    I have 19 lbs to go. I'm just eating at a slight deficit and not worrying about it too much. Slow and steady...

    I had a small goal of 10 lbs. Keeping track of eating allowed me to do this without being hungry. When I ate over my allotment I just exercised more. I am keeping the weight off and look a lot better in my clothes. Lol

    My extra weight just crept up on me over the last two years. I thought it would just go away without trying but...of course it didn't. Cue MFP to help me out.

    I've got a good 10 to 15 to go, and it's all in the torso! AAUGH! This has to be the hardest place to lose fat EVER!!! But I know and trust the process, so I am diligently plugging away! Keep your head up and do the basics. The pounds will come off before you realize it. I have already lost 20 lbs. since last summer. These last few are the toughest, but I say BRING IT!! :glasses: :glasses:

    I have 5lbs to go and it's taking weeks and weeks to lose even half a pound at this point :/

    If I reach my goal by the summer I will be happy. I like how I feel at this weight so I don't sweat it. But it sure is a slow process

    Good luck!

    I feel ya! The last 10 lbs which everyone warns you about it the hardest and it's true the hardest along with toning.

    I need to lose 18-20lbs. No, let me restate that - I have to lose 18 to 20 lbs!!

    How did 5-8 lbs become 18-20???? This will never happen again.

    I'm trying to lose 15. It seems so much harder to lose a smaller amount. MFP is such a great motivational tool. I'm sure that you will be successful. ")

    I have 8-10 left.. but it's very slow going. I lost 98 lbs in a year and maintained for a year but I can't seem to lose these last few lbs. I lose a few, loosen up my eating habits and gain them back and then lose them again. I know I should look at myself as starting over from here to lose the 8-10 but I can't seem to allow myself to get there. I will get through this plateau as long as I tighten up my eating habits.

    I've had this issue for a while. I joined this site almost two years ago to maintain my weight during an injury, which worked. But then I wanted to stay the same or lose some weight. This last holiday season my weight shot up (for me) and I still haven't gotten it under control.
