Yes, I noticed too just how the body continues changing even when weight loss slows down. In my one year of weight loss, there was six months of relatively rapid weight loss (45+lbs lost), followed by a six month period in which I mainly maintained (lost just five pounds). The body transformed a lot in that second period, perhaps even more than in the first. It’s almost as if its physical shape was finally catching up with the number on the scale. The skin was tightening, the body just seemed to continue shrinking even as the scale wasn’t moving much. This actually made me think there might be something to the view of not trying to lose, lose, lose continually all the way to the goal but giving the body a breather now and then.
