People with only few kilos to loose?

need to lose 10 kilos......it is taking forever. I have to watch everything & exercise. don't know if I can do it this year.

I want to lose 10 kg, so far I've lost 2,7 kg. (In 23 days with MFP)

The thing that really helps me is to watch what and how much I eat and to be conscious of how much food fits into my day to not gain weight.

Sent you a request, Paula

About 3kg to go actually, that I can't seem to lose after having my babies. After playing with my diet and exercise for a year and attempting different approaches, I decided to start logging to be more mindful of calories in vs out. I tried to avoid logging in the past because it's a pain in the you-know-what... but I think I have no choice now. So here I am, 11 days in and 1kg down (after gaining 2 in the past month)

I've got 7kg to lose! From 87 to 80kg. But it's slow progress cos I'm trying to gain muscle at the same time so it's tough to track how much I'm actually losing

Hi all, first day back after quite a long time off the wagon! I was actually afraid to weigh myself this morning ( Mondays suck enough as it is!) but I reckon I have 8-10kgs to lose. I have tried logging before but never really joined in the community and I hope this time the extra support will be the motivation I need. Good luck everybody x

Over the course of this year i have lost most of the weight i wanted to lose. I tried a few different things but always come back to my way. I've just had a hiccup on the path, have got sick of calorie counting and returned to basic food logging which tends to work for me too. Its less time consuming but i can still monitor myself and make adjustments without feeling all over the place.

But as i was saying, i had a hiccup and am now in a phase where i am just eating as much as i need to whilst eating really healthy, especially vegetables, and will wait until i feel like cutting back some more. When you eat really healthy, you can easily eat less so long as the food is yummy and not boring old steamed veg and skinless chicken breast type meals.

I find when my mood is really strong and i'm feeling motivated, this is the time to try hard to cut back the calories/food. But i don't think cutting back severely is necessary unless you want to try something like 5:2 fasting. If so check out the fast diet website. Read the faq and the how. I did the 5:2 diet for a while but i've just got sick of calorie restriction and stopped when i was in a low mood. Even so i still think aiming for a pound or less per week to lose is best.

But i did find doing the fasting a good thing for a while and will probably do it again.

As regards i don't do it because I can't keep it up for the most part. That said, i don't really move enough. I do like wearing a pedometer and i've just started tennis which has the important social aspect which makes exercise more motivating for me.

Don't snack. Eat decent meals of mostly fruit and vegetables but keep your protein up along with all other nutrition. Don't cut out fats but choose healthy ones. I find olive oil to be one of my favourite ingredients. I use it in almost everything. It makes vegetables taste good all the time. Avoid sugar. Minimise white bread, rice and pasta but i don't think its necessary to cut them out completely. (having done low carb for 6 weeks). Instead, do try to find other slow digesting carbs and eat more of them e.g. beans, lentils and chickpeas. A bit more effort is required with food preparation but its so worth it.

Hi all:)

Ideally I would like to lose the 2-3 kg I have put on during summer (I blame alcohol), but most of all I just want to be back on a healthy diet and get moving/tone up (was back at the gym yesterday for the first time in a month...almost threw up). My problem areas are my arms and legs/cankles.

I am not new to this site, but I have not logged in for a long time. I always end up getting tired of counting calories, but I think that mfp is great for motivation and this time I will try to be active in the community.

Feel free to add me!

Good morning same here only 10 kilos to lose and can't get there. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but its not coming off. Becoming discouraged and I really don't wan to give up.

Hi every one,

I've noticed that a lot of individuals on my fitness pal are tackling bigger amounts of kgs to loose and I find it hard to relate too since we are all at different stages. Any of you that only have 0-10kgs to loose? How are you going with it

I'm in that boat... i have about 4kg to lose... then i just want to keep my eating habits under control and start building more muscle! the only way i can do this is with lots of meal planning and careful tracking. My background is finance so I'm a numbers guy!

Hi guys, this is my first post, I only have about 3kgs to lose, but I am looking to tone up a lot and the weight is just not coming off, I have stayed roughly the same for months, I think for me I probably need to up my exercise, but I live in the desert and have very fair skin so I find it really tough to exercise during the day in the sun. Any ideas for cardio options in the house?
