Can't seem to lose 10 lbs! There's not much else I can do!

I think my diary is open if you would like to check it out and tell me what you think.

It is not.

Ok, I will have to see how to open that, Im new here and still finding my way around the site.

My Home > Settings> Diary Settings

I looked at your diary and you are eating alot of processed foods with alot of sodium. Processed foods = belly fat. Sodium = water weight. You will have to adjust your diet to suceed.

Don't put a deadline.
You are losing something? Wonderful!

As my WW leader once said to me when my progress went from 0.6lb a week down to 0.2lb a week- he said, at this point, that's as much as you'll get.

And that's really good enough.

If you track your food honestly and net a deficit you will lose.
I think 1200 is a little hard to maintain, and would tell you to try 1400, but that's just me.

I have some food allergies/intolerances that make me sick when I eat certain foods. Still figuring it all out, but the only thing that has worked for me to lose weight is to cut out all dairy, wheat, sugar and alcohol. Fruits/veggies/lean meats, non-wheat grains. I'm only on the third week of following this method of eating, so we'll see what happens at the end of the five-week suggested period, but so far it keeps me full and makes me feel better (sleep, less mood swings) while losing the weight. Less inflammation for sure, swelling around my abdomen has gone down drastically and my joint pain in my left knee is reduced. (The oversimplification is 2/3 plate is fruit/vegetables, 1/3 is protein or grain, or a combination of the two -- you have more protein and no grains at breakfast. 3 meals a day, 2 snacks -- meals/snacks can be any size as long as you eat in that ratio.) I'm kind of surprised at how easy it is (I thought it would be HELL, that I'd be dying for my favorite cookie bakery that just opened down the street, because they want me to suffer). But because I don't have to count calories or weigh food, I actually do it -- I guess I need really strict rules so I just remember what I'm supposed to be doing. And I just eat until I'm not hungry. My sugar cravings died after five days and now I don't want certain foods as much as I did (cookies -- I'd better stop mentioning them, though, or I'll undo all my work). I broke my weight barrier (153lbs was the lowest I could get for decades) and just yesterday went down to 152lbs. http://toquietinflammation.com/ I know it's frustrating when you're so close...I'm losing the last 10lbs, too. But it's great to know there are a lot of things that work! Sounds like a lot of great suggestions here, everyone is so different, I'm sure you'll find something. GOOD LUCK!

I say talk to your Dr. I don't know what you are taking for meds but many of my friends with crohn's disease are taking steriods or steriod based medicines & those often cause weight gain. So in my humble opinion talking to your doctor about your weight concerns would be your best bet.
