OK here is what I have decided about this last 9 pounds. They are like bacteria. I have killed of 99.9% of them but that .1% that is left are tough as nails. They have been here the longest and they are stuck to my butt like glue! But I will get them, its just going to take extra effort, so Mr. 9 pounds here is your notice. I am coming for you. I am going to exercise you into oblivion. You don't have a chance against me. Sayonara, baby

I totally agree. The weight loss seems to totally taper off and then stop.It may be our bodies way of telling us that we have gone far enough or it may be a signal that we need to pick things up.

Much as I would love to lose a bit more I don't think that I am ready to do what it would take. I seem to have got comfortable! Maybe when summer comes I will feel a bit differently.

All credit to you for being determined. You go girl.

Oh, gosh, that is SO me too. I have spent about 2 years moaning about the 10 extra lb left on my butt and thighs yet have I dont anything about it? Nope, absolutely nothing. I honestly believe that when you're very heavy, any small change will result in large weight loss over time if you keep it up. There's no NEED to get scientifc about exercise and paranoid about carbs, eat less, move more, the weight will go IF you maintain the calorie deficient.

This is the pointy end though. I know I need hard core strength training and a high Protein low carb diet from hereon in. I'm exactly like one of those before pictures on the turbulence training stuff all over the internet - kind of soft, squidgy, but a good shape there under a bit of fat.

But I can only muster up the enthusiasm for it for about three days running. Truth is, I like eating what I feel like eating and I like my comfortable exercise routine, particularly running. I work out moderately these days because I'm very fit so what I do in my running and bootcamp doesnt feel hard. I need to get back to those days of vomit induciing seeing stars workouts.

YOur post inspired me this morning, I've eaten brilliantly all day and just did a circuit with a 20kg sandbag and sprints on the treadmill! We're going to Thailand in September and I have a very small red bikini!
