Is it Normal?

I haven't lost a pound in over a week. Is it normal for the weight to come off reaaaaaal slow when you get close to your goal?

Yes!!!  I started off losing 2-3 pounds a week in the beginning and now it's down to 1-1.5 a week as I get close to my goal.  Hang in there...it's still coming off and you've done great so far!

How about 5 lbs in almost 2 months. Yes, it slows way down close to goal. I am below goal now, but I am still losing a little, slowly, but that's Ok.

Damn... in two months? You win.

How much more do you have to lose? It took me 10 or 11 weeks to lose my last 15 pounds.

May 2012 - went from 185 to 178.5

June 2012 - went from 178.5 to 173.5 (then went up 3.5 pounds during 10 days of travel)

July 1- 18, 2012 - went from 177 to 170.

What I ended up doing is following Frisco's old school advice to knock the last pounds off in May/June/July (except during my vacation when I allowed myself more freedom. I also swell like a mother whenever I fly, so I knew I would come back heavier, so I didn't sweat it). I went to a strict 800-900 calories per day, upped the hell out of the protein (100 grams +), cut the carbs back to

Sorry. Most of my post was cut off. I tried to go back and add to it, but it's just not cooperating.

I've got about 10 pounds to go.

You can totally knock this out. May take about 2 months, but completely doable. Hopefully, you got the gist of my post, but go hard core. 100+ grams of protein, under 30 grams carbs, drink water and water and more water. And if you can, up the exercise.

Yes, The last few months I only lost 3 pounds a month.
