Reasons You're Not Losing Those Last 10 Pounds

Michelle Roots, resident fitness expert and trainer for Trainerize, says that "many individuals solely rely on reducing daily calorie count for weight loss." She explains, "this will work during the initial stages of weight-loss; however, as you get closer to the end goal it's important to track the percentage of proteins, carbs, and good fats."

You may need to make a few lifestyle changes, for instance, cutting down on your consumption of alcohol, drinking more water and going to bed earlier.

It's important not to get discouraged; weight loss requires determination and consistency. You have already made it this far; don't give up now. If you are determined and motivated to tackle your goals, you will lose those last 10 pounds in no time.
