Short Stop.(weight loss)
Byline: Cara Litke
Anyone who has been stuck waiting in traffic knows how frustrating it is to come to a complete halt when you still have miles to go. Deidre Sully, Kathleen McNary, and Heather Allison know the feeling, too, only for them, it's their weight loss that stalled. "When dieters reach a plateau, it's easy to give up," says weight-loss expert Stephen Gullo. "But since this is your body's way of telling you that something isn't working, it's actually a great opportunity to evaluate the situation and make positive changes." Here, the women explain how they got back on the road to success.
