Well, I wouldn't say that I don't need them! What I will say is that I've lost to goal 3x now. The first time I was at my highest weight ever, so had much more to lose (70+ lbs). I also lost the weight much faster because I did not follow the carb ladder. I pretty much stayed near induction until I got to goal. I lost two cup sizes the first time. I was NOT happy (and neither was dh ). Guess I gained the boob weight back during both re-gains because I'm pretty much the same size as before now in cup size. The next 2x to goal I had much less to lose because I caught myself before I gained too, too much. I also payed more attention to following the carb ladder and adding foods back in, so it was a slower process to get to goal.
I think age, speed of weight loss and amount of weight loss are probably all factors. I haven't hit menopause yet (though may be close?), so not so sure whether that's a factor. It definitely wasn't my second time to goal.
