I have been working at this since February '11. I am down over 70 pounds and I am looking for support for the last 20! If you have the last 20 or so to go, friend me and let's see if we can get this job done.

I will tell you my nutritionist didn't think would be able to get to onederland, but I am just a few pounds away! My goal from the cardiologist is 187.

I am running about 100 miles a month, and I eat 1600-1800 calories a day. That is my target daily caloric intake for the weight that I want to be. A -2 pound a week setting puts me at 1230. That's not very easy, nor realistic.

You can forget the "eating more" I tried that and gained 10 pounds in a month. No thanks. Respectfully, it works for some, but not for me.

If you beat the last 20, tell us what you did!

    I'm in. I've been battling the last twenty for a while. I've even changed my banner because to me any weight I lost previously doesn't matter to me at this point...only the last 20. Will I see 180 lbs? U damn right I will!!! Lets do this!

    Last 10 - 15 pounds to go also...getting so very hard and going so very slow. Oh well....have been doing this for over a year and a half now so couple of months is not going to hurt. Going to do more toning and see what happens. Lets do this. :-)

    I have about 20-25 lbs left. It seems like it is harder than the other 60 I've lost! But definitely determined to get there! Good luck to you too!

    I'm in!
    Well, I don't measure my loss with a scale as I prefer to use a measuring tape. I've got about 2.5" left to lose on my waist and hips before I reach my target and I assume that that's about 10-15lbs(?)

    I'm currwntly on day 15 of the 30 day shred and am attempting to sort out my sleeping schedule so I can implement HIIT. It's hard. Very very freaking impossible! I spent the last two weeks ruining my diet so now I'm going cold turkey and refusing refined carbs. I hope to god I get my results this year. I've been trying to lose this last dress size for a freaking year! -.-

    Good luck everyone! It's hard but so worth it.

    I have 22lbs left to go, Ive started swimming twice a week which I hope will help but Im only on 1300 cals a day so I do struggle sometimes at weekends. I tend to try to stick to 1200 on weekdays to give me some free cals for the weekends. Not sure if it will work but its similar to Weight Watchers principles so fingers crossed!
    Hope you all have a good week - my wieigh in is Friday but I cheated this week and weighed on Tuesday and as I had lost a lb I updated my ticker so I may not get another change this week. Naughty but hopefully good motivation! hehe
