Who's in the last 20 lbs before goal?! - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

I'm 15 lbs away from the top of my goal weight. Maybe we could support each other?

These last pounds are the hardest to take off. I would love to have some friends working along with me

hi there, I'm about 25 pounds off goal....but would love the support

I've got about 18 pounds to go, I think. I still don't really have a 'set in stone' goal weight. Originally it was 170, now it's 160. I don't think it's going to move much from there.

Both of you have lost so much weight already, congrats!

I am! 12-15lbs to go, depending on daily fluctuations!

Cali Doll · 04-16-2013, 12:21 PM

Last 20 right here.

Last 20 - and I've been at a standstill for 4 weeks, literally. My weight will not go down any further

Underwater----just want to say, GREAT JOB!!! You are so inspiring to me and your progress is amazing!!! I have more than 20 to go but I'm trudging on every day. It's people like you that make me want to keep going!!!

Hello all, I have about 10 more lbs to go, but I'm thinking of changing it to 15 more. I guess I'll do my original goal of 10lbs and decide once I get there. So I'm in!

whos that girl · 04-17-2013, 04:32 PM

I have twenty one more pounds to go...but thinking I may need to change that number to more like thirty..im not liking what im seeing or feeling thus far

Missy Krissy · 04-17-2013, 04:38 PM

I've got 16 pounds 'till my original goal (my goal might change when I get there though, I'll just have to wait and see).

And yes, it's too true: the closer I get the slower it goes! We're talking molasses in January slow.

I've got 14 more to go and it is so frustrating! I can tell that my body is changing.. just wish the numbers on the scale would change as well. LOL

Elvis, thank you!!! I think we are very similar. I read all your posts and I am on a doctor-supervised low calorie program, too. Mine is called HMR. It's not very common, which is surprising to me as it is very successful. It is run out of the Weight Management department at my doctor's office and my supervising doctor also sees a lot of weight loss surgery patients and she says my program is more successful at the 5 year mark for weight kept off then the surgery.

What is your program like? I bet you exercise more that I do. We have to burn 2000 calories a week and I usually do 2000-2200.

Hi,

I am 17 pounds from my goal, so i am with you. I am having trouble moving the scales down. I go through periods of them getting stuck to a number, then come 2-3 days where they go UP, and then suddenly they go down further than before and then.......get stuck there again....till next time. I suppose that is the way my body is loosing weight and sometimes it's frustrating.....it took me 3 freaking months to loose 12 pounds. I know it's so so slow, but i cannot do it quicker. I need to eat properly or else i am going to faint. Too much fatigue during my day. I am highly active so i do not aim on crash diets. I suppose if i ate less i would have seen quicker results, but i try not to fret too much about my slow progress.....

berryblondeboys · 04-18-2013, 09:29 AM

Well, I'm a bit above that as I would really like to get to 165 and I'm a shade over 185), but anything under 170 is golden in my book.

Of course, the last time I joined a "last 15-20 pounds" I never lost the last 15-20 pounds!!!! ARGH!!!

This time is different though and I'm rolling along. AND I'm stronger (physically) and more fit. Now I want people to be able to see that muscle definition, not have it hidden under the layers of fat! (I'm at about 33% body fat right now).
