Worried about keeping the weight loss up...

[Clartylou]

When I joined WW in November 2011, I weighed exactly 20stones (280lbs) and was pointed at 43 points. I now weigh 16st2lbs (226lbs) and have 35 points. I am finding it relatively easy going and have been very surprised at how well I have done in the time frame. I do worry though that as I lose weight and my points reduce I will struggle to keep losing weight.

I don't really have a goal in mind, although I know that I would love to be wearing size 16 jeans by my 30th Birthday (this Sept) and I have just moved down into size 20's.

Does it get harder to lose weight the more you lose?

The losses do get smaller as u shrink I started off at over 18st & was losing about 10lbs + a month I am now seeing losses at about 4-5lbs a month (I'm now 10st13) I started off on 38 pp I'm now on 26 I don't find I'm hungry as the beauty of dropping 1pp as u shrink is (I believe) is your appetite & stomach shrink too, the smaller u get your body will adapt, there is no way I could eat the amount of food I used to eat. It does get harder mostly with staying motivated but as long as u keep chipping away at the lbs u will succeed, I am 7.5lbs away from goal & it seems like an eternity to get there but I know I will even with 0.5lbs a week it will only take me just over 14 wks which isn't that long in the grand scheme of things, considering I started in jan 11
