I have 10-15 lbs left to lose and i'm curious as to how many of you have experienced a BIG slow down in your losses. Its so infuriating that i do everything right and still don't lose!!! Makes me NUTS!! But with little to lose i shouldn't be expecting to lose is very quickly...but i prefer steady to anything, even if its just .2 a week!!!!

Yeah, I'm sure you know this, but the less you weigh, the harder it is to lose weight! You need to really up your cardio and maybe cut back just a bit on calories. You can do it! We're here for you!

Exactly! I feel your pain. I have hit 155 and this is my pre-baby weight. I had the hardest time getting below 150 years ago. I am so freakin determined this time! It seems no matter how much I exercise and how well I stay on plan, I just can't lose. I think I am going to do a little more strength training starting....now.

Been there, done that.
I thought those last ten pounds would never go away. Stay persistent and it will happen.

I'm 5'3" and I am about 139. I really want to be 130 so I can "bounce" from 130 to 135 instead of "bouncing" from 135 to 140. I'm on Weight Watchers so I only get 18 pts. I think that's what I get I haven't checked to see if that changed this year. I don't go to meetings, I just keep up with points at home.

Hi there skinnybeach. I too am feeling the same frustration. I make progress during the week, then have a fairly minor slip (weekends ) and poof... start back at the top of those ten-ish pounds.
Argh.
I'm thinking more miles might help. And of course, the ever proven weight training process. But I don't seem to get to that one, at least haven't yet

I'll send you some voodoo loss vibes. Will you send them back?

I hear you all! Same deal here.

[skinnybeach]

Looks like there are several of us all stuck in the same spot! I am of the understanding that it will take time and i just gotta keep going, but its so tough not to see results!!

[Silverstar33]

Yes, I'm on board with this, too! I've got 9 to go and it seems like it's absolutely dragging! I can't wait to get there!

[chickennugget126]

I am, too! I've got about 10 to go as well... and I keep bouncing around anywhere from 129 to 136, it's soooo frustrating. I stopped looking at the scale... it causes too much emotional upset too early in the morning! I've been focusing on weight training and some high-intensity interval running... hoping that might make the fat budge a bit...

It seems like at this point where we all are, any little thing we eat/drink/do shows up on the scale.

I thought my "ideal" goal weight was 125-130. I ended up at 130-135 after 6 months of trying to get those last 5 lbs. off.

I started strength training to make the most of the 133 lbs I've been at for the last 2 months and I love the way my body looks and my clothes fit.

I'm at my "happy" weight - 133 - and I get to eat treats once every couple of days and drink a glass of wine now and again with no worries.

Sometimes your body just won't accept the goal you set and sets its own goal .

way to go for your last 10! wow!

[lumifan4ever]

Mudpie...those are some very smart words. I want so bad to get down to about 120 but maybe what i should be doing is worrying more about getting my cardio system built up (hence being able to jog long distantaces....like 2 or 3 miles) and start working out with weights to build more muscle. Now that my front yard is cleaned out and my bf has moved in...now would be a great time to start building the muscles i may have been abandoning while working on cardio and foods.

I feel your pain. I'm right there with you. Patience has never been a virtue I have possessed.

It will all be worth it in the end though, hang in there!!!
