I've been stuck at the same weight for a few weeks now, and I am FRUSTRATED! After losing 15 lbs, I readjusted my calorie goals to get rid of these last 5 lbs...and I just can't seem to do it. I'm 5'8" and 155, is 150 just unrealistic for me? Or do I need to bust out the measuring tape? Because even though the scale doesn't show it, I feel better...so maybe I shouldn't be measuring my progress in pounds?

    I'm also having that problem now.

    I heard / read somewhere that that last 5 lbs is so difficult to lose. I don't know the reason yet and I intent to look for it online. I would also like to know how to successfully lose that stubborn last 5 lbs. I'll share whatever I find.
