The Last 10 pounds

BinaryPulsar

I only lost less than 10 pounds and it was purely for vanity (I'm a dancer and perform). I only lost half a pound a week or even just one pound a month. But went down 3 clothing sizes and was very pleased with my measurements. I ate at the slightest deficit (because I was intending to be eating at maintenance). And I lifted weights. It is also normal for your weight to fluctuate as much as a 5 pound range, so just learn to get used to that.

I have been loosing around 7 - 10 pounds a week, and I've lost 28 pounds now, however, this week I only lost 4 pounds, so I think I'm at the final 10 pounds to get myself down from 13% Body fat to 10% body fat. I think the best way would be to shock your metabolism by having a cheat meal, I tried that today so tomorrow I'm going to eat at my maintenance calories or I might do it for two days and then drop back to a deficit and see what happens after a week.

The last five or ten is very very slow for me, I'm talking less than half a pound a week. Patience and trust are your best friends. Slow at the end makes maintenance easier IMO.

OP, eat a little less.

10% bodyfat? As a female?



I...err. Okay.

As a Male

Oh.

Well that makes it more realistic.

I don't know, 7 or even 4 lbs a week when already lean would be extremely difficult assuming we are talking about fat and not just dropping water weight.

I am pretty sure that the comment about "making it more realistic" was dripping with sarcasm.

Yeah, the poster responded. I was pretty sure I knew what she meant, but she wasn't exactly being sarcastic. I think we are all on the same page regardless.
