There is a plateau point, but it doesn't work like what the article is describing.
As you gain fitness, your body increases efficiency, so there comes a point where your current caloric intake versus your current level of exercise will balance out and you will stop losing weight.
If that point is not your current goal weight, you need to either decrease caloric intake or increase the level of exercise to continue losing weight.
