Over the last 3 and a half years I've really changed, lost over 250 pounds (probably more with the little yoyo thing I've done with 10 pounds countless times) but all in all I've made changes I'm so happy with, I'm more fit and healthy then I have ever been and I'm months away from the big 35! (4 actually)

But I'm hitting a wall, I workout like crazy, think I eat really well and the last 15-20 pounds, then I reevaluate and change up my goals, are just SO hard.. wondering if anyone would be willing to offer up some advice, check out my diary, give me some feedback, it'd be greatly appreciated, would love to talk and make friends with some people that are currently struggling with the same issues.

Thank you so much!

Okay, I can't figure out how to add a picture.. will add shortly..

    To be honest, if the picture on the right is recent/accurate, you are probably slim enough already! Maybe it's better to maintain healthily and not obsess over the last 10-15 pounds?

    OMG! Congrats on what you've accomplished-it's so impressive. You look perfect now! Your diary isn't open by the way if you want anyone to review it then you need to open it. Keep doing what you're doing, the last 10 are hard to get rid of which I don't think you need to do looking at your pic. Focus on the lifting if you want some more transformation, nothing does it like lifting weights! Great job :)

    The numbers on the scale mean nothing. They are a tool and a poor one at that. You need to find what your body fat % is to really know what is going on. Reading your profile shows that you lift, so you have what I'd advise already going on. That muscle will be denser than the fat so it will seem like you weigh the same even though you've lost the fat and size. ( you probably already know all this with as long as you have been at it ). Get a BF% reading. This is a realistic way of looking at life, not the scale.

    Thank you for the comments and feedback and I realize how you feel and BF% are way better indicators but I'm a girl and I want to see a number, sorry, but it's true.. lol. (My bodyfat is 21% by the way, I've been dunked, so I could stand to drop a bit more) and the remainder of what I want to lose is in my lower half so there is definte room to drop a bit more.. I weight train between 5 to 6 times a week and spin/bootcamp or run for cardio. I am finally at a really great place with my food and exercising and to be honest I'm SO happy with the progress I've made but like everyone there is always room for improvement and I just want to continue moving in the right direction for me. :)
