I tried that a while back and just couldn't figure out how to put in the ammounts in each ingredient for when I make things from scratch. like my parmesean chicken. I have no idea how to figure out how many cals I'm eating since I don't know what a serving size is. I know how much I eat, but I can't figure out how much that is by what info they have. it's just confusing.

I lost 112 (240 to 128) and medications krept me back up to 155. I've lost 10 of that, but need to lose about 15, so I'll join.

Welcome to *hell. Nice to meet you!

*Hell: last 10-15 pounds

LOL. Not hell, just slow. And would you rather be the same weight four months from now, or 10 pounds lighter four months from now? No point in wishing the last pounds would all come off in a month or two, because for most people, they won't.

Oh I LOVE this definition. It's definately where I am right now. I can feel the flames licking my arse.

I'm in! I still have 10-15 pounds that seem to be holding onto dear life. My excuse is seperation anxiety lol. It's great to be soo close to a goal, especially if it took a ton of hard work to get here. I's be happy with just losing a solid 8 pounds, but 15 would be terrific.

I'm stuck between 134-137 right now, but I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to get in the 120's...so that's where I'm headed!

Has anyone checked out Jillian Michaels' book "Making the Cut?"

I checked it out from the library, but I was wondering if anyone has actually applied the principles outlined in the book and seen great results.

Making the Cut: The 30-Day Diet and ... - Google Book Search

I'm not looking for magical, overnight, no effort tricks - but I just started a new job and have been so busy (excuses, excuses!), so I haven't actually been able to look at the book and start applying it to my own life/workout routine.

haha nicely called

yeah I am on my last 12-15 lbs and I have been going up and down but overall I am loosing just has been really sloooooow.
might have to do some weight lifting to speed up the process lol, just can't wait to get into a normal bmi stage.

Hey! I was wondering if anyone was interested in doing a pen-pal type of thing. I want to lose 10 pounds and I am about to spend 5 months in argentina, the land of steak, pasta, and good wine. Basically, I know that an e-mail penpal would be a great way for me to stay focused, as we can share moments of success and reach for support when we're feeling weak. I just know I'd stick with checking and responding to e-mails while abroad as opposed to a forum.
I can also share great things about a life in Argentina! I'd love some help reaching my goal!

Yer I have about 12 lbs left to lose I think!

So stubborn these last pounds!

So I am 157 and 5 10''. 10-15 pounds is where my goal lies. I came closer to it recently, but lost motivation and fell back to the 157. I am determined to get these last pounds off, even with my new environment looming up ahead! If anyone would like to be e-mail buddies, I'd love the connection and more one-on-one motivation.
Good luck to all!!

Ha I studies abroad in Rome for a semester...nothing but pizza, pasta, gelato and wine. I managed to lose a good five pounds because I walked EVERYWHERE all the time. Keep up the exercise and I'm sure you'll do great! That is going to be so awesome.

Ill join the club. It took me about 2 yrs to lose 60 - 7- lbs...My metabalism was soaring...after a couple months of reaching my weightloss goal of 115 I just got plan lazy.......Gotta me moving so I can lost those last 10 - 15 lbs. (Being short my range is like 96 -119lbs)

I'm in! New to this forum. I'm not looking to lose a specific amount of weight, but, rather, looking to be back down to the size I've been all my life. My destination: size 2! I was still a size 2 when I got remarried three years ago at the age of 42. But things have changed since then. I've dropped three sizes since June, two more to go! I don't care what I weigh if I look and feel good. I definitely had more energy before the weight came. I started walking a couple of months ago. Was up to four miles a day but started having a problem with consistency. Maybe this forum with help with motivation.

Finally!! Ive been reading through all these different threads trying to find people who are only trying to lose 10-20 pounds! I really can't relate with the huge weight loss goals, and its such a slower process when trying to lose a smaller amount of weight. Im about 5'4 and 138 -140 pounds. I would like to be 120-125. I was about 130 a year ago, and going away to college I definitely gained the freshman 15 (ish)! I need to lose this weight before summer!
