 [ Symptoms ] how do i lose the last 10 pounds i eat relatively health vegetarian and stay active am not overweight but not ideal i have been a vegetarian since i was 10 and love vegetables and naturally low fat foods i exercise 3 4 times a week and enjoy hiking and walking as well and have since childhood i have never been overweight but i have never been able to get to my ideal weight either i am 55 and 147lbs my goal is 135 the closest i have ever managed was 140 and i was practically starving myself i do have mild hypothyroidism but it is under control  any advice or notes on something i could change [ Disease ] we all have a genetic blueprint to how our big or small are body is supposed to be when we eat healthy eat mindfully meaning we do not eat past fullness often and are active weight tends to take care of itself if you are healthy good blood pressure cholesterol etc  and not overweight there is no reason to get to an ideal weight if you need to starve to get there then that tells me that is not the right weight for you we are not all meant to be small and there is nothing magical about the ideal weight numbers so my advice is that you focus on your healthy lifestyle and accepting your body as it is you could focus more on different exercises and ways to increase fitness such as feeling stronger but i see no reason why you need to lose weight i know our society says otherwise but spending all that energy on a weight that seems right for you may not be the best use of your time best of health to you
