Hi Shasta,

I have a slightly different take on this.

At 5'2, you are technically not at all overweight and I can't help feeling that the difficulty you are experiencing losing a few pounds could be that your body is already at the correct weight for you. Amazingly, sometimes our bodies just "know" things like this.

I know that this is not exactly what you want to hear, but I have seen it here quite a few times before.

How about increasing your carbs to a pre-maintenance level? You might just discover that you may still lose a few pounds at this level of carbs. (I'm talking about 50 -60g/day of carbs, with the extra coming from higher carb vegies such as peas)

Whatever you do, please don't try to lose much more weight.

All the best to you, my dear.
