I'm looking at about 2 years at a pound a week, and you know what? If it ends up taking me 4 I'll be pretty damned happy. You can't really know how long it is going to take but what you can know is that you continued to do the right things along the way. And that's what I need to focus on.

It's great that you stuck to the weights. Everything I am reading says it is really more important to get that in place than cardio. And fretting about the weight from week to week is futile--you're right. It's going to take a while to lose it, so time is not a good thing to feel pressured by. Another blogger, who hit her goal after SIX YEARS was reflecting on that fact once and said she was glad that she didn't set time limits. She got there anyway....with treats along the way...eating for REAL LIFE, and didn't feel complied to say, "Well, I feel really proud of myself, and I"m glad I lost all of this weight, but there WAS that week back in 2003 when I gained 2 pounds instead of posting a loss. So....the rest of the six years were kind of meaningless after that." One week is nothing, you are right. I think it's more important that you started a new healthy habit with those weights.
