in Motivation and Support
I am looking for additional support from others who are in a like position who also want to lose about 10 pounds. I have never really had to be concerned with my weight but have found that after 4 children and approaching (or in the middle of!) menopause, weight has been finding its way on my body! I love to encourage others (and am inspired as well) by MFPers who are making phenomenal progress but find that losing the final pounds seem to be the toughest. Anyone out there who can share tips, etc.?

    Def search the posts and boards with the search feature for key words like "not that much" or something similar- I've seen a couple groups form for this... Good luck!

    I want to lose 12lbs... Started walking every day and cutting out sugar and alcohol. Eating the right food is the next step... Have a few recipes from Tesco's dieting (not a member, just the free stuff). But must admit I'm finding it hard to get motivated. Pity as once I get started I know it will be ok. What is your motivation?

    Good luck to you! And it's great that you want to stsy in shape!

    I am doing this mostly for myself. My husband is a good motivator in the sense that he keeps himself in shape. I also think me being a good role model for my children - I want them to have a life than always includes exercise and a healthy eating style. Never heard of Tesco so it's something I'll google. Thanks!

    I have about 10 pounds left to go. You'll need to eat a at least few hundred calories under maintenance if you want to lose the last couple pounds. If you don't eat enough as your body fat % drops, your metabolism will slow down and you will burn more muscle than fat.
