7 freaking poundsss...

So I'm 5'6 around 134 pounds.

I weigh a size 3/4 and small in shirts..

Most people tell me I look good and don't need to lose any, but I'm not happy with myself and that's what matters.

I want to get down to 127. These last 7 pounds seem like the hardest to get off and keep off.

One accomplishment I do have is that I went from weighing 142 to weighing 134 in the past year, that has made a tremendous different, but I would like some advice on the last 7 pounds!

i feel the same way about myself everyone tells me i look good but im un happy

you have done great so far dont give up now!

for the last 7 pounds push yourself even harder. work out 1 or 2 more days make yourself sweat more and you should see pounds come off hopefully just believe you can do it and he main thing to do is push yourself! 

I totally agree with both of you, I have never been heavy but I put on weight in high school and realized i wasnt happy at my heaviest maybe 135-140.  I am now 123 pounds and I owe it all to determination...I started running almost three years ago...It wasnt easy but it really helped the weight come off...Everyone tells me "you dont need to lose weight, do you want to be a lindsey lohan" but i am not happy even at 123 I want to weigh 115 I am 5'3'' and i know being shorter even a few extra pounds make you look "heavy" not fair but I feel like this website is really helping me and every time i go to reach for something I am like "oh no this is a C-" haha so my advice is keep working at it sometimes our bodys plateau and you have to switch your routine or increase and intensify your workout. Also you may see that number on the scale and be unhappy but alot of it could be you gaining muscle and that is alot healthier even if the number makes you unhappy....good luck to you and lets help eachother
