It's SO HARD to lose those pounds! You're not very big..so your body needs less calories to exist...which means your deficets(sp?) are small, even on low calorie diet. I feel like I run a marathon (or more) for each pound lost! Patience patience patience..and work work work!!!
Haha. Anyone else in the 10-30 club?

I'm with you.... I've been trying to lose the same 15-20 lbs for years....sigh.0

I have about 12 lbs to lose...although, I like where my weight is now...I think it is more that I want to tone the butt and thighs! I am afraid if I lose much more weight, I won't have any boobies left! :frown:0

I'm trying to lose 25 more lbs! First 10 came off in a month and now I am stuck.0

Here too. I have under 10 to lose and have been stuck. On this plateau. Forever. I've tried so many things, and am trying to be patient. I am just starting Power 90, no small feat for me at 52, but I am determined to do it.0

ditto! it took me almost 5 months to lose 30 pounds....although I'd like to lose another 20 and be at 140 it is going reaaaallly slow now0

I am in this club and must say it can get very frustrating sometimes because the closer we get to our goal the harder it is to get it off. I have about 20 lbs to go to get to my goal weight. I just started counting calories Tuesday and going to weigh myself in the morning to see how the progress is coming along. I work night shift so on the days I work I have to adjust my meals carefully and awkwardly with my sleeping schedule. I use to love doing Zumba for exercise before I started night shift but since then I don't get the chance to do any exercise except for playing with the kids in the back yard or might get lucky and have time to walk. I really don't like drinking water but since I've started MFP I have been faithful about drinking the required amount like it or not! Guess it's a neccessary evil.0

im with yall! i have 12lbs get my pre pregger weight then 25 be back pre wedding weight0

MEEEE!!!! I have about 7-12 more pounds to go and its driving me absolutely nuts!!! Seems the only time I can get weight off anymore is when I have a stomach bug which is rare like once a year rare . I have been at this same plateau for over a month after managing to lose 3-5lbs (depending on the day) and before then I was stuck for 14months!!0

It's taken me 3 months to lose 10 pounds.. I'm going on 4 months now and I still have 5 more pounds. It's a VERY slow process BUT it is so worth it.
I'm mainly just focused on getting the BF % down, can't rely on the scale when we have such a small amount of weight to lose compared to others.. It's just discouraging.0 -
I'm right there with you. I lost 60 so far, but i'm struggling to get over this plateau!!0
-
Uuuuhhh…. me! 8lbs to "goal". 18lbs to unrealistic goal, lol0
-
I'm with ya! I have 15lbs left and will probably want to do another 5 after that, but we'll see. I'm more concerned with having a healthy body than with what the scale says. I know it's going to be a long road so I have adopted the whole eat more to weigh less theory and so far I'm very happy with it0

I'll be the first guy to reply ...
I want to loose around 8lbs .. but would be happy to gain 8lbs also -- if it were muscle and I got tone with definition.... Its only been a few weeks since joining MFP, and I've lost 3lbs .. but now I am stuck at 170lbs mark.... :-(0 -
me too! i want to lose 30 total, i have 20 to go. the first 10 went to easy, i was psyched! now i am getting discouraged because i seem to have stalled. :frown:0
-
yes! the last bit of pudge is just on my stomach, and it is so hard to get rid of0
-
Same....last 20 or so, up, down, up, down....0

This is me too! Finally getting into my good jeans that I haven't worn in 2 years, but my boobs are disappearing! I also have about 12 lbs to go.0 -
Yep. me too. after i had my 2nd child, i was stuck with this stubborn 20-25 pounds that refused to go anywhere. but now i started this site, and in the last month i have lost 12 pounds. but still have another 15 pounds to go. I'm sure the last 10-15 will be the hardest to lose. but i'm determined to keep working at it hard. i will get my body back.0

I have just barely under 10 to lose, and I am thinking it might take me as long as the other 32 lbs did.0
