I’m so tired of doing the right stuff and not seeing results. That being said, I definitely won’t quit. But i’ve realized that the things that worked for me when i lost 20 pounds last year, are not working for me while i try to lose my last 15 pounds. Is it true that the last 15-20pounds are the hardest to lose? How to make it happen? Anyone else here on same patch in their journey?

Anybody who is successfully knocking fat off in their last 10-15 pounds? Got any tips?

For those who’ve been losing weight for a while...do you have any tips for continuing on your weight loss journey after the initial motivation and excitement starts to fade? I started about two months ago so I’m still in the honeymoon phase of what will likely be an 18 month, 80 pound journey. But I know my history and my patterns, and I know that at some point the motivation I feel right now is going to decrease, and that’s usually when I stop trying. I want this time to be different, so I’d love to hear what you all who have been losing for months or years do to keep going!

I AM SO FRUSTRATED this round! I could just cry. I've been working hard, I've been keeping AT LEAST 1,000 calorie deficit every day, some days I've had a 1500 calorie deficit(not from starving, but from extra activity) and that darn scale will. not. budge. Any hints for getting off the dreaded plateau? I've lost 80 lbs total, so I know how to do it the right way, but being stuck this close to my goal is driving me crazy!

So, I still made the weigh in and was under a pound! (It’s still pending approval). But I can’t help but be super disappointed in myself. I got myself down to a little over 149 to make the win for a kickstarter I was in that ended last week. I was so proud of myself. Then the past 6 days I went to a family reunion in Washington, where the family we stayed with literally told me “we avoid all things healthy”. Everything they gave us for food was full of fat, salt, sugar and carbs. Even though I worked out still every day, I didn’t have healthy options for food. We were in the middle of nowhere on a lake house and we were their guests so we ate what we were given. I figured maybe I’d gain a pound which was okay because my goal for this transformer was 153, which I was way under. I weighed in today at 152.4. What?!? I gained almost 3 pounds?! In 6 days?! Thank goodness I’m still under for the weigh in for round two... but I REALLY didn’t expect that big of a gain on my trip. I’m really hoping part of it is bloat from airline travel and excess salt. Hoping a few days back on track will drop my weight a little. I’m just disappointed that I back tracked some of my progress. But I sure am thankful I still (pending referees) won the round.

I hit my Goal #2 weight. 😊 However, I’m going on vacation for two weeks and I’m worried about hitting my next goal. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Wow only just scraped through this time with not an ounce to spare. I think next month is going to be even more difficult with a 2 week holiday in the Greek islands for my big birthday.
Good luck everyone!

I didn’t make this one but I wanted to say a huge congratulations to everyone who did!
