How can I get past my plateau?!
Question: How can I get past my plateau!?
Trying to lose 12 pounds of post-pregnancy weight!. I've lost 7 so far and seem to have hit my plateau with 5 more pounds to lose!. My regular routine was 30 minutes on the machine at an incline!. I have upped that to 40-45 minutes still on the incline, altering between moderate walking and fast walking!. I also watch what I eat!. Typically, breakfast is a SlimFast (180 calories), lunch is a Kashi bar and water (145 calories), and dinner is a normal meal!.
I feel like I am doing so much already not sure what else I can change up to get past this plateau!. Any suggestions or tips that worked for you!? I know I could simply search for some ideas but I want tips from people who have been in this same situation!. Thanks!! Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would recommend cross training!. Your body can start to predict the workout you are doing, and hold off on burning fat stores while walking!. Try going faster at no incline, sprinting for a bit, walking at a huge incline!.!.!.or another sport!. Cycling, swimming!. Also, weight lifting can help a ton!. You may not lose weight, but convert the weight to muscle, which does burn more fat, and you will trim right down!. In fact, that may be part of your trouble!.!.!.getting more muscle in the rear from walking on the incline!. Pay attention to your measurements!. If the weight holds, but the measurements go down still, then you are still good!.
