I need some serious suggestions on how to kick my last few pounds of weight after losing 60 pounds already. (And before you suggest my goal is too low - it's not....I probably have another 20 pounds on me that I could lose) How can I kick start my metabolism and drop the last bit of weight to reach my goal!!!!? I'm putting more effort into it than ever and not seeing results!!!

    Shock your body! Change your workout up completely, add some HIIT and some strength training. Maybe even eat mainenance calories for a week or so, then drop back to your to lose number. Those are some of the plateau busters that seem to work.

    change your routine and try eating more. Set your goal to lose 0.5lbs/week and eat your exercise caloires. If your caloric deficit is too large and you don't have much to lose you risk burning muscle instead of fat.

    I agree with changing things up. If you aren't lifting weights, try that...if you are are, do cardio in between sets. If you don't run try running, that got me over my plateau last fall. Make diet adjustments too.

    Have to agree with the bodyshock!

    Every month I'm having what I call a 'reset' day, just eating how I used to prior to starting MFP - so an unhealthy breakfast, big lunch and perhaps a McDonald's for dinner followed by some unhealthy chocolatey snacks at night.

    Not only do I use this as a reward for doing so well all month, but it also seems to shock my metabolism back into weight loss mode. Not to mention, it reminds me of what it used to feel like filling my body with crap (for want of a better word) and being so full it makes you lethargic, etc.
