a little advice please

as well as looking at calories have u looked at the fat content?

try and go easy on carbs and salt as well

have you tried Strength training at all?

I'm sticking too! I eat 1350 cals a day and exercise 5-6 times a week for approx. 60 mins. I'm doing 30 day shred at the mo - on day 5 today. My weight just won't budge. I guess I should be grateful it's not going up again!! :-)

Are you still aiming to lose 1lb a week? As you get closer to your goal you need to slow down a bit. Those last 10lb are really difficult to shift - your body just does not want to give them up. A lot of people recommend that you aim to lose half a pound a week instead for the last few pounds so that your body doesn't want to hold on the them for dear life. You will be eating slightly more but there will still be a deficit, just enough for the weight to come off slowly but not enough to make your body go "hang on a minute - she's trying to lose more weight - I need to hang on to these last few pound!"

You may also find that by changing to half a pound a week in your goals, that you might not be so tired. Another strategy is to try maintaining your current weight for a week or two and then go back to losing but I'd try the first strategy first.

As the others have said, try low GI and complex carbs (go for brown/wholewheat/wholemeal. Avoid it if it's white)

It's a good idea to see how much salt you are eating, but don't go too low on salt. Too little salt can make you very tired too. Our bodies need a certain amount of salt to function properly. If I don't eat enough salt my blood pressure drops very low and I feel very tired all the time. If you are eating a lot of salt then definitely cut it back a little to avoid water retention (and drink plenty of water).

Also, could you be anaemic? Perhaps if you are still feeling tired all the time after trying everyone's suggestions it might be an idea to look at taking a vitamin and mineral supplement. Mild anaemia can make you feel tired all the time too.

You've done really well to get to the last 10lbs. Most people seem to have some trouble shifting them so stick with it and you'll get there. Great job so far

I had the tiredness thing and am also a little anaemic. I take multivitamin with iron for the anaemia and, after numerous blood tests, the docs discovered I have an underactive thyroid just like my mum. I'm now on medication for this forever but I feel like a different person. They also thought it was one of the reasons I wasn't losing weight no matter how I tried. It may have been a contributing factor as, since i've started these tablets, diet etc etc i've lost 19lb. It's just not moving any further now, need to make changes I think!! :-)
