[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I think a lot of "plateaus" are really just from becoming more lax over time. You get comfortable and feel good at your new weight and don't track calories or portions closely. If you keep tracking closely and keep a calorie deficit then you shouldn't hit a plateau or point where you stop losing completely.

Yes, weight loss tends to slow down as you have less weight to lose and initially you are losing a good about of bloat/water weight. Also like pp said, as you lose weight your calorie needs will also decrease. If you always eat based on your goal weight then you won't have to adjust this number to keep losing, but the rate will slow down because the calorie deficit won't be as large.

+1.  My weight loss has been consistent when I was consistently on my diet and exercise routine.  I have "fake" plateaus so to speak, during my period, but afterwards, it's back to normal, and I still lose the weight that I'm supposed to lose.  When I was at a healthy weight and about 20lbs over the lowest BMI ( for healthy weight), I plateaued because I became lax and at that point it seems like I've lost all the extra pounds that I needed to lose.  Anything more would have made me look sick.[/quote]
