For those of us with only 10-30 pounds to lose....

WickedGarden

i want to lose another 15-20 lbs, so I will be doing P90x AGAIN, hopefully that will help some.

I'm with you all. Lost the first 8-9 pounds quick enough and then have been stuck on this plateau for over 7 months! I want to lose 30 pounds, but would be happy enough to lose 20. With the way its going, right now, even half a pound seems pretty darn good!
If I set my goals to lose 1/2 a pound a week, I only get like 1300 calories..and thats like starving, I only do basic exercises, so an extra 200 calories doesn't do much more me!

It's a ***** aint it :grumble:

I always get larger people boast about loosing all the weight really quickly (such as my mum),
I'm happy for them and everything but it does kinda fall off at that point.

Does get hard when you're at a lower weight.

Oh thank god! Me too. 30 to lose, 10 gone in 2 months. Now just plateauing...still not quite were I like myself yet either. Another 5-7lbs and at least I would feel like I look good....argh!

suerun11

Yep, want to lose around 15 - 20lbs, gym sessions 4 days a week doing cardio and weights, zumba once a week and just started 30DS today to see if that makes a difference, feel like im working out all the time and worried that the gym will start charging me rent! :laugh:

I would like to lose 15lbs, however, my fitness pal gives me a daily calorie goal of 1470 and that seems high to me. Usually I hear people recommend 1200 calories a day, I think I even heard Jillian Michaels state that, so should I ignore the advice on the MFP and customize it or go along with it? I'm currently 135 and 5'4. By some miracle I would like to fit into a bathing suite before August rolls around.

Go to fat2fitradio.com and find your bmr and tdee (have to put your current weight as your goal to see your current tdee). As a general rule, eat above your bmr, which I'm gonna guess to be at least 1350.

Your mention of fat2fitradio.com made me go back and re-evaluate. There is no way my metabolism will work with eat more to weigh less so I really need to know my body fat % :noway: This will help me stick with measuring and get rid of my obsession with the morning weigh-in, AND help me make sure my intake is good. I also realized that I had set myself to light active because I was exercising, then I would enter the exercise, but I was more sedentary in between SO those numbers have been a bit off. Hopefully a tweek here and there along with a change in exercise routine will get things moving again. I'm going to put a sign on my scale that says NO TOUCH!

I'm working on about the last 8. With weight training and my own natural fluctuations, I rarely see changes on the scale, so I hardly weigh...maybe maybe every 3-4 weeks out of curiosity. I'm taking monthly measurements and will have another body fat analysis done in a month or so...because that's what I care about. Photos are helpful, too, for seeing progress. Keep on keepin on!!

HauteP1nk

I want to lose about 5-10 more pounds...the first few pounds came off a lot easier... Now I am finding that I have to work a lot harder! lol It is worth it though.

Ke1ra78

sandrajune72

Count me in! I want to lose about another 12lb or so. But I want my body to look and feel better which is why I'm doing 30 Day Shred! :happy:

I've just hit my half way mark, I feel great for making it but another 9kg to lose seems so far away and have to keep telling myself I have the strength to do it!

wojewok

p.s. Looking for some friends to keep me on track so please add me if you have similar amount to lose and want come company!

if your stuck on a plateau, go to the vitamin store! get a detox kit! its like 10 days worth of pills! they cleanse your body. not gonna lie, your're going to poop alot and get some flue like symptoms. but thats good! thats your body cleaning itself! it will get rid of all the toxins that have built up and gotten blocked up in your liver and intestines. you'lll gain lots more energy, be alot less tired, alot more drive, and you'll feel amazing! like a whole new person! And you'll lose a few pounds during the process too! best thing to do when you're stuck at a plateau! Or, you can also detox natrually. with raw veg and stuff. google it. Good Luck!

I've got 12 till goal weight, and 19 till ultimate goal weight. I simply can't lose weight, I keep fluctuating 1-3 pounds up and back to 154. I'm getting so frustrated.

6 down, 21 to go. Those last 10 lbs are so hard to lose! You DO have to fight hard for every ounce!
