    I have 10 pounds left to lose too and I've been struggling to lose it for several months.

    I'm there with you struggling with the last 5-10 (my goal is 140 right now, but I'm considering shooting for 135). Taking forever. But hey - worth it. Keep pushing!

    I did this same thing last year...got within 9 lbs of goal and then gained everything back plus 10 lbs....so frustrating!!!

    Two issues once you get down to the last 10... (1) not slipping back to old habits and gaining (I gained some back and now am within two pounds of the original loss) and (2) fighting those stubborn last pounds that hanging tight.

    How do you set goals? I am 46 and 5 '6.5" and I work out so I have some good lean muscle. Right now my goal is 137, but I'm thinking about changing it to 132.
