Looking for Active Friends for the Last Stubborn 20!

I'm looking to add some new, active MFPers that can relate to the sheer torture of being so close ... yet so far! I'm in that last 20 lbs, trying to figure out the best way to eat and how many calories will work to ease me into maintenance without plateauing. (hopefully before I go crazy crunching the numbers!)

I've recently incorporated weight training to my routine and I'm starting that mental shift from losing weight to getting fit.

Sadly, a number of my pals here have gone inactive lately and I'd like to liven it up!

Any takers?

    I'm trying to lose the last 10, and I'm severely struggling.
    Adding you as a friend :)
    Hopefully we can encourage one another to keep working

    I'm in. Already down 30 but looking at 20 more to get to my goal weight. And like you, finally incorporating the fitness into the equation. Ready to get started!

    We're already friends, but I so totally hear you on the struggle. I'm trying to eat more, but I feel like I'm not making any progress. I know slow and steady wins the race, but when you're so close it's hard to wait any longer! I'm not sure what to do. I'm going to stick out eating more for a while longer to see if it helps. I do NOT want to lose muscle.

    It helps to have friends who are active on here. I hope you get a bunch more.

    I have been fighting to lose the last 15-20lbs forever! At this point I want to get 15 pounds gone and see if I really need to work on the extra 5! I workout like a machine. My main problem is food and drinks hehe.

    Ok I think I got all that didn't grab me first. (oh that sounds flirty)

    Friend each other too!

    @Kincar you will always be my MFP twin! It's hard and I know we are inching our way along. Literally. It helps knowing I'm not alone.

    Wow this group is growing! That last 10, 20 and 30ish is a real stickler. Who knew it would be this hard right at the end!? SO glad to have found others in the same place. :D
