Lose the last 8-10lbs still eat anything?

I know you said you don't exercise, but can't you incorporate more walking into your daily routine. I have been doing that, just making sure I walk around a lot more and with more body movement and it's really working for me.

I'm down to the last 7 lbs. Weight loss has definitely slowed down. I used to eat 2 or three cheat meals a week...I've had to cut those out to down to maybe 2 or 3 a month, and most weeks I've jacked up the ammount of cardio i do. The diet is what makes the weight go away. You gotta be patient.

I only had 7-9 pounds to lose to begin with. I was frustrated because it was taking forever. I ended up going to a more low glycemic way of eating which also has me eating every 2-3 hours (smaller meals and snacks) without fail so my blood sugar never drops. I'm never every hungry. I also have a good fibrous carb, protein, and a good fat at every meal and snack. My macros are usually 40%carbs, 30% protein and 30%fat. Lots of veggies and some fruits that are low on the glycemic index. (good carbs: brown rice, quinoa, sweet potato, 100% whole grain or sprouted grain like Ezekiel bread....NO white potatoes or wheat breads...your body processes these the same and raises blood sugar...very high glycemic. Good fats: olive oil, avocado, nuts, natural peanut or almond butters, flax).

Anyway, I've lost weight consistently, my sugar cravings are gone, my skin is clearer, I sleep and wake better. It's changed my life actually. I wish I'd done this years ago. It requires some prep at the start of the week. It's worth it. I work out and get about 1450-1600 calls avg per day. Most days I have to force some of those calories in which is SO opposite of how it was when I was eating processed stuff with more sugar and artificial sweeteners (I only use pure Stevia as a sweetener now...a good brand, not the big brand commercial ones mixed its chemicals.)

I know you said you don't want to change a lot. But, you can keep doing things the same way and keep getting the same results or you can try something else that will work. I was spinning my wheels and not going anywhere and was tired of it, my body is changing now and it's great.

I lost 20 lbs. eating pretty much whatever I wanted but keeping to the TDEE for my goal weight. I am down to the last 3-5 lbs. now and I found that I had to really cut back on the sodium (needed to do that anyway due to family history of HBP). Once I cut back on the sodium and worked hard to drink more water, I dropped about 3 lbs. pretty quickly. I am not too worried about losing the last 3-5. It will eventually come off, and I am pretty much OK with where I am now. 133 vs.153 at 5'4" and from 33% body fat to 26% body fat.
