I've never seen that suggestion before, but my body seems to agree, ever since I made that 10% mark, the weight loss has been painfully slow.
That seems so true. When I look at mydailyplate weight chart, I'll have 3-4 weeks where I drop weight. Then I'll have 2-3 weeks where I hold steady again. As I get closer to my goal weight, that "plateau" gets a little longer and a little longer But that's weeks, not months.

My goal for this year was to get down to 160lbs. I'm hoping to reach that in August. After that, I want to maintain for 5-6 months. Then relook at my weight again in 2011 and possibly pursue further weight loss.

Losing weight, although a good thing, can be stressful on a body!
