I think another reason is also because, people dont’ try to increase the intensity of their workout. This is partly because they have gotten comfortable with it and refuse to raise the bar.

Love the post and it has some great keys that I’m going to take on board. I’ve recently been working out at Fit n Fast Gyms, and it can be easy to get unmotivated and like you said, plateau in your weightloss. But your post brings it all into perspective and makes me see through the ‘dullness’ of it all. Thanks!

while it is hard not to get discouraged while on a plateau, persistence is key. Ive seen many people just give up and go back to old habits because the weight loss has stalled. Instead i recommend not weighing for 2 weeks, then taking measurements or bodyfat analysis or even comparing fitness level (ie, number of pushups). There are other measures of progress besides the scale.

We can all hit plateaus in motivation too. A great way to overcome that is use the power of small in your diet. Don’t think of your weight loss as a huge overwhelming task, just strive to eat well for one day at a time, one meal at a time. The little thoughts can really add up.
