Has anyone ever come so close to your goal weight (self proclaimed weight or weight that bmi charts say) and you feel like you're so close to finishing but then you start doubting yourself? How are you overcoming of overcome this?!

    This is the first time I'm losing weight the healthy way and I have 29 lbs to go. I'm just taking it 5 lbs at a time. With each 5 lbs off I notice a difference which is great and very motivating.

    ^^^ This. The closer you get to goal, the slower the pounds come off. This is natural. It can also be frustrating. My longest plateau was 48 days, and then it took me about 4 months to lose the last 5 pounds. I kept telling myself, "I'm in much better shape than I was in when I started" and stayed consistent. That did the trick. I've now maintained for 30 days.
