First of all — losing 100 pounds is a massive achievement and deserves a serious round of applause! 🎉 What you're experiencing now is very common and doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong.

Hitting a weight loss plateau happens to many people. Your body adapts to your routine over time, which can slow or stall progress. Here are some things worth considering to help get things moving again:

- Mix up your movement — Walking is great, but adding strength training or other activities can help with body recomposition (losing fat while building muscle)
- Check your portions — Even healthy foods can add up; a registered dietitian can help fine-tune your eating plan
- Reduce sodium — Less salt means less water retention, which can affect the scale
- Stay hydrated — Drinking enough water supports digestion and helps curb cravings
- Weigh yourself consistently — Same day, same time each week gives a more accurate picture of progress
- Look beyond the scale — Are your clothes fitting differently? That's a real win too!

It's also worth having a chat with your healthcare provider to rule out any other factors that might be affecting your progress, like medications or hormonal changes.
