The last 15 pounds....

Hi Folks:

I know others have probably been here so I thought I would go to the experts. Realistically I am truly happy with my current weight but am technically 15 pounds from goal and I feel those pounds are all (well mostly) in my stomach.

How can I get rid of this little belly weight? I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks,
Chanel

I'm kind of in the same boat, never really lost those last 10 lbs, but I think I know what to do just cant' quite do it... do as I say not as I do- ha ha.  Probably mixing up your routine could help, or really count what your eating, little things can sneak in there (carbs) and really add up.  I know I'm a creature of habit and tend ot eat the same breakfast & lunch which is not good.

Chanel,
I wish I could help I am going to be 2 years out and I had gotten to goal weight and now am 10-15lbs heavier. I think mine is also mostly in my stomach and all the loose skin. I am a size 4 so I really don't care what the BMI says I know I am healthy. Sometimes numbers play head games with you.

But I agree with switching up your foods and exercise regime that seems to work for me. Hang in there you are not alone.

15 lbs from goal.. you go girl!!!

I don't have advice for you other than good old fashioned crunches and lots and lots of water, but what do I know.  I am about 40 from goal and am struggling.. :)

You've lost quite a bit of weight - could it be excess skin? That's something you really can't lose without plastics. But you've done an awesome job and if your weight has stabillized maybe its where you're meant to be? Like some others I'd love to lose another 20-30 lbs and am trying to kick it into gear again, but I've been sitting at the same weight for almost 8 months so, so I'm not complaining!
