I am 5'8" and I am currently hovering/plateau around 170/171 lbs...I am trying to get down to 160 lbs, but I can't seem to get below the 170 lb mark, can anyone give me some tips or help on how to get the next 10 lbs off. Thanks a lot for any suggestions you may have :).

    what is your %BF right now?

    The last few pounds are the worst. Losing them without losing a lot of muscle takes forever and careful planning. Eat a ton of protein, lift heavy, cut your deficit back to 250 calories or less, and limit cardio. It can also help, if you have been on a calorie deficit for a while, to take a weekend off and eat a little above maintenance, then get back to business that next Monday.
