in Introduce Yourself
I've lost about 20 (including the weight I didn't log in when I first set it up here at myfitnesspal) my goal is getting close but can't seem to be moving forward. I'm lacking for that last home run stretch!!! So here is like me, where you procrastinate and instead pushing forward, starting to gain it back slowly...??? :(

I just joined crossfit gym and I start this Sunday! I need friends to encourage, and to encourage back! Thanks!!

    The last 10 are brutal and stubborn!! I lose a couple, gain a couple, very frustrating. Just started Paleo and hope that will be helpful - definitely can't cut any more calories and increasing exercise hasn't seemed to help either. I'm going crazy!

    I've been pushing for that last ten for a while now. Work keeps getting in the way. I lost a lot of ground this last month due to being at site 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, which makes it hard to avoid eating fast food and almost impossible to work out. I'm going to get there though.

    Yeah,, as long as you don't give up.. That's what I say all the time! I'm a mom and I have work and school too. S what I is to pack all my snacks and lunch before bed, so that it's ready in the morning for me. I seriously have no time in the morning to cater my son N myself so if I don't get packing at night, then it's nachos and burritos for me for lunch, which is like over 1400 cal alone!!!

    I've lost 50-50 pounds but I really want to lose a few more pounds and tone up... So frustrating. I''ve been working on this stubborn few pounds for MONTHS. It's true what they say, the last 10 are always the most difficult.

    I think we are in a similar boat. I started at 132 and my goal weight is 115. I have 9 stubborn pounds left! I'm 5'6. How tall are you?

    Those last few are definitely tough. It's like my body is just in a really comfy place. I'm trying to do more HIIT and weight training and hoping that the extra push will help. Would love some new and supportive friends!

    I only really have 10 pounds or so to lose, but OMFG I haven't moved a bit on the scale. However, the food and workouts are paying off with more definition in my abs and legs, and I figure if I can LOOK my goal weight without actually BEING there, I can be content with that.

    BTW, 5'3, 130 pounds.

    Sounds like the EXACT same problem I'm having. I can't seem to shake the extra weight. Keep telling myself I need to lift.. now I just need to do it!!!

    Hello! I feel I am in the same boat as you.....pushing for those last few pounds, fighting the few pounds that want to come back. Please tell me more info about you: What is your goal weight? How tall & what is your age?

    I like your ticker, how do I get one like that?

    I'm on my last 10lbs too and crawling. I've lost 28 so far, and knew the last ones were the hardest. I'm trying different foods though, low calorie, to shock my system and get it out of the same routine of foods to see if that helps. I can't really increase my exercise so thats not an option. Trying not to get discourages, guess 1lb a week is better than none though.

    I lost 50lbs. Then after an injury I gained 10 back. This was 9 months ago and it's been a struggle to get it off. I'm in serious mode now and determined to get it off by summer time!

    Oh yeah....getting down 20 was whole lot easier than pushing the last 10....

    I'm a guy, but in similar situation. I lost about 18 lbs. over the last several months, but that last 10, mostly around my middle and face, just will not go away!!! Any tips on how to shake it, please add me and let me know!!

    meee!!!! 40 down and 10 to go! just started 30 DS but i'm not doing it every day consecutively, more like 3 or 4 days a week. I have to do it at 5am before work since it's the only time there isn't a baby trying to climb my leg and it sucks!

    I am also around the last 10 mark (maybe 15, we'll see after I get 10 off lol) And now I have a deadline I'm aiming for....my beach vacation with my family in July, my WHOLE family! Some comments were made to me recently by some rather negative family members, when they asked me if I was still working out after having my little girl, that once you have kids you might as well kiss your hot body goodbye. I managed to get an even hotter body than I had after having my son, second time around the weightloss is proving to be a little more difficult. I'll show them lol!

    For the ticker, I just chose upload photo option from the settings. I am 5'5 or 5'6 ish. Right now, I'm 120 and my goal weight is 110. 110 because I want enjoy food and reward myself and be confident enough to gain back several. Because my idea weight is 114 ish.
