What happens near goal

[vincereautmori 323]

I'm not sure this is the right forum for this question, but the old veterans forum got buried in obscurity under another subforum (Alex- can we do anything to bump it back up?) But my question is for people who have hit or are near goal, what did your weight loss do when you got close? I'm finding mine has stopped, and quite suddenly over the past couple of months, is that normal? I'm not that concerned, maybe this is where I'm supposed to be and for what my calorie intake is vs. the amount of exercise I have time for, this may be it. Just curious if anyone saw a plateau and then started losing again. I'm definitely keeping an eye on it.

I've been at and around goal since 10 months post op. I dipped down a bit about 6 months ago, but I'm thinking it was primarily because I wasn't able to eat much at all after my Tummy Tuck. It seems that once I got to a certain weight my body just kind of wants to stay there. Luckily for me it's about 10 pounds under what my initial goal was. I think that eventually your body does kind of settle down into a range that it feels most comfortable at. Or maybe at a certain point you have to perhaps mix things up a bit to continue to push through the plateau. Either way, I could probably lose another 10 pounds if I really stuck to my numbers religiously, but at this point, I'm happy maintaining right around 130. Hope that helps!
