Last ten pounds seems so hard

I'm within my last ten pounds to target weight but I seem to be just fluctuating between a pound up or a pound down and not really making any progress further. I work a physically demanding job five days a week and I aim for about 1700 calories as I'm 5ft and weigh 149 pounds. Any tips?

Even though you are in a physically demanding job perhaps your body has got used to it and you need to step up your exercise more as in a power walk. Are you drinking plenty. Perhaps you could look at the type of food you are eating and give your body a change of the type of food as in healthy Salads I will be the same Im sure when I get nearer my target as it does get harder Hang in there Dont get disheartened and give up

Thanks it maybe worth stepping up the exercise and changing some if the food I eat.
