Explanation

Weight plateauing refers to a period where a person's weight remains constant despite efforts to lose or gain weight. This typically happens after a person has already lost or gained some weight and then their body seems to resist further changes. It's like hitting a wall in the weight loss or gain journey where the scale doesn't move up or down for a significant period of time. This can be a normal part of the body's response to changes in weight.
