It took me 6 months to lose my first 110 pounds. Please take in mind I started at nearly 90 pounds heavier than you are now, AND I NEVER cheated during this time...NOT ONCE. If you take my weight at 245 to my present weight of 161, It has taken 10 months and one week and I still have 25ish to go if I were to get to your goal of 135. It is coming off VERY slowly now, and I'm only losing a few ounces a week despite being on plan pretty seriously...though I do have occasional treats now days, (about once a week, and not at all binge worthy...just a little treat). If I were to estimate how long it would take me to get to 135 at this point, (if I decided to go that low), I would say it would take around 5
more months.
When I started my healthy way of life I didn't set any time lines. My one and only goal was to get heathy. The fact that I was/am highly motivated and firmly committed is what kept the ball rolling, and I knew that I did not want the losing period to drag on forever. I knew I could lose the weight, I've done it before, but I have never even tried at maintaining. I have been very excited to get to the maintenance phase of keeping it off. This is uncharted territory for me and I am looking so forward to working on and perfecting the art of living thin...so exciting!
