How to lose the last 5 pounds?
Hi! Thanks for the responses guys!

I don't know how I could eat any less though. It gets a little dangerous to me. If I eat at 900 calories a day, my weight will shift, but I'm not happy with the result. (My lowest was a 117 from, in my opinion, undereating). Shifting back to 1200 calories a day, and my weight normalizes. Also I never exceed my RDI, I always replace meals. If I know I have to eat out for dinner, I won't eat earlier or I'll eat lesser.

But what bothers me is that I think the last 5 pounds are a bunch of stubborn fat (arms and belly), which can only be cured by exercise. :/ but belly fat has been a major problem for me, as I have been doing fullbody workouts and targeting major muscle groups. My legs are totally on the right track of getting toned but not so much my arms...

My other observation is that I havent really been sleeping well all this time haha. So i think that could contribute.

I was wondering do both of you know someone who managed to lose the last 5 pounds? Or ar that point is becomes a change of body composition? (Starts losing the fat but gain muscle) type of thing.

How to lose the last 5 pounds?
I've been using the fatsecret app for a while, 5 months and counting. From January to May 2014, I successfully dropped 20 pounds, from 140 to 120. I ate 1200-1400 calories a day, exercised 7/week. (At first it was 45 mins MWF, 15 mins TThSaSu, now I exercise 15 mins M-Sa and break on Sunday because I have a busy work schedule.)

So anyways, ever since May, I've been stuck at 120-122 lbs. Now I dont think that's bad, i think my body looks good. But there are days that I fast (if I get ill or down under the weather) that my weight can drop down to 118. I know for a fact that all I'm losing is water weight. When I drop down to 118, it's also days I havent had carbs.

The thing is. i reallly like the way I look at 118, it's really a stark difference than 122. But I have not been able to lose any more real weight since May. I've been eating the same (1200-1400 calories a day, but not as regimated as before), and now considering a weekly fast (works with my schedule).

I'm just wondering how I can lose the last 5 pounds, when I've been dieting and exercising all this time.
