Hello everyone. I am working on losing that last ten pounds and haven't been able to for a month or more. If anything I have gained a couple pounds. I work out everyday and eat a lot better and count my calories. I drink at least 8 cups of water a day, usually more and am wondering what I am doing wrong? My belly seems like it's getting bigger too... any thoughts/advice/tips?

    I am having similar issues! I honestly think that I am not being fully honest with myself. My workouts aren't as intense as I often like to think they are and I eat too many calories/carbs and deny it trying to say to myself that my workouts are so intense I need to eat more.So, if you're like me and not being fully honest, then it is time to up our game!

    what has worked for me is really sticking to 1200 cal and no more then 15 min of workout so you don't think oh i worked hard i need to eat more but 15 is still a good amount hope this helps

    For the last 10-15 pounds I had to set MFP at a 0.5 lb/loss per week. My body responded to eating more and having a smaller calorie deficit at the end. I know many others have had similar successes, so if you aren't doing that already, you may want to try it. Also, as others said, make sure your logging is accurate.
