Diet fatigue make those last 10lbs. so hard. What to do?

Anyone who has tried to lose weight knows about those frustratingly immobile final five or 10 pounds. And while there are a lot of suggestions (just Google "last 10 pounds" and you'll enter an echo-chamber of weight loss advice, scientific half-truths and can-do enthusiasm), the truth is that several pretty straight-forward reasons can explain that unshakeable weight.

The first is easy to fix, but also the most psychologically daunting: it could be something called "diet fatigue," in which the repetitive behaviors dieting requires -- keeping a food journal, weighing portion sizes, skipping that glass of wine -- become arduous, hard to manage and, frankly, boring.

When you reach this point, what have you done (or plan to do)?

    Not there yet, just wanted to say, "Good for you!!" Congratulations.

    Very impressive.

    I've heard so much about the last ten pounds that my plan is to take a vacation and starve them off if I get stuck, lol. It must really suck to get so close and then stall.

    Good luck! I'm sure you'll do it. :)
