Topic : 20 lbs or less? Resolved to take it off?

I have been working on the last 20 lbs for a good many of years now and seeing little to no results. I feel I have been working very hard at losing the weight for a long while, and then when I see no reults I find I lose a little hope for a bit. Then I get disappointed in myself for losing faith so I jump back on my path to trying to lose the weight. I have talked to physicians and dieticians regarding this issue with again the same little to no results. Can anyone help me in my quest to lose that last little bit of weight, but not by starving myself or doing a fad diet? Are there any effective suggestions? I need some assistance with this for my health and my line of work.

I have to make up my mind and really stick to my guns.  You don't think a little of this or that hurts but it does add up.

Are you able to exercise because that is what I see this year that has allowed me to gain.  I can't walk like I used to but I do get in the water and walk or use a glider to walk.

I avoid all whites, it isn't easy to give up all the comfort foods but if you just do this you will loes weight.  Whites are sugar and turn to fat.  So far it has been the only thing I can do and not cheat and loes weight.  I wish you luck and don't give up, just take normal helpings and cut back if you eat a lot.  Your tummy shrinks and you need less. I eat chicken and fish and some meats now and then.

I gained also when I stopped smoking and now I am smoking but not as much.  It is a hard habit to stop and not eat more.

I am going to get rid of this if it is the last thing I do this year.  I have had it on for a year and I don't like it  I made up my mind I am going to do 20 min a day on my glider and hopefully that will bring it off and diet of course.

Good luck to you.

Hi!

I'm looking for somehelp on getting rid of the last five pounds!   I started out at 177 many years ago and have been gradually losing the rest.  My goal is 125.  I'm having lots of trouble getting the last five pounds off, and i'm wondering why I'll get down to 127.5 and find that the next week I'm back up to 129.5.  How can a person gain 2 pounds in a week?

I am careful about what I eat, and I do exercise every day.

I tell myself I should be HAPPY I'm within five pounds of my goal...instead of getting upset that it's taking such a long time.  It's not working.

I'm looking for advice and/or sympathy.

The good news is my loss is stable, none of that going up and down, a pound here and there.   

Now to get that last 20lbs out of my way!   

 I've made sooooo many changes and I'm beginning to think that I am overlooking something, that will help; kick start my losses into action again.

can be hard to get off, but when you get discouraged, think of how far you've come.  What I did this year was to keep last year's calendar under this years.  I record my weight at the end of each week, and when I start to feel like someone's nailed my scale to the same number, I look at how much I weighed last year and see how far I've come.
