    It is so difficult to figure out how much of a deficit to have each day. Right now I'm aiming for 500. I've been very consistent the past 4-5 days, so I'm hoping to see a loss when I weigh in this weekend even if it is small. We'll see! I hate complaining about trying to lose 10 pounds, when other people are trying to lose so much more, but to me it is frustrating! :(

    I completely understand. I'm 3 lbs away from a "healthy" BMI, and every other indicator (Waist to hip ratio, body fat, blood pressure, cholesterol, etc) already say I'm completely healthy. I don't think its that you and I are complaining really, its just acknowledging that loosing those last pounds is much harder than the first! Are you wearing you Bodymedia again? Or are you calculating your deficit by BMR + activity - intake?
    Maybe you should get Making the Cut (its only $9.34 on Amazon). It really helped me drop the final few before my wedding :) (Or I can just loan you my copy!)

    I want my knee to get all better so I can do cardio again! :0(

    Yay! Glad you ordered Making the Cut. I think it will help you with the last few stubborn pounds!
    Yeah, be careful with your knee. I ended up having to have surgery because I didn't listen to my body and got an overuse injury from running too much :(
    If you have access to a pool you could do no-impact cardio.
