[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 361810, member: 3907"] Congratulations Linda. Losing 92 lbs is a great achievement. With regard to the last 50 lbs, whether it's steroid weight or not, it is very common for weight loss to go along at a good clip and then slow dramatically when you get closer to your goal. My husband lost 225 lbs, and really struggled with the last 50 or so, after the first 175 just fell off him. Many others in his diet program had the same issue. As your body adjusts to your new size, your caloric intake requirement change radically. It takes far less fuel to operate a much smaller machine, if you will. So this is the point where you might need to make more siginficant changes. You may also find that your body will fight to retain those last pounds. JJJ's suggestions are good ones. If you are diligent about tracking everything (input and output), then you'll get a sense as to what works for you. I also recommend the G.I. Diet books. (LittleDudesMom mentions them on another thread.) The diet was developed for insulin resistance and diabetes, but it also works very well as a weight loss plan. I wish you all the best as you get closer to your goal. Trinity [/QUOTE]
