Looking for advice to shed the last 10 pounds... 5'8"

The last 10 lbs can be frustrating for some, you have to be more accurate with your calories (so using a food scale to weigh is a good idea if you aren't already) and have patience. Also water weight fluctuations are more noticeable the closer you are to your goal. So keep that in mind.

I am a bit shorter at 5'7 but right now I am around 130lbs. It took me about 4 months to lose 8lbs. I eat a balanced diet with higher protein, lots of lean meats, dairy, veggies, also treats where I can..I don't cut anything out. I don't track right now but I would say over 2000 cals per day on average (when I was losing). I lift weights 3-4x per week. A bit of cardio and yoga in between. Very active day to day. What you do will look different obviously. You don't have to go crazy with the exercise, start with something maintainable/enjoyable and be consistent. And again, get out that food scale !

Lots of patience. When you are close to goal, your "window" gets smaller. The amount of calories you have to "cut" gets greater and it gets harder to lose the weight. You have to "perfect" consistantly and I'm sorry, that's hard.

So...if you haven't been weighing your food, start. You may have to increase your activity to get the scale moving. Something to increase that deficient.

I started back to lose 13lbs on July 31st. I started early because I know even the best made plans have road blocks. Currently I'm down 10 of those 13. Most days I'm between 1200-1300 calories, but I've had days where I've gone over maintainance. I planned for "special weekends". I have until Nov. 10th to get the 3lbs off and I feel that with my waxing dedication, I'll need ALL those weeks to do so. The first 10 was easy, I was inspired by how quickly it was coming off and the fact that my jeans didn't fit. But now things fit and feel good, those 3lbs aren't THAT important..

But I'll keep on as much as I can. I've accepted that it will be slow.

Glad you asked-- I'm almost in the exact same boat! 32, 5 ft 8 in, 145 pounds currently (down from 167). Would like to get to 135-137. I hit 145 around July and have been hovering around 143-146 since. Admittedly, I have not been tight with logging (aka letting extra snacks and wine sneak back into my diet), which is almost always my problem when I stall for so long. I'm viewing the last few months as a break and getting back to measuring out everything this week. Also trying intermittent fasting and only eating from 2pm to 10pm as a rule this month as a way to cut back on the lunchtime snacking since I'm rarely hungry until mid-afternoon anyway. It's not magic, but it's helped cut out some cals (especially over the weekend) that I now realize I don't need. However it ends up coming off, it'll be slow! Keep at it and good luck!

I'm 5'8.5". My goal is 145-150, currently at 160 (and not unhappy). I don't think 130s would look good on me. I can maintain at 2300, and am currently re-starting trying to lose at 2000 calories (average), plus I usually eat my exercise calories. I lift weights, ride bikes, and walk.
