Experience difficulty with the last few pounds/kg

  • Hey everyone

    I was just curious to know, how many of you experienced difficulty losing the final kilos or pounds? I've experienced some difficulty (emotionally) but as of yet, not physically. What I mean is my weight loss hasn't stopped after I've dieted properly.

    I guess I'm worried that when it gets to the very end, like the last 5lbs for example, it's going to be significantly difficult...?
  • It definitely gets more difficult the closer you get to your ultimate goal. I stalled out for a bit, but have since altered my calorie intake & things are moving again. As you get closer, you need to be more vigilant about your eating & cut out about 100 calories. Your body doesn't need as much when you're close to your goal. Just 5lbs ago, I had to alter & add in calories in order to get the scale to budge, then stalled out. I had to cut out the 100 calories or so that I added in, & now the scale seems to be moving again.

    Good luck!!
  • I'm also struggling now, was losing half a kg a week for 3 months, now for the last two weeks nothing. Decided to relax for a bit and just exercise more, I only weigh myself once a week so don't know how my new plan is going yet. By the way, Howzit fellow Kaapie!
