Does anyone have any advice on continuing to lose weight after hitting a plateau? I was losing about 5 pounds consistently a month until July and now my weight has plateaued. I think I'm back to my "normal" weight from before I gained 50 pounds but now I'm at the point where I'm trying to get more toned, but it's hard to stay consistent with workouts. most of my weightloss so far has been from walking a ton, but now I think I have to do more.

What has helped me in the past was to change my exercise routine or to increase caloric intake by 50 to 100 calories if I've been at low calories for a while. If at the same low caloric intake for a while, your body adjusts to it, so increasing it by just a little bit could actually help move the scale in the right direction. It's counterintuitive, but has worked for me.

For exercise, if you want to keep on walking, change part of it to walking lunges, body weight squats, and/or skaters (moving side to side). This will rev up your walking while working different muscles. You could do short bursts of HIIT or a 4 or 8 minute tabata when you have a few minutes. The main goal is to get your body moving differently. When I do this I find that I get warmer quicker than just walking.

You’re on the right path. When you start with weight training as you said you’re now doing your muscles tend to store more water making it more difficult to see the “weight loss” on a scale. Also, ever heard of the saying muscle weighs more than fat? Obviously that saying isn’t true for 1 lb of muscle weighs the same as 1 lb of fat. The difference is fat has more volume than muscle. You should be seeing a difference in how your clothes are fitting. Be patient! The scale will start to move again. You can also change up your diet a little to confuse your body! You got this, keep going!!
