Losing The Last Few Pounds
If you are one of those hard working committed to weight loss people and you have gone and done what most people find impossible which is losing weight, then give yourself a big pat on the back. Well done! You may also be one of those people that has lost "most" of your weight but finding yourself just needing to lose the last 10 pounds. Shedding those pounds can be more difficult then the 50, 80, or 100 before them.
This often happens because nature only intends us to be so thin and then your genetics and body frame play a large role in essentially stopping your body from losing any more. That could mean that you simply don't need to lose what you think are the last 10 pounds or you have to extra work to get them off. Here are some ways to get the stubborn pounds off and keep them off, because those pounds will be the most likely to come back.
Change your eating habits - Just tweaking your meal schedule can have a huge effect on the last 10 pounds. Instead of eating a medium sized breakfast, medium sized lunch, and medium sized dinner, try eating a large breakfast, medium lunch, and small dinner. It will give you the opportunity to put most of your calories in the early part of the day and give you even more time to burn them off.
Lower the calories - As your weight loss continues you become smaller and therefore need less calories then when you started on your journey. Many people however stay at exactly the same amount of calories that helped kick start the weight loss to begin with, not taking into consideration you are smaller. So, cut back on the calories to about 250 less then what you eat now. The only way you shouldn't do this is if you are at 1200 calories, as no one should go below that because it could cause health issues.
Increase the intensity but not the length of your workout - Make your workout make you burn more calories. If you are walking on a treadmill at a 4.0 mph level then up it to 4.5 or even 5.0 mph. You can also increase the incline to make it just that much harder. Add more intensity at every workout for maximum benefits.
Cut out the last of the calories - You may have given up sweets, chocolate, ice cream and everything bad for you, but have you cut out the 1 soda you drink per day? What about the extra roll at dinner that you add into your calories per day. There is always one more thing that you can eliminate from your diet to give you the boost you need to lose the final 10 pounds.
