Anyone else 5'7, in shape, but trying to lose those last 5 p

I'm 5'7 too, and 135 pounds and all I can say is, eat healthy, eat between 1,200 and 1,450 net calories and you will get there (depending on how slow you want to go).

The main difference between being thin, and being overweight is that while people starting at a larger weight might find 1'700 net a deficient, this might be more like our maintenance.

The reason I say eat vaguely healthy is that although this might not have an impact on your weight, it does have an impact on your health, and if you can re-program your taste buds to enjoy healthy foods you'll find it easier to eat healthy (and thus less calorific) foods.

Really it is all the same principles.



I've still got my last 10 pounds to loose but this are some specifics that help me;

Exercise (to look better, but not to scale better)

Spices such as cinnamon, chai, chili, garlic and ginger (flavour those healthy foods into something that you want to eat)

Leaning- reading the labels of all the packaged foods that you put into your body (I do this pretty much every time, force of habit- I look at the calories, the protein and the carbs, and sometimes the saturated fats )

Everything in moderation- but I also tried to invent lower calorie replacements. Cinnamon toast with a tiny bit of sugar and stevia may not be anything like a cinnamon donut, but I made my tastebuds get used to the idea that they were only ever going to get 'alternatives' to the unhealthy foods, they stopped craving them as much, and now they are used to what I eat
When I started I used salad as a replacement for chips. Now I just eat salad. As salad. Not as a replacement for anything. But I still eat chips at parties or at other people's houses. So basically it's that 'everything in moderation' principle people preach (I also didn't want to look like that dieting freak).

the last 10 to 5 pounds are always stubborn and hard to get rid off its like they don't want to leave, what i would do is grab a butcher knife lay that flap on a cutting board and chop it off!! hahaha totally kidding! but yeah honestly if your counting calories just cut back a lil more. like try to eat more greens less complex or starchy carbs. carbs no later than 6 of coarse and to top it off try running in the morning before breakfast twice or three times. combine all of that and give it 2 weeks and your done! and ohh dont forget those crunches to tighten up your lower abs because i bet that's where that 5 pounds is hanging off!

Winners find a way, losers find an excuse

well i didn't mean cut back a lot i think i said a little more but i wasn't sure of what your goal is and what shape your in. now that you mentioned then do more of circuit training workouts if you never tried it always try something new. or even cross fit these are all perfect for getting that body that your looking for as for a six pack like i said do more leg up/ weighted leg ups crunches cable crunches weighted twist to give you that V shape.

no problem and good luck!!

I'm 5'9 and down to 155, trying to get to 150. Its driving me batty. 153 one day, 156 the next, then back down to 154. I am also 42 and have thyroid issues, even just getting from 162 (my recent high weight) down to this weight was tough. Today I skiied and did NOT eat well. Also traveled last week, and both days flying were bad. So I am hopeful these next few days/weeks will be better!

I have no tips.......I"m 5'6 and half and trying to lose the last 10......since october.

I'm 5/7 and weigh 127 I want to lose 8 more that's it just so you can see my six pack that's hiding under it but it's not budging I've just upped my calories by 150 a day and eating 5 times instead of 2-3 it seems to be helping. Feel free to add me!

Okay so I'm 5'7 I weight 145 pounds so I'm fit but I wanna lose those last 5 pounds ! But again the skinnier you are the harder it is to lose weight!! Anyone have any tips?
