Has anyone officially reached their goal weight? How long did it take to lose the last 20 pounds? Any tips for someone who does extended induction (more or less)? I have 18 pounds to go before I hit my goal.

    This probably is not a popular answer and I didn't come up with it - I read it somewhere - "It takes as long as it takes." I am working on the last 20 and my doctor said it would be realistic to take 3 to 6 months. I am eating at levels close to maintenance so the losses are very slow - watching carbs and calories. I don't feel I can eat any "lower" without feeling deprived and setting off a bad cycle of eating. After one year I am still concentrating on this way of eating for life - not just to goal!! (Average loss is 1 pound per week)

    I was hoping to reach the goal weight by April 24th.
