I think its a misconception that the nearer you get to target the slower your losses are, just before I hit my target I had a couple of really good losses 2 and 3.5 lb. Its more to do with people 'relaxing' the plan a bit I found when I had my 6 months 'plateau'
also although I agree with emmababes weight appearing to be on the low side, she made a point about not being happy with her losses and she seems just to have a had a whole bunch of people jumping on her, realistically we're all on here for support and although we may not agree with someones opinion thats what it is, an opinion and everyone is entitled to theirs.
last night a woman in my group 'was upset that she'd only lost 2lb' in her first week, turns out she wasn't doing half the plan, we would all love a pound a week off but sometimes you feel you've worked really hard and deserve more.
good luck emmababes
