This question is for those who got to goal weight. Did the last 10 pounds make a big difference appearance wise? I'm 5'0 and I'm hoping that it makes a big difference for me.

No. But everything dropped. I thought, "Oh how lucky I am! I got away with little skin sagging." Nope.

Yes absolutely. When I got to goal last time the last 10lbs were the most dramatic change in my face and overall sleekness. I also want to add if you are 10lbs from goal you probably aren't appreciating your own progress yet. It takes a while for the head to catch up to the outside.

Definitely, the last 10 pounds of weight loss -- from 150 pounds (which was my original weight goal) to 140 pounds (which is where I've wound up) -- made a big difference for me in:

* How much slimmer I look

* How much better my knees feel

* How much easier it is for me to walk longer distances and to walk much faster

* Smaller sizes -- went from a solid size 10 to size 8 and a few size 6s

* Better shoe fits -- I didn't really lose shoe sizes through my weight loss, but my better shoes (which I never wore at my highest weights) have become much more comfortable -- and the last 10 pounds made my most expensive shoes finally comfortable

* Waist size finally dipped stably below 30 inches (I never thought that would happen!)

FYI ... the last 10 pounds took 4-5 months to lose. No biggie. In fact, my 140 pound weight now feels more stable to me than if I'd lost these last 10 pounds faster.

Thank you for your replies.
