They are always the most difficult and stubborn! Just stick with the program, don't give up, keep drinking plenty of water and exercising.
You'll get there eventually, but it will seem to take forever!Steph - Age: 24 yrs - Height: 5'4" - Original Weight: 170 lbs - Current Weight: 155 lbs - Goal Weight: 120 lbs - STAC

Re: Need tips for last 5-10 pounds....
Actually, I have been advised to forget about them! Do you like how you feel? How you look? The way you're eating? The scale is just a number and will not change any of those things. In DANDR, the good Dr. says that one day, you'll just kind of find yourself in maintenance if you follow the plan correctly.Comment

Re: Need tips for last 5-10 pounds....
Many people here have posted that as they have lost weight with Atkins they are actually a smaller body size then they were at the same weight previously.
So dont be too concerned about poundage - when your body shape is how you like it you will have reached your goal - regardless on how much you weigh.
Perhaps see if you can get your body fat percentage checked out for a better idea of how close to goal you are already!Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

Re: Need tips for last 5-10 pounds....
I am on my last 5-10 too. I am just going through the rungs and will see what happends. My ratios (fat/carbs/protein) have changed alot since I have been adding different foods. I am hping this will shake my body enough to drop though last few. Meanwhile, I am also adding different workout routinesComment

Re: Need tips for last 5-10 pounds....
I'm no where near my 5-10 lb goal yet, but I can foresee problems losing the last bit. I LOVE the fat part of my ratios!
I know if I'd just lower it a little bit, the weight would drop more quickly - it just tastes so darn good!
