Don't give up

There may come a time in weight loss when you just stop losing weight. Otherwise known as a weight loss plateau.These plateaus can cause people to quit or give up! Don't do that.
So what do you do?
First of all try mixing it up. When you do the same thing over and over again, your body will adapt. It will use fewer calories than it did when you started. Basically your body will start running on cruise control. Add five minutes to your workout routine. Take a walk every night. Mix up your workout. Change your workout intensity. Add strength training.
Second, make sure you are getting enough water. You really need to drink 8 glasses of water a day. I know you've heard this before. If you are not consistently getting 8 glasses, your body will hold onto water. Also your body cannot properly burn fat if it is dehydrated.
Third, take an active rest. Take a week off from structured exercise. This will rejuvenate your body and mind while giving your overworked muscles a chance to rest and rebuild. When you come back your body will be ready for new challenges. Take this time to go for a fun bike ride, play with your kids, take a long walk.
Fourth, are you eating enough? While you are first losing, you need to seriously cut your calories. However as you increase your fitness levels, your metabolism increases. You may need to eat more. Really pay attention to how you feel. How often are you hungry? If it's often, it's a clear sign that you need to eat more to sustain your fitness program. You do need calories to burn fat and build muscle. Just make sure you are eating healthy. This is not an excuse to start eating bad!
Finally, how much sleep are you getting? If you aren't getting regular sleep, your body cannot actively repair itself. Getting proper rest will give you energy and strength for your workouts. Improper sleep can actually cause you to damage your body. So make sure you are getting 6-8 hours of sleep consistently.
