I lost my first ten, and now I am hanging on a plateau. I lost the first ten in about 5 weeks and have had little to no loss in about a month. I am now looking to lose at least another 10. 20 would bring to my weight in high school, maybe too ambitious ha!. I would like to meet others struggling on this last ten for support. Thanks!!!

    I am in the final stretch as well. Looking around another 10 or 15 depending on how I look and feel. However, it has been extremely difficult. Feel free to add me.

    I'm the same category. Looking to lose another 15. It really is a struggle and would like to know what's working for others as well. :)

    Last 10-17 here depending on how my body looks at the 10 pound mark. This is the point where you need to start looking at those non-scale victories (lost in inches, leaner muscle tone etc). Let's break this plateau.

    I am in the same boat, would love new motivation to stay on track!! I just finished 30 day shred and started Ripped in 30 and I have seen good results, slow on the scale but great in measurements. Good luck to you all! :)

    I am in a nasty cycle moment. I hit my goal weight, and am so happy with how i look that i relax and enjoy food / booze for a few weeks.

    Of course i then gain weight (around 8 pounds) before hitting my "alarm" weight -and freak out that i am going to become "that" person again.

    I am then very well behaved until i drop back down... thus starting the cycle again.

    I feel like i know how to lose (and to gain!) but not maintain!

    HELP

    Fighting my last 10kgs to my dream goal, but I'd be more than happy if I got 5 down. Losing the first 25+ kgs was sooo much easier and faster. I've been stuck at the last 10 for 2ish years now, but right now is my most serious attempt at losing those. So, feel free to add me - always seeking new friends :)

    I've got another 15ish pounds (7kg) to go! Feel free to add me, anyone :) I recently stepped it up a notch, trying to reduce over-doing it on the weekends and just started strength training along with my cardio at the gym.

    I've got 14 lbs to hit my goal weight and also have not lost in a month. But I've not been doing real well in the eating dept, hope to put a stop to that, did real well this weekend, which is usually the bad part of the week. Hope to keep off the pound I lost. My main goal is to lose the little back fat that I have, I think the final 10 lbs are all sitting there. Feel free to add me

    i held my goal weight for 8 months while continuing to TRY to lose another 5 to reach my husband's idea of my goal weight. Then I stopped tracking while travelling, and in the last 9 months put 9lb back on.

    I need to get back on track. I'm struggling because I can't seem to bring myself to commit to what I remember of my initial 30lb loss. It was a lot of saying NO to things I wanted to say YES to. It was a lot of watching other people eat what I couldn't have. It was also a lot of low-energy, no-motivation, high-irritability time and I don't want to subject my family to that again.

    Yep i hear that - I have actually started to consider the phrase 'Fat and Happy'!

    I know to remain slim and at my goal weight I cannot drink anywhere near as much beer as i would like to, nor can i eat the amount of cheese / cream / pasta etc...

    I understand that people say everything in moderation... but moderation does not make me happy!

    Hahaha

    Every womans dream = to eat without getting fat!

    Feel free to add me. I've got 15 to go and it is really hard! I lose like half a pound and then nothing over several weeks time! At this point I would be thrilled to lose .5 pound a week - as long as it was consistent! I've been adjusting my calories and changing up my workouts to see if that will help break this plateau. I also find it incredibly frustrating and could use some encouragement myself! I do know that not watching what I eat and not exercising will NOT result in weight-loss though, so that is why I haven't given up, even though I have only lost a pound in the past 2 months.

    I've lost 35 in 4 months and I have 20 to go. I was stuck in a plateau for about 4 weeks until I started the 24 day challenge from Advocare. I broke through my plateau in the first 2 days and I am down 4 lbs after day 10. I work out 5-6 times a week and am pretty good about eating well, but the Advocare products are giving me my last push. I joined Fitness Pal to see if anyone else needs a little boost for their commitment to a healthy lifestyle and weight goals.

    Same for me. I'm down to 166, which is my high school weight but I can't get the last 6-10 off. I'm hoping that now with the weather warming up, I'll be more active outside and the weight will start to come off. Anyone on the thread please feel free to add me as a friend.
