Hello Last10!
It is really tough for folks to lose those last few pounds. I know it is frustrating.
But perhaps you do not need to lose weight. You are 5'7" and 126 pounds now, which will give you a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 19.7. A BMI of 18.5 or less is considered underweight. So you are almost underweight. But by any calculation, you cannot lose ten pounds and be normal weight. 118 will put you at 18.5. There are people, of Asian descent for instance), who can be as low as you are now and not be underweight. But if you are of North American descent with a normal skeletel structure you are already very thin by medical definition. I couldn't, in good conscience, encourage you to pursue weight loss. Perhaps counseling, and looking at body image issues, would be more helpful.
Good luck!
