Same experience for me. My body for years has wanted to settle in at about 180 which is way to heavy for someone 5'9". I got down to 175 fairly easily, but had a devil of a time getting into the 160's which I've recently done. My goal is 160.
I totally agree with Eva that having a strong reason to be thinner is a must have. My 'must have' is to be ready for the SCC in September. I'm an introvert and a bit self-conscious, anyway, so looking my best when en femme is a necessary confidence builder. I suppose there's some vanity involved, too, but mainly it's about feeling good about my presentation. Why is that so hard? I don't fault others for the way they look.
