Week 33

So.

I'm still alive, still losing weight, still eating healthy. A little less
than 8 pounds from goal; 1.5 pounds per week will see me there. The last
few pounds are proving more stubborn to lose but I'll not give up.

This past weekend I allowed my photo to be taken while I was wearing a
swimsuit! It was a one-piece and for the first time in a very long time I
wasn't embarrassed. I even went out onto the front lawn to have the picture
made!

That's nice to hear! I get a bit nervous when people project their fat
loss into the future, though. Don't worry if it takes you a very long
time to lose the last few pounds: that thigh fat is VERY stubborn, plus
you're probably eating close to your maintenance level by now (which is
GOOD, because you've retrained yourself about how much you can eat.)

I took a picture about five months ago and haven't bothered to take a
new once since then: I've only lost about 5 pounds in all that time! I
can't honestly say that I ca the weight loss of a pound a month is
painless - it's just happening on its own as I practice maintenance. I
guess it helps that I'm below my original goal... I just had to keep
setting the goal lower as I lost LBM :-(.

Glad to hear things are going well. Those last few pounds are the most
stubborn. It may take a little longer to lose them but you'll make it.

Good stuff, Dewolla. Don't worry if the weight loss slows down a
little; that's to be expected. 1.5 pounds per week is still pretty
fast, for someone nearing goal. Just keep doing what you're doing
:-).
