Just looking for people and ideas for those who only have a bit to lose. Most people on here want to lose tremendous amounts of weight. I basically don't want to lose any weight, just replace about 5lbs of fat with muscle or thin air.

    I am the same. I would like to lose about 3 pounds. It's pretty hard - in some ways I think it is harder than if I had 30 pounds to lose. It's still about 2% of my body weight so that is still a struggle.

    Good luck with your 5 lbs!

    As someone who has lost ~35 lbs with 5 to 10 to go, this is the hardest. Especially if you are for the most part eating decently and exercising.

    Howdy!

    I'm hoping to lose 5-10 pounds and it is absolutely the most difficult thing for me to do. Its such a challenge, and I'd be happy to get any advice/suggestions/support!

    When I started I wanted to lose 10 lbs. I've lost almost five of it already, but quite happy with the way I look right now. However, that last pesky 5 would be nice to get off so I'm in the same boat. :o)

    I've never been below 135, so it's really hard to break that wall! I keep waffling...

    I am in the same boat as you, my goal isn't so much about weight as it is about getting my BMI down to 18% I need or want at least 5 more pounds of muscle and transforming this last bit of fat into muscle has been very hard. So right now my main focus is to continue working out at least 6 days a week and really be more efficient with eating clean calories. I would look into eating the correct portions of lean meats and green vegies. Good nutrition has made a huge difference in making my body lean, so I would start there:)

    Im in the same boat- I dont have anything to lose but I want to replace some "fluff" with muscle. It gets tough when you get down to the last couple of pounds!
