Slow and steady wins the race

Ellyn Ritterskamp:

I had cause recently to check in on my goals - someone asked what my weight-loss goal had been for this year of blogging, and I said I have a long-term goal, but had not made a short-term target.

I started the year at 257, and my end goal is 190.

I am at 247 now, so it's been a pound a month. Slower than it could be, certainly, but I like the steadiness of it. They always say it took a long time to add the weight so it should take a while to come off, to not do it all at once and freak out your body.

Seems like 3-4 pounds a month would be OK, though. Will work on this.

Onward.
