    From what I can tell, the last 10-20 are the hardest...when our bodies start to really slow down with the weight loss. The less you have to lose, the hardest. You may want to try setting your goal to .5lb a week now (if you haven't already). Great job on your losses so far!

    I've heard... that we have to trick our bodies!
    We have to change our workouts, possibly to be more intense and more often!
    Also change up your meals, kick bad carbs or lower your sodium for the week!

    Just do something very different!

    Very aggreeable. Try switching up your routines and adding in strength training if you already haven't

    Same with me! Try changing up your workout routine, incorporate more strength training. Have you tried High Intensity Intervals? It's REALLY awesome for breaking a plateau. The last 10-20 lbs are pretty hard to lose! You'll get through it. Good luck!
