How long does it take

Ok, I am at my last 15 lbs and I am inpatient. I want to be at goal yesterday. I know weight loss is slower when you have less to lose. I had been averaging about 2 lbs a week and now it is about 1 lb a week. I was just wondering how long it took people to lose the last 10 to 15 lbs? I was looking at my records for the last time I lost weight and it was a little over 2 months from 155 to 140 but that was 8 years ago and I was exercising then (3 days a week at Curves).

Well, it took me 5 months to get the last 15 pounds off. You will probably have better luck than me though.

It took me about 4 1/2 months to get the last 15 pounds off.

Just hang in there.

I was kind of thinking it could be 4 or 5 months if I am only losing a pound a week.

Great question. I am right there with ya. I want to lose 22 more lbs. May not ever reach that, but that is my goal. My weight loss has slowed greatly, but I am kicking up the exercise. I am joining a gym and gonna give it a good try.
