Happy New Year!! Started logging in again! 44 and just can’t get that last 10# off then gain up to 15# since 2011. Easy to get that back off except the last 10! Lol Trying body pump 3 x a week at YMCA and 2-3 Miles cardio at lunch break. Has anyone else toned arms and legs with this program? Currently need to lose a total of 14# and TONE....suggestions welcomed!

Can't help with the last 10# - that is all up to you and your logging/determination. As to toning, check out jessicasmithtv on youtube. She has lots of strength/toning videos from 6 minutes to a lot longer.
I love to run, but the weather this winter has put the kibosh on that. Elliptical, snow shoeing, and indoor activities have become my go to. I lost over 70# here in less than a year and have kept it off for over two. I am a 59 yr old female. Best wishes on your journey.1 -
You just have to commit to losing those final pounds. It will mean being extra vigilant about calorie intake as there's little room for error. Aim for 0.5lb loss a week... If you want it badly enough you will make the effort.
I've been at maintenance since 2013 but at that time it took me 6 months to lose my last 5lbs. I didn't care enough to put extra effort in hence why it took so long. Then I decided on a further 5lbs. That time I really put my mind to it, ate an average of 1700 calories gross a day and lost 5lb in a month! (I'm 5ft 2). Just goes to show what can be done when we try.
Tighten up your logging and you'll be well on your way.
All the best.
