in Introduce Yourself
As proud as I was when I lost 60 pounds, weighing 140 pounds is so close to my original goal of 130. It's seems to hard to lose those last 10 pounds and I'm hoping that myfitnesspal will help me achieve my goal and keep up with my calorie intake. Any advice? Be happy to add you. Motivation please! :D

    I think that's pretty close to trying to only lose 10-21 pounds...those are really hard to lose. I'll friend you : ) You've done so well so far, I'm sure you'll be able to get the rest off.

    :smile: No advice, really, I am still trying to lose the last 5 pounds. I had set 145 as my Goal Weight, which I reached last October. 2 months ago I decided that I would feel better at 140. I am STILL at 145--147.
    :drinker: Hang In There!! I KNOW we can do this!!!

    I understand. I've been trying to loose my last 5 for about 2 weeks. All after 35 came off in under 3 months.

    You can do it, just gotta shake things up! Do some different exercises! You CAN do it though!

    Great advise, I started insanity on Tuesday, just picking the Upper Body weight lifting one to try and jump start things here again.

    Holy crap am I sore today, going from strictly light to medium cardio to Insanity is eye opening for sure, I think I'm going to love it.

    I don't know if your a fan of jillian michaels or not, but she talks about how the last ten pounds - she calls them vanity pounds - it totally different than trying to lose 80lbs.

    If you listen to her podcasts, she mentions it now and then - but she has a specific strategy for it -maybe google it, I dont know.

    Congratulations on your successes so far!!!!! And good luck!!
