Losing the last 5 lbs-if you've done it looking for tips

gargoyle999

I'm 5'9" male and went from 245 to 175 last year. I now want to lose 5 more to get to my final goal of 170lb. I've had my weekly goal at 1/2 lb per week for awhile and am continuing to exercise as I have been that includes weight training and cardio 3-4 days a week. Just wanted to get some feedback from others who have lost the last little bit. Did you have to exercise more than you had been? Was toying with the idea of going back to 1lb loss per week calorie level, but that may be counter productive.

So just looking for some thoughts on what worked to lose the last (and hardest..lol) last 5 lbs.

Granted I have a female body rather than a male's, but I would caution to be patient, stick to what has worked so far and let your clothing and/or measurements be your guide. Remember you have made a lifestyle change, not just a temporary diet. Don't let yourself become discouraged over a mere 5 lbs when compared to the incredible achievement of 70 lbs!!!

Oh, and that 4 lb ticker is the second go-round after losing 50, reaching goal, letting up and then regaining 10!
