8 lbs from goal, any advice?
What other things should I make sure to do to get these last 8 lbs off! And, once I reach my goal how do I stop losing? I know people say add carbs but I am still so new out from surgery, only 7 months, that it seems no matter how I eat I lose eventually. Well, I don't eat bad often, but I don't want to eat bad. I don't want to get back into having carbs at every meal. So how do I stop when the time comes? Other then carbs?

But to get the last eight pounds off, just keep doing what you've done to get where you are now. You know how to do it.

I have not excercised, I have not struggled really. Sometimes I have bad days. I have eatten sugar. I eat out at least once a week. I just wonder if this is really me doing the work or the surgery doing the work. Does that make sense?
I don't feel like other then eating less carbs and eating really small protions I have done much to promote this weight loss.

Also, psychologically, I find it more challenging now. It's easy for me to tell myself oh, I can eat one cookie, that won't hurt anything. And it won't - unless I eat one an hour later, and eat one tomorrow for breakfast, and eat one tomorrow for lunch.... you get the picture. For some reason I wasn't having those kinds of thoughts so much earlier out, but now I do.

I think most people regain a small amount but not a lot. I hear people refer to "bounce back weight" and that's common, though not everyone has it. And some gain a lot back but it seems like not too many.

The last 10-20 lbs come off much slower than when you have more to lose. Don't stress yourself out trying to get the 8 lbs off before the end of the year, continue to eat healthy you should reach beyond your goal soon enough.
