    Any truth in "Last ten pounds hardest to loose"?

    What do you think? I am ten pounds from my goal BUT would like to continue on to ten more after that. I enjoy this WOL for the most part, and will continue long after my goal.

    However, it seems like this is ALL I hear. "The last ten pounds take so LONG to loose". Any truth in that?

    TIA!

      The last 5-10 pounds are to be spent in Pre-Maintenance Phase, according to Dr. Atkins. And Pre-Maintenance is done slowly--over a period of months.

        YES!!!

        I'm in the same boat as Emma. I'm on my last 10-15 (my weight has been fluctuating) SINCE AUGUST.

        My goal is 160, but I was hoping to get down to 150. I'm somewhere in the low 170s right now. I'm not even on Pre-Maintenance yet!

            YES!!! been stuck here for ages....but i think the last 10 pounds is hard, really hard to lose no matter WHAT program you are on...at least with atkins, you are developing good healthy eating habits that will stay with you and support your good health for the rest of your life...and THAT is worth waiting for!
