    Late night snacking and dessert is what is stopping me from loosing that last little bit too. I hope we both find the answer soon. :)

    there is nothing wrong with any of those things if they fit into your daily calories/macros.

    you need a small deficit (1/2lb per week) and a decent strength training routine to get rid of the last few lbs

    I too have 10lb to lose and im finding it soo hard hard also. I think a lot of us are in the same boat.
    I try not eat after 7pm i know sometimes thats not possible but every now and then shouldnt hurt too much.
    Im also a carb junky so love pasta, potatoes, bread etc which i know is so bad but i crave them, they are my weakness.
    so i try and limit it so if i have pasta for lunch i try and have something like broth for tea, or salmon and veg, or a salad.

    as for deserts, id say dont deny yourself anything as thats when your more likely to cave completely and binge. i find it handy keeping a box of thorntons in the house at all times then after a meal if i need something sweet, i will allow myself 1 thorntons chocolate. its usually enough to satisfy my sweet tooth.

    hope this helps. :)

    Stuck in the same boat, think strength training is the only way. So close and yet so far!
