Last 10 pounds

[jennjarrid 14]

This question is for those who got to goal weight. Did the last 10 pounds make a big difference appearance wise? I'm 5'0 and I'm hoping that it makes a big difference for me.

No. But everything dropped. I thought, "Oh how lucky I am! I got away with little skin sagging." Nope.

Yes absolutely. When I got to goal last time the last 10lbs were the most dramatic change in my face and overall sleekness. I also want to add if you are 10lbs from goal you probably aren't appreciating your own progress yet. It takes a while for the head to catch up to the outside.

Definitely, the last 10 pounds of weight loss -- from 150 pounds (which was my original weight goal) to 140 pounds (which is where I've wound up) -- made a big difference for me in:

* How much slimmer I look

* How much better my knees feel

* How much easier it is for me to walk longer distances and to walk much faster

* Smaller sizes -- went from a solid size 10 to size 8 and a few size 6s

* Better shoe fits -- I didn't really lose shoe sizes through my weight loss, but my better shoes (which I never wore at my highest weights) have become much more comfortable -- and the last 10 pounds made my most expensive shoes finally comfortable

* Waist size finally dipped stably below 30 inches (I never thought that would happen!)

FYI ... the last 10 pounds took 4-5 months to lose. No biggie. In fact, my 140 pound weight now feels more stable to me than if I'd lost these last 10 pounds faster.
