I have a thought on the whole.."the closer you are to your goal, the slower it will come off" thing. Well My goal is 165 which is only 22.5 lbs away! SO, once I hit 175 the theory is my loss will start to slow down...But if I change my goal to like 145...will I hit 165 sooner? hahahaha I always think about that! Just a lil something to ponder!

would be great if it worked that way...

i'd set my goal at 120 and i'd be at my goal in no time. teehee

You also have to take set points into the mix... I tend to get stuck at a weight i've been at for long periods of time. really aggrivating... but it's apart of the process -- at least for me it is.

Gained alot when I quit smoking
Preggo at 236.6/current 241.6--11 weeks

Which reminds me of the old joke...

"I'm trying to get down to my original weight. 7 pounds, 5 ounces."

<insert rimshot here>

I use to have that theory, too! And then I'd ask myself why I had to put my goal weight so dang low...I know people say that the closer you get to yoru goal weight, the slower you lose...I just can't believe it for myself for the very reason that I was only 18 lbs away from goal last week, and this week, I have already lost 9 lbs....putting me only 9 from goal weight...and I didn't go into extreme measures by starving myself and working out 25 hours a day. The only thing I did was do a week of induction after my experiment last week wtih lower fat, higher starch foods...so I am expecting this last 9 lbs to come off of me without having to strive go get them to go away...the best part, it has taken me 3 years to get this weight off of me...so I KNOW it's going to stay off!
