    Me!! I struggle constantly to lose 20 that I've gained! I lost 90 in the past because I was so focused and now I just can't stay there! I'm pretty sure my weekends with my friends are ruining my efforts but we have so much fun! By Monday I'm back to trying all over again :/

    You say ONLY 30 pounds!! I am 57 and at this age your metabolism is practically zero. I my goal is 30 pounds but could do 40. The struggle ahead is enormous for me. I did it 3 years ago with Weight Watcher and I will do it again. Today is the 3rd anniversary of my mom's death and she asked me just before she died what I was going to do without her around, and I replied "probably get fat and lazy". At least I spoke the truth. I know she is behind me today and kicking my butt, I just joined up yesterday. To everybody out there trying....best of luck....we can do it!

    I maintain 130-ish at 2000-2300 calories a day.

    EAT MORE TO WEIGH LESS. There's a group here; you need it.

    I actually just recently joined this 10-30 to lose bracket. I started off with 50lbs to be lost and only have 28lbs to go. Strangely enough, I'm finding it easier to lose weight the less I weigh.

    Me :( I don't even mind waiting a while because I plan on eating healthy and exercising for ever and ever haha, but I just wish there was some sort of reinforcement that the fat is slowly melting off, because I just can't tell :(

    How many calories are all of you guys consuming and burning every day? I'm freaking out that I'm either overestimating calories burned by exercise and actually eating way too much, or that MFP's estimates are on point and I could potentially be under eating. It's so tricky and frustrating!

    I'm on my last 15-20 lbs and it's SO SLOW. It's alright though. I'll get there. Just need to be patient!

    Yup! Dropped my first 35, but now I'm headed into the final 15 pounds and it is SO much harder!

    It has literally taken me about 4-5 months to lose 20 pounds. Now that I only have less than 10 to lose it is going even slower. But it is cool. Getting this close to my goal gives me a chance to focus on other things like fitness goals and eating healthy, not just under my goal and eating more and experimenting with food and recipes.

    That's me! I've got 26 pounds to get to pre-pregnancy weight and the scale just won't budge. It is getting so discouraging!

    I found that I am actually slimmer now than I have ever been but I am 10 pounds heavier than my lightest adult weight. I have been doing resistance and cardio (P90X and P90X2) for the past year and I actually found that shooting for a weight was not the most optimum goal and shifted to going for size instead. I have lost 32 to 35 pounds depending on the day but I lost 7 inches of my waist. So I suppose my question would be in reaching a point where you have another 10 pounds to lose have to attained a size you wanted to get down to.
