I don't have a weight goal. But my plan, when i started 8 weeks ago, was to stick with reduced calories for 60 days, then do another 60 days at quasi-maintenance (basically just 100 less than maintenance), and then go to maintenance after that. Well...i'm not QUITE at 60 days yet, but i'm pretty excited that i've made it 8 weeks on plan! That's not to say i've remained perfectly on plan...far from it...i binged several times, badly, but i got right back on plan. I have only lost a few pounds, but this time, more than ever before, i'm in it for the long haul...so i have plenty of time to lose weight (i expect to still lose, albeit very very slowly, when i'm in maintenance, because that calorie level is still lower than what i used to eat).
So...not quite at my first mini-goal of making it to 60 days yet, but i will report back in a few days!
