Newbie here... looking for advice for those last 10 pounds.

If you know for a fact that you are logging accurately (re: you are weighing all your food, as you said) then I would start to slightly lower your deficit as you go, particularly if you find you are stalling. I know you're annoyed with this stubborn 10 pounds but if you really develop the habit of eating close to what maintains your ideal body (TDEE at your goal) you won't have a problem gaining back once you get there.

I would also focus on hitting your protein macro and keep an emphasis on strength training so that you look even more awesome when you get there. With so little left to lose, it's about looking good, not lessening your relationship with gravity (which is all your weight really means). Good luck!

U weigh just fine to me, that's why.
there's not much to lose.

so you have to change your eating habits. more veggies and fruits if you really want to get there.
plus more cardio. cheat days and small treats will make a big difference in the scale.
Decrease your sodium consumption. More water. These are probably why you don't see results.

I agree with a lot of the previous comments. It took me 6 months to loose the last 10 pounds. Only after that did I clean up my diet. It was like magic. I lost another 7 pounds. I was already doing a lot of strength training and cardio. So, my advice is eat 100% clean most of the time. But, allow treats every now and then so you don't feel deprived. Eat lots of fruits, vegetable, and proteins. Drink lots of water.
My last bit of advice; Read all ingredients on labels and learn what the long words really mean. This made the biggest difference for me. After I educated myself on ingredients, I no longer wanted to eat a lot of packaged foods.

I would suggest changing your exercise routine and ignoring the scale.

At your current weight, the scale won't show the most of your progress if you want to "tone up" (look lean and strong, lowering body fat %). Pay more attention to the mirror (take before photos because, if you're like me, you won't notice the progress otherwise), how your clothes fit, the tape measure, and possibly the body fat % readings.

I would also suggest adding more weights. I'm not super familiar with fitness blender, but if it's like a lot of other cardio-weight programs, it really isn't enough weights to get those goals you want. Lifting heavy things is what will do it. Look into either New Rules of Lifting for Women or Starting Strength, both are books which help you understand the compound lifts (and the second helps set up a good program). You won't get bulky if you're eating at a deficit, but you will lose fat while mostly preserving muscle (even though the scale might not show your progress which is why I say to ignore it).

Just for reference, I'm 5 feet tall, perhaps 5'1" on a good day :laugh: I weigh between 128 and 130. I've been lifting heavy since August, 2-3 times a week, and while my calories are set to 1600 I've been really lazy about measuring or logging, so I'm sure I've averaged more like 2000 a day or more :ohwell: Still, in that time, I've gone from 26.8% body fat to 22.4% and from snug size 6 jeans to comfortable 4 and occasionally size 2 depending on cut & brand. My profile picture (the one in the blue top) is from August, and I'll post one here from a couple of weeks ago. Yes, I have some work still to do, but my point is you don't need to starve yourself … with the right kind of work and diet (aim for ~100g protein a day, at your size), you can look great even if the scale is higher than you expected.
