The LAST 10 lbs?!?!

Just wondering if anyone has any tips/advice/words of wisdom for those LAST 10 lbs!?

I am 5'8 and 160lbs (down from 185 six years ago). 7 weeks ago I decided to get back on the bandwagon and go back to the gym (after nearly a year). I have been working out 3-4x weekly and toned up but have not seen a single pound shed from the scale!! What gives?!?! Anyone else ever experience this frustration?? 

I can't offer much advice, but I can assure you that I share the same frustration. The only difference is, I'm trying to lose about 5 pounds. It's driving me craaaaazyyy though! It seems like not matter what I do, I'm stuck at the same weight...

Me toooooooooo! 

Oh well, at least it's good to know there are others out there who share the same frustration!!!! That is comfort in itself. . . . .  

*sigh* Maybe ONE day it will just melt away?! lol.

If you are toning up, you are likely trading out fat for muscle, which is still a good thing.  You have not given any details, but it seems that you are already at a healthy weight for your height, so my advice is to pay more attention to how you look and feel and less attention to what the scale says.

Just my $0.02

I have been struggling with the last 8 for about one year now.  The next thing I am going to try is to keep my deficit smaller.  I am running about a 500-800 deficit most days because I exercise a lot.  No matter what my weekly deficit is, the weight stays on so I am going to try to up them for a while and then drop them drastically down again after a few weeks.  I don't know what else to try.  I have considered getting my thyroid tested but I really doubt that is it.  I don't have many of the other symptoms.  I think the last 10 is just impossible.  I am just so jealous of people that say " I hit my goal weight"  I would love to finally achieve that instead of being so close but oh so far.  Anyway you aren't alone.
