I've been at this for 11 months, down 61 lbs, and for the last nine weeks the scale has lived in a 2-lb box. I lift three times a week, walk 45 minutes on workdays, usually land around 120g protein, and I've stopped drinking calories. The math says keep going. My brain says this is the part where I usually stall out for good. I don't need a pep talk or a new plan. I want to know what long-plateau survivors did when effort and results stopped matching. Did you change one small thing, or just keep showing up until the line bent again?
