Topic: RE: Down to the last bit of weight loss?
I'm here with you too. I have about 13 lbs. to go (if I go by today's weight). I've bounced up and down about a lb. the past month or so. I eat between 1100 and 1400 calories daily (at least this past week...I was eating no more than 1200). I am on the elliptical 35 minutes 3 to 4 times per week, and I do weights for my upper body 2 times a week (I aim for 3, but usually don't get that...I do always get 2). I may add just a simple 5 more minutes to the elliptical. Much more than that and I know I won't maintain it.

Hey Heidi... I am right there with you! I am at 185 and would like to lose down to 150-155. I think you and I started out at about the same weight and have lost very similarly to each other. I think I am averaging about 3 pounds a months (give or take). In fact, since January I have only lost about 25 pounds. I am not sure what to do to get the weight coming off a little faster, but I am thankful it is still coming off. I was thinking about doing a version of the 5 day pouch test. Not to "test" my pouch, but to get off those pesky carbs that manage to sneak in and I think I also really need to increase my water intake. No matter what we try, I think it would be good to have a partner to try it with, so let's make a plan and try it for a week or two. I think being accountable to someone might be helpful. What do you think? I am open to trying just about anything that's reasonable and healthy!! Nanette

Topic: Down to the last bit of weight loss?
Me too. I want to lose 28 more pounds. I think this is going to be my biggest challenge. I'm losing more slowly and feel the hunger back. Of course I've heard all the blah blah blah about its just a number. I don't care. I want to make goal cause I love the challenge. So...anyone got any motivation and tips how to get down to goal? I'll work them. Presently I eat between 1000-1400 cals a day. Swimming 3x/week 25- 30 minutes - (believe me this is hard - lap swimming 25 yard pool - after 25 minutes my sholders hurt so I stop) Elliptical or walking 1-2X 30 minutes Bike riding when possible. Shopping when possible I would like to start jogging - but I've been procrastinating.

Welcome Willa, It's kind of slowed down on the board lately. Hopefully because it's good weather outside and everyone is busy having summer fun. Glad your here. Heidi
