What happens when you hit a weight loss plateau?

Posted on May 4th 2007 1:38PM by Brian White

Filed Under: Diet & Weight Loss

If you've decided recently to lose weight, you probably embarked on some kind of exercise routine and slowly saw the pounds come off. That was exciting, wasn't it? It usually is.

What happens when that weight loss stops even though you keep exercising? It's called a "plateau" and every person who has tried to lose weight has probably seen it. What if there are more pounds to safely lose?

Adjusting one's diet is key here. Changing your diet to one of healthy and nutritious foods and cutting out things like refined carbs and sugars is a good start. It's hard, but it just may lead to a lifetime of feeling better along with keeping that weight at bay.

I'm Suzanne, an online community facilitator at Communispace Corporation, and I'm posting on behalf of our client, alli. However, this is NOT an advertisement or commercial posting, so please read on.

The makers of alli, the only FDA-approved over-the-counter weight loss product, would like to invite you to join an exclusive secure, password-protected, and moderated online community of 300 women who will serve as consumer advisors to help shape the weight-loss experience and improve the alli consumer experience.

I will be one of the facilitators of the Weight Loss Pros community that we’ll be running on GSK’s and alli's behalf.

To see if you qualify, please click on the link below to complete a 5-minute questionnaire.

WHAT IS THE WEIGHT LOSS PROS COMMUNITY?

As a member of the Weight Loss Pros, you will have “insider” status and obtain a preview of alli educational, promotional, and support materials – as well as have access to industry experts and other like-minded members of the community.

Your interest and experience puts you in a unique position to serve as a consumer advisor to help influence and improve the alli consumer experience, exchange ideas, advice and tips, and to share what you learn about alli with friends, family, and others online if and when you choose.

In the past, the alli team relied on similar communities of people struggling with weight loss to guide each phase of their product development process. Now they look to you to help consumers succeed on the alli program by arming them with useful information about alli. We will ask for your honest and candid feedback regarding alli, but this community will be an open forum where you’ll be encouraged to also post your own experiences in the online community at large and share information to support one another.

WHAT ARE WE ASKING FROM YOU AND WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT IN RETURN?

If you are selected to join this community, we ask that you log in and contribute your thoughts (via surveys, bulletin boards, chats, etc.) an average of once a week. You can expect to spend 10-15 minutes in the community per week. In addition to sharing tips and getting access to alli informational and promotional materials that are not yet available to the general public, you will have opportunities to interact with experts in the field and receive small thank you gifts from time to time for sharing your feedback with us. Note that these rewards are in no way tied to or dependent upon your willingness to discuss alli with others, but only to your willingness to share your insights and opinions within the community. This is a unique opportunity for you to serve as a consumer advisor, make friends and gain insights of your own in the process. We hope you will get involved!
