    i feel your pain... I have 10 pounds left to go..I'm working out like crazy.. but my cravings for bad food keep sneaking up on me.. Today I had to break and have some pizza.. but ate really lite for the rest of the day. I need a lot of support when it comes to how I eat.. Starting monday I'm going to try to do my meal replacements for dinner only to start.. and slowly work my way into replacing lunch and breakfast until I lose the extra weight. The I will have to deal with maintenance.. Which will be a whole different ball game.

    lost 60 pounds on weight watchers, it took 9 months. I still have 15 more to go. I am at a stand still. It sucks but I do know that if I keep eating the right foods it will come off. I just want it to happen faster. I did read something about flax seed and chia seeds. i think I may add that to my diet to see if it help. doc. oz talked about it. what do you think.

    Feel free to add me. I lost 40lbs relatively easily last year and then the weight loss just came to a grinding halt and nothing I've tried is working. For the past 5 months I've tried lowering calories more, raising calories, no wheat, no sugar, low-ish carb (I tried low carb but I couldn't do that for very long at all b/c it affected my running), less exercise, more exercise, blah blah blah. And yet I just go and up down the same ~5 pounds.

    I still have a lot of belly fat that I need to lose.

    eta: The next thing I think I'm going to try is to get a heart rate monitor and food scale b/c I use measuring cups/spoons but I'm not sure how accurate that is. And it seems like MFP's calorie burn estimates might be a little high.

    I am in the same spot myself also! Started off needing to lose 20, first 10 came off easy, now I'm about 7lbs away from my goal and I've been stuck here for months. It's like my body is just determined to hold onto that last bit. It's difficult, but I've been trying to change up my routine and the foods I eat to see what that'll do. It's all trial and error at this point, and almost all of it is specific to your body's needs alone. Feel free to add me though, support is key. I myself have just returned to ftp after feeling frustrated for a while.

    I'm there, too! After my daughter was born, I lost about 15 pounds fairly easily, but I keep bouncing around between 160-170 and my goal weight is about 150 (still haven't decided the exact weight yet). I'll add you!

    Oh my goodness I feel like I literally *just* posted exactly this same thread a few minutes ago!! Well, I guess add me into the group!! I'm looking to lose about 10 pounds of fat, and you're all completely right, it's the last 10 that are so stubborn!! Add me to your friends if you like, I totally know how it feels!

    I like to jog, take long walks, dance, and do some weights.
