The hardest part about losing weight is getting those few pesky pounds off. In the beginning the weight flies off. As time goes on the weight seems to slow. The last pounds seem to be the hardest. Everything you try just doesn't do it, the weight seems to stay. Let's talk about how to get around this.

Exercising

• Wednesday: Aerobic exercise: run, walk, bike or do some other exercise that gets your heart pumping.

• Thursday: Weight lifting again, work on your legs, back and biceps. Get some weights or resistance bands. The bands are great because you can use them anywhere.
