TornadoSiren i do have a question for you. I notice you and I are around the same height. I'm 4'11. I always embellish and say 5ft. How difficult is it for you to lose weight now that you're pretty slim category but have not yet reached the goal you set forth? The weight is shedding now, but I wonder what happens when I get closer. At what point does it stop being a 10 lb a month weight loss and become more of a 2-5lb month? Or is that a myth also? Like it doesn't truly get harder to lose weight the smaller you get. I'm sorry if those questions are stupid. I'd just like to know. I'm aiming for 125lbs. I dont want to be super skinny, i think that's a good weight. idk i'll gage it when i get closer.
When I originally set my goal I had it set to 130. I honestly did not see myself aiming for 115. It seemed incredibly low. I changed it to 115 shortly before I hit my original 130 goal. I suppose if you figure the slight difference in our height, our goals are really close to the same BMI. I don't get out of overweight range till 119! But like you, I have no desire to be "thin". I prefer a little more rounded to my body. About your question though..My weight loss seriously started to slow down right around 140. Like you my first 50 pounds went at the rate of close to 10 pounds per month. Sadly, I dont see this anymore, durn it. I am now losing about a pound a week. I won't say it has gotten harder, because I still eat about the same as I did when I first started, and exercise about as much. Although the last month or so, I have had to cut back on the exercise a bit, simply because of time restraints I did not have when I first began, but I still get in 4 days a week. But with the lower calories my body needs now at 129lbs, I simply cannot create the deficit I could back in the beginning. So harder is not the right word, simply slower. I will say this though. I am good with the slower now. I am at a point now, where I feel healthy, and while still definitely chubby, I do not feel "fat" anymore, and even if it takes me another year to lose, or even if I did not lose another pound, I would be okay with that. The difference between what I was then, and what I am now, is more than enough to keep me contented while I slowly whittle away these last 15 pounds.
