I'm not sure if this qualifies as a thread worthy, and if it does not I am sorry in advance. Nonetheless I'm interested in getting some advice to start losing some of those pounds that just don't seem to want to go away. I'm 206 ish, and I have been down to 190 ish before, and I'm hoping to take away that last 15 pounds or so. Difficult to say the least. I eat early, and usually is black coffee, grapefruit, and a slice of toast. Lunch is mostly fruit, veggies, little dairy, meat, and dinner is always usually chicken breasts, skinless, boneless grilled, with grilled veggies, or a steak instead of chicken. I drink nothing but water, and of course black coffee in the morning. I also don't eat past 7 p.m. I usually workout daily as well.

Is there something I'm not doing, or something I am doing that is making this last 15 impossible? It isn't budging for some reason. I am not working out with heavy weights currently as I fear this might add to my weight instead of help losing it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

-increase your reps in all your workouts
-wear heavy clothes so you sweat more
-ejaculate

and then step onto the scale

yes, if this is a daily routine for you, you're only maintaining your weight. You have to go a bit further to lose those pounds. Run an extra 5-10 minutes, lift an extra rep, if you use a car to do something miniscule, walk. Those kind of small changes will help you lose those last 15 pounds.

Without knowing anything about your body type or age, the only thing I can suggest is changing up your workout routine. It might be that your body has gotten used to your regular exercise.
Also, unless you had a high body fat percentage to begin with, losing 15 lbs is not going to be easy. Your body has a level that it likes to stay at, although that can change over time.

Just drink lots of water, have a hearty breakfast, don't eat after 7 pm and walk a lot everyday...

Of course bump up your cardio. I'm assuming your already lifting and doing your road work? A calorie deficit always helps naturally. I know counting calories sucks, but it actually really helps. Switch up your cardio completely and see what works better -

Cut out all the salt. and sweat like crazy

You need to add more intensity and time to your wkts. If you work out 3 times a week, make it 5-6. If 6, make it 7. If running 45 minutes currently, try cycling for 2 hours, or running sprints during your workout. Or drink extra light olive oil an hour before or after meals, and you will want to eat less naturally and you will lose weight. It is simply willpower. You are not stuck.

A few quewstions of interest;
how tall are you?
are you wanting to lose weight, fat, or water?
Why be smaller?
what kind of training schedule are you on?

basic suggestions. get rid of the toast in exchange fore a few egg whites at breakfast.
eliminate any veggies from dinner that are starchy.
add two snacks to your "three square a day" that are high in protein and healthy fats.
total calories might go up a smidge but it's proven that the ****bolism slows on 3 meals a day vs. 6-8.
