Weigh-in week of March 17

[Bikingmomof3]

BMO - wow you've done well is 5 weeks! I'd be at my goal in 2 weeks if I could lose that fast.

I wish, but thank you for the kind words In all actuality took 6 months of being stuck in a plateau before the scale or meassurements budged. So it was not actually a fast loss, which is good. Slow is a good way to lose, I would have preferred a slighly faster method than a 6 month plateau. All told, it took 7 months, just nothing happened for the first 6 months. *sigh*

I am 5 pounds away from my goal. Those will take even longer since the last few are usually the most difficult to get off (or so I have heard). I imagine it will be some time before I get the last 5 pounds off and even longer to gain the lean muscle mass I want. But it is worth it. I am in this for life, so no rush on my part.

I am afraid to weigh in tomorrow morning after a week of eating in restaurants and drinking wine, and snacking, and no exercise other than a 5 km hike in the rainforest. I am sure I've gained, hopefully only 2 lbs at the most.

You were on your honeymoon, cut yourself some slack. You deserve it. Glad to see you back with us.
