I'm in the same boat. I've been struggling with my last 10 lbs. since Jan. And that's to reach my "high end" of my goal, which isn't really where I wanted to be. But, it's taken me almost 2 yrs to get this 70 lbs. off and I'm not ready to quit yet! I say just keep on trying and eventually, it will all come together. Or at least that's what I'm hoping

I am in the same frustrated stage that you are. My story is slightly different. I reached the bottom of my weight scale but bounced back up 15 pounds. I run and workout at least 6 days a week but it won't budge and that frustrates me. I lost all fo my weight before working out. Now that I workout, I don't seem to know how much to eat. I'd say to you maybe buying a goal outfit to

Okay...here we go. Are you ready for it? Did you ever think that maybe your body needs a tiny break? Losing weight is not hard, keeping the motivation to do so is. It's terribly hard. So, you've lost motivation. I'm giving it back to you (hopefully) right now.

So, you've taken a break. That's fine. Break's over. I'm challenging you to try something

I am so impressed by the 40 pound loss, that I am going to be of absolutely NO HELP to you whatsoever - I love, love, love that you have done it and kept it off ... that is such an amazing accomplishment!!! That being said, I think Lisa hit the nail on the head - as soon as you are really able to decipher WHY you are wanting to lose that last ten pounds, and unfortunately I don't think

I've totally been where you are Mel!! The key really is motivation. what about sitting down and really thinking about why you want your goal to be what you set it for and what the benefit will be. Would it make another size difference in clothing? Would it help you to get a cute top or something in a smaller size to work toward fitting in? Or what if you get a really cool reward when you

right now i'm 5 pounds away from my goal - and i keep doing stupid crap to ruin it.

you should, however, continue to be active. working out isn't just a weight loss tool, its a great way to get your heart healthy.

Sorry - I can't help because I am feeling the EXACT same way. Frustrated I'm not losing, but no motivation to do anything to lose weight. I've already had to readjust my goal for the challenge to make it realistic and now the new goal isn't realistic for the one week we have left! Hope you can get out of your rut soon!
