number on your scale. If you are on a weight-loss journey, and you’re stuck at this plateau, focusing on a number is not going to help you. I'm going to challenge you to stop doing that, and maybe check your weight weekly, every other week, or even monthly.
You can also invest in a smart scale that measures your body fat percentage, muscle mass, and lean mass and syncs to your phone. Then maybe you only look at those percentages monthly instead of your target number on the scale.
The other option is to avoid looking at a scale and take progress pictures or measurements instead. There are other ways you can track your weight-loss progress.
2. Thinking you can just exercise more and eat what you want
