Weight Loss Plateau or Progress in Disguise? How to Tell the Difference

A weight-loss plateau can feel maddening, but it is also common.

Mayo Clinic notes that weight loss often slows or stalls over time, and that this happens to many people trying to lose weight. (Mayo Clinic)

But before you panic, ask:

  • Has your strength improved?
  • Are your clothes fitting differently?
  • Are you more consistent than before?
  • Do you feel better in your body?
  • Are your waist or body measurements changing?

If yes, you may still be progressing even if the scale is being dramatic.
