Will weight loss get harder the smaller I get?

No, that's not true. Losing weight will remain the same in terms of difficulty, that's the first time I hear that it gets harder. What will happen is that you'll stop seeing changes so frequently.

If you're going from say, 150lbs start point, you'll see huge losses within the first month. It's an undeniably big change in figure to drop from 150-130lbs. Once you've lost the main chunk of excess fat, the changes will become more minimal. Not so much losing fat, but toning up. Replacing what you're continuing to lose in fat with muscle, if you're working out. So yes, you may plateau but it doesn't get any more difficult. If anything easier, because having more muscle vs fat is an automatic boost to the metabolism.

Yes it will. When your heavier you burn the most calories, so as you shrink you burn less. Throughout your weight loss you will probably experience a platue, where you exercise but no weight drops. At that point you will have to work a little bit harder to get out of it ;)

Don't focuss on weight loss, but on fat loss. Loosing weight by burning muscle is not the healthy way. And yes, when you go lower in fat, your body will counter react. But check your BMI regularly and have your muscle/fat ratio measured, so you can see what is happening to your body and you can direct it in a healthy way.

because you burn less calories the less you weigh.
