The last 10 is always the hardest to lose. Do not get discouraged. In the past 4 months I have lost only about 2-3 lbs also and I am close to the end as well. Your body is close to the weight it wants to be and may be used to what you are doing... Try changing it up a bit. If you are currently doing a bunch of cardio, you may try strength training as a way to mix it up and confuse your body's system a little, or vise versa. I hope this helps.

thank you for your reply, I do a lot of cardio and a little strength, maybe I should be concentrating more on strength I probably need to up my cals a bit too, I currently eat at 1400 but I hardly reach that, with all the exercise I mostly net 1100 which I know isn't really enough...I don't mind slow and steady but its ground to a halt this last 3 weeks and I've worked harder than ever in those weeks physically.

It's a little maddening, isn't it? Try tracking inches...i find it is much more satisfying and less susceptible to totally random and inexplicable change.

As far as numbers though, mine are almost exactly the same as yours.

@NearlyJen thanks for your reply, I DO track inches and the weird thing is my hips and waist haven't changed in months yet I'm down two dress sizes - I think I'm just WEIRD LOL I think the weight is coming off the places I don't measure! I never thought to measure my tummy or my thighs! doh!!
