Breaking Through the Plateau: Seeking Advice on My Weight Loss Journey

I've been in a calorie deficit since March of 2023, and I've lost an incredible 132 pounds by eating around 2,000 calories a day and exercising six times a week for an average of an hour and a half each day. My routine includes both lifting and cardio, which has helped me shed the weight consistently until recently. Now, I'm about 25 pounds away from my goal weight, but I've been stuck at around 214 pounds for almost a month.

I'm feeling a bit frustrated and wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation. It’s tough to see such progress stall when you’ve been working so hard. I’m reaching out to see if anyone has experienced this kind of plateau and could offer some advice on how to push through it.

I’ve been considering a few strategies, like adjusting my calorie intake or switching up my workout routine, but I’d love to hear what’s worked for others. Did you find success by increasing or decreasing your calories, trying new types of workouts, or incorporating rest days?

Maintaining motivation is key, but it’s hard when the scale won’t budge. I’m still committed to reaching my goal and know that sometimes our bodies just need time to adjust. Any tips or personal experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated. How did you overcome a similar plateau? What kept you motivated during these tough times?

Thank you in advance for your support and advice. We’re all on this journey together, and it helps to know I’m not alone in facing these challenges.
