I just have 16lbs to lose till my goal am thinking about slowing down and dropping to maybe losing a lb a week or half a lb a week so i can tone up... do you think its too soon or should i give it a bit longer ....?

I don't think it's too soon to change your goals to 1 lb or 0.5 lb a week. 2 lbs per week is kind of unrealistic for people who do not have very much weight left to lose. I changed my goals to 0.5 lbs a few weeks ago and seem to be losing more consistently now and I have about 16 pounds or so left as well.0

i noticed it has slowed down a bit so i think with the goal i am on now i am not eating enough , 16lbs isnt much when you think about it if its the last of your weight , it would possibly take 2 months to lose that at maximum weight loss i would like to tone alot more x0

I'm not sure if this works or not, but I read an article (and now I forget where I saw it) about eating at your goal weight maintenance to lose the last remaining pounds. I'm curious to see if anyone else has tried this method. The idea I like about it is that you already know what you need to eat and portion sizes once you hit maintenance because you have been doing it for awhile.0
