  • I'm right there with you! I'm 15 pounds away from my goal as well. This is going to sound stupidly simple, but increase your water intake. (I'm a Diet Dr. Pepper addict, so this was really hard at first!) I have one of those tall aluminum water bottles, and keep it filled up. Something else that really helped me was taking…
