Start: 210 lb, Today: 145 lb, Goal: 135 lb - Ok, so I've got down from about 210lbs to 145ish in the last 6 months. I have hardly any rolls now, which is good and I'm feeling happy about my weight. I want to tone up a bit now and get down to about 130-135, but it's kinda difficult when you don't have as much weight to lose. Anyone got any ideas fer me to lose those final 10-15lbs?
All I can say is I eat about 1000cals a day, and I swim everyday. I have to walk to school fer 2miles, then back and; I do weights and I play rugby every weekend! I really don't see why I'm not losing much anymore, so If anyone can suggest anything or explain. Either reply to this thread or my e-mail address is twitch@icantfeelmylegs.com. Thanks...

When you do the same routine repeatedly, your body just gets used to it. So maybe if you tried doing a bit more excersize (which really, you dont sound like you need). But as you loose more weight, its harder to loose even more, so dont be discouraged, your weight will shed. But slowlier that before. And also, could you post some tips? I think we all could use some! thanks a bunch and goooood luck!

hi Ben. u probably gained muscle from lifting weights and exercising. since muscle weighs more than fat, u have difficult time losing weight. but don't worry cuz muscle is a great calorie burner!!
