I am counting calories and keeping a food journal. Also exercising daily (with breaks here and there...usually on weekends) and trying to add more vegetables to my everyday diet.
calorie counting and vastly whole food diet...I also exercise usually every day (45 minute run)
ETA: I would really like to get off the next nine pounds for my goal. I am not "stressing" about anymore though. This is a journey for me and I have a long ways to go yet (as long as I keep breathing). I don't want to burn out.

i'm counting cals and keep up with everything i eat in a food journal. i eat whole foods as much as possible and work out most every day. ok, i say that after a 3 day break but i was back at it yesterday and today and that was the first "break" ive had in 2 weeks. i'm getting there!
i'm liberally counting calories because i think this is more doable as a lifestyle change for me, though it is causing the weight loss to be really really slow.
and i am trying to hit the treadmill 3-4 times a week. so far only 2-3, but i aspire to 4 times.
I'm the same, I'm counting calories, keeping a food journal and recording absolutely everything I eat, and trying to exercise at least a little every day. I really want to buckle down for these next ten pounds - mainly so I can see if I'm satisfied at 150 or if I want to keep going.
Calorie counting, food journal (I have to do this...otherwise I'd be in big trouble!) Cardio 5-6 times per week 30-50min. sessions in the form of running, power walking, cardio kickbox (online) and other forms of aerobic dvds. Strength training (which I am sure is the reason I don't see the scale moving down to much) 3x per week.
I have a couple of friends that just did the Master Cleanse, but I just can't imagine doing that.
Besides calorie counting, keeping a food journal and working out like a maniac I have decided to quit the booze completely for the month of march! With the exception of Patty's day of course! I am Irish!
Aaahhhh, nothing, that's my problem. When I do, it's whole foods, lots of healthy stuff, moderate portion control, low sugar and infrequent dessert, exercise.
Counting calories and exercising. I have one 'cheat' day a week, but keep my average at ~1200. I do ~50min of intense exercise daily, alternating between cardio and strength exercises. It's going slowly.. but surely!
More importantly I'm eating as many whole foods as possible, and sticking to a meal plan of 2 fruits, 3 veggies, 5 grains, 2 fats, 2 proteins, 2 milks, and 1 dessert.
Much easier to do, and I manage to stay in my calorie goal by making good food choices.
I'm following the meals from the Scarsdale diet, but using FitDay to count my calories and adding some extra stuff in because the calories as the diet is written were too low.
Still following a fairly low carb lifestyle with the addition of more fruits and occasional ice cream cones from McDonalds (I love those!). I am still losing at a very slow pace and think I am about done, I really don't want to be considered skinny and my 32G bra seems to have some extra real estate all of a sudden...........................
What are you doing to lose these last few pounds?
