Yay - after one of the craziest months ever (4 family birthdays, visit from the parents, anniversary, family vacation, work/fun trip to Vegas), I can finally proudly say I've hit the top end of my Halloween goal!! I slipped ever so slightly down into the 220s (hello, old friend - miss me?!)! My lofty goal was blowing through my 220s and dipping into the 210s, however my progress has been SLOW! But progress nonetheless!
20 pounds in exactly 10 weeks. The "healthy" 2 lbs/week average and SO much happier and more satisfied than any of my low cal attempts along the way.
I can proudly say it really feels like a lifestyle change now. I don't even think about it - I gravitate towards the things I can eat and avoid the others. It has kind of helped not having a specific end date in mind (like when I Atkins-awayed 50 lbs before my wedding (and put 70 back on). My mentality is always all or nothing and when I break, I break hard.
It's a marathon for me this time, not a sprint - and many miles to go before I sleep - but very, very happy at this stage.
Best of luck to everyone plugging away at their own personal goals!

mostly because I didn't really diet during that time . I guess what matters is that I didn't gain any weight
