Struggling to shift the last bit of body fat round the belly and love handles . Everything else looking good and progress then look in mirror and see that last bit just won't shift and advice I could use and friends too

    You are probably not going to like the answer, but I think the answer is patience and sticking to it. Just keep working at it. It's slow. The last bits are the SLOWEST.

    Another answer you might like better, but still is frustrating, is that if it's the mirror, it could be dysmorphia. It's not uncommon for people to still see their "old self" in the mirror even though others don't. It's happened to me. It might actually still be happening, or maybe the mirror is telling me the truth.

    If you have some old pictures from the "before" times, take another similar picture today. Then smile at all the progress you've already made and THEN be patient and keep sticking to it! After all, you're still going to have to stick to it even when you get to your goal or else you go backwards. Keep up the good habits!
