What is it about those last 10lbs!!

I still haven't lost the last 10 from having my DD in May. UGH..i was so disiplined with losing the first 30lbs. I went weeks at a time without cheating..now i can't seem to get through one full week without falling off the wagon.
I guess this is just a vent, but feel free to give me any advice to get those last 10lbs off...

The other part is that its winter, so its so easy to cover up the weight in sweatshirts and leggings. I carry all my extra weight right in my belly area, so its easy to hide.

I think its the weather.. its all about comfort eating. I lost all the weight and then some.. and then I stopped breastfeeding and winter hit.. boom 5 lbs!!! I know 5lbs isnt much but I have a small frame, and 5lbs looks like a ton on me.. Chat Icon

I think, for me, the motivation is highest when I really can't stand how I look! Vanity is always my hugest motivator (good health and all that is a bonus! LOL). When it gets down to the last few lbs, I'd like to lose them, but I know I don't look horrible, so it's easy to be a bit more lax. Also, the last few lbs come off a lot more slowly than when you have more to lose (in my experience), so it can be frustrating to not see drastic results.

The only advice I have is maybe to try to mix things up a bit. I've found that switching up what I eat, adding new/different exercise, and making those types of changes can get me losing again. I think it both jump starts my body and keeps me from being totally bored with what I am eating/doing.
