Anyone who has attempted to lose a significant amount of weight and/or body fat knows that the process is not linear. The first few pounds tend to come off easy, the next few require a little effort and attention to detail... and the last few can be very difficult to lose, depending on how lean you are trying to get. This phenomenon is known as the set point, and everyone has one -- a point at which further progress becomes exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, without chemical assistance. Understanding your set points is important to managing your expectations during weight loss as well as athletic performance.
