I have a lot more to lose, so won't be like you. However, the less you have to lose, it takes relatively longer. That's because you don't need as many
calories to sustain a smaller
body as those with a very big
body do. Restricting
calories to the same amount has a more drastic effect on a big
body than on a small one.
However - just remember that ALL OF US slow down as we get down to a smaller
body weight for the same reason. Many rapid losers get a bit impatient at the end when they, too, find the
weight loss starts getting to be less each week.
It WILL WORK - so just stick with it and do exactly what they say! Lots of people have lost smaller amounts and kept it off, and heaps of people have lost huge amounts and kept it off too. We all just have to work at the pace our bodies are going at.
Don't get too hung up on the scales - just get up every day determined to make good choices and stick to the rules, and your
body will look after itself.
