how to kickstart weightloss? last 5-10 lbs
I had my second baby in October. its been MUCH harder to lose the weight this time.
I've lost most of it, but I can't get rid of these last 5-10 lbs. I find that when I make a little progress, the few lbs creep back.
I'm not interested in doing anything drastic.
I'm just curious if anyone has any good exercise or diet tricks to help kickstart weightloss that has stalled. thanks!

Its all diet. You can exercise all you want but need to be super strict on what you put in your mouth.
Eat clean, and no booze!!!!

Re: how to kickstart weightloss? last 5-10 lbs
Cut out one thing you have every day, even if it's not necessarily terrible. I used to have a kind bar every day. When I want to drop a few, I gave it up. I also love peanut butter on my apples and bananas but give that up too if I put on a few pounds. Easy way to shave calories. Dandelion tea will flush out water weight without causing you to lose potassium and sometimes dropping a pound or two of water weight can be encouraging enough to keep you on track. Hmmm what else? Replace one meal with egg whites. Very low cal and high protein and doesn't have to bland if you add a ton of veggies.

Re: how to kickstart weightloss? last 5-10 lbs
I have put on about eight/ten pounds since chemo ended for me - it screws with hormones and I was unsuccessful in dropping it by using MFP and exercising.
Eight to ten pounds doesn't sound like a lot, but I'm not tall and I wanted to feel like myself again.
I finally - just last week - did what worked for me very well years ago: rejoined Weight Watchers. I'm already down 2.6 pounds. I feel a lot better, less bloated. Clothes are feeling less tight. I know the first loss is the biggest and a lot of it is probably water, but I don't care. I'm already feeling more like myself and their latest program isn't too different from the one I used to follow, so it's coming back naturally to me.

For a quick fix my husband and I do the military diet for 3 days. It kinda sucks but it works. Some of the stuff I don't eat bc I'm meatless but they have lots of substitutions now.

I love the 21 day fix program. It is a 21 day fitness and nutrition program and it is totally reasonable. not too drastic. I lost 7 lbs when I stuck to the program.

I second 21 day fix and cize. I have lost 20 pounds in two months with the following the nutrition portion of the 21 day fix. I just got clearance to start working out last week and did week one of Cize. It is sooo much fun that you don't feel like you are working out. You can try workouts free by signing up with beachbody on demand (streaming service). Its free for 30 days. I'm a beachbody coach if you want to FM me for more info.
