those last 10 lbs...

sunshinegirl2012

hey all (: needing motivation to keep losing weight...I'm down from the mid 160's to 132-134 (at 5'5), which is a big yay, but I'm losing motivation to get to my goal of 118-125. it's so close yet I've been in the low 130's for almost 2 months now, trying to lose at least one more size since I'm between a 4 and a 6 right now, and I would love to fit into all 4's! even though I've gained a lot of confidence in eating right, working HARD, and overall getting smaller, 133 just doesn't cut it-doesn't feel like my potential, doesn't feel good enough yet. any tips to stay motivated through the last 10 lbs?

ps. I workout 4-5 times a week at at least one hour a day (jillian michael's dvds, cardio with weights, strength training machines, etc...I'm used to working out hard!) and eat around 1000-1100 calories a day, occasionally up to 1200 but I start to feel sick at eating that amount/higher. limited dairy, nothing with gluten, limited sugar/fats, high protein and fruits/veggies though (:

I think everyone is going to say you should eat more cals. Good luck

You are into "vanity pounds", rather than losing for health reasons, so yes it's very difficult, as your body isn't going to give up those pounds easily. Are all your workouts cardio based? Strength training might help with your shape - if fitting into size 4s is your goal.
