    I'm down to the last 4lbs.......... so annoying!!! I've started running every other day early morning and fasted to try to get rid, but im also a couple of months into strength training so if I stay the same weight but CHANGE my body composition i'll be very happy too.

    I wanted to lose around 4-5% body fat while keeping my lean muscle - that equaled to 4lb. My arms have become extremely lean, which is great.. but I wanted to just flatten and firm up my stomach a little more ultimately (and lift my *kitten* up!)

    On the plus side i did start to see a bit more definition in my stomach last ngiht at the gym so just need to keep going.

    stats -
    female
    25
    5ft1
    cw 110lb
    gw 106lb

    The last 10 are brutal and stubborn!! I lose a couple, gain a couple, very frustrating.

    Story of my life!! Been trying to lose the last 10lbs of baby weight for over 3 months now and still not seeing any permanent scale loss. Losing some fat and inches, but geez, dumb *kitten* scale.

    I have about 12ish pounds left to lose and I just can't get it off. I only seem to be able to stick to my hardcore diet for a few weeks then I fall off the wagon and eat MYSELF out of house and home for a week before I feel guilty and stop lol it's horrible. I'm 5'5 and 142 but wanna be 130. It doesn't seem like much but I just can't stay with it!

    I'm in the home stretch too. I just upped my calories to give myself a little boost. I'll give it a few weeks and see how that works.

    Maybe start new exercise plan or diet plan, that's what's keeping me motivated at least. My new membership to crossfit is getting me excited with new hope !

    Try cutting out Wheat and Dairy. I lost a stone a month doing this about 4 yrs ago. But, I have an under active thyroid so the weight eventually crept up again before I was diagnosed. Literally, if you are healthy, it works wonders!!! Good luck :)

    I'm about 5 pounds away---have lost about 45 and just want that little bit more. Just a tip---my nutritionist added about 150 calories to my goal for a non-workout day (1550!) and I've lost 2 pounds in a week! Try upping your protein and add some calories. I was very surprised!

    The last 10 lbs of fat are kicking my butt. I don't care, they are going to come off. I'm still pushing everyday and loving it.

    I was down to .2 lbs away. Thats right 0.2 lbs...and I STILL have not got there! Just got to keep plugging away! It will come. I did change my calorie intake and added more strength training...will see where that goes. Its just a number anyway, but it does keep you motivated to keep pushing.

    Last 13lbs for me. Its been awhile that I have been stuck between 145-150. SO frustrating. But I am amping up the exercise and trying to hit my calorie goal more consistently with better food choices.

    I've lost 40lbs all together, and have 12 left. I'm still losing consistently, hope it stays this way!

    If I am honest, I only have 10 to lose total but I cannot seem to make it happen. Working out 5 days a week, cutting calories but going over nearly every weekend because I have 4 kids, a husband and a full time job and I also have a problem eating out of boredom.... I've been playing with the same 2 lbs really but I have noticed better definition in my upper body, so I think something is working - even if my clothes don't fit any better. :(

    What frustrates me, is that I will hit a new low and then a few days later where I maybe didn't do AWESOME, but did ok but maybe I didn't drink a ton of water (sodium is my nemesis), I'm then instantly up 3lbs. Makes me start thinking that no matter how much I kick my butt to get this weight off, I won't be able to keep it off.

    I have been pretty focused for almost 2 months now. I'd like to see some change on the scale but if not there, then in my closet. I have two pairs of pants that I want to be able to wear from a few (maybe 7) years ago.
