Now that I have about 10 pounds to go, I changed my goals to a half pound per week. Is this recommended? That way it will come off slower, and therefore it will be harder to potentially put back on.

    Yep, lots of people do it this way. It will come off slower but you'll also be closer to your maintenance intake so when you move to maintenance you'll be ready for it.

    Congrats on getting so close to your goal. keep it up!

    I concur. That is what I am doing.
    It's not as fun as seeing those big drops on the scale though... ;)

    This is exactly what I would recommend. But start preparing yourself...

    The last 10 pounds is a full out battle, and your goals will factor into how much of one. GOOD LUCK!

    And btw, awesome job reaching this point! So many never do!!! :)

    I didn'y change my goal til after I reached it..then SLOWLY added calories every 2 weeks. It took months to lose those last 10 lbs.
