Sunday weigh-in
Hi Kim,
The weight loss does indeed slow down. My 5th month I lost 4 lbs, 6th month about 8 lbs, and my seventh month about 2 lbs. 5 lbs/month is pretty good. It is normal to slow down and the closer you get to goal, the slower it becomes, because your body doesn't need as many calories to maintain your weight.

Even if you do continue this pattern, you are still losing month to month. And that is a good thing.

Have you considered that being active and changing fat to lean muscle may be the culprit?

It's a drop..and while in loss mode, any drop helps.
