Default Re: Anyone only trying to lose 15-20 lbs?

I'm 5'4" and had 25 lbs to lose. What I found difficult is having patience! I lost 8lbs during induction, and another 4 the next month, but after that it was really slow going for the next 8 months. I found that moving on to OWL, upping exercise and not staying in induction what the key to getting that scale moving more.

In the end, it took me 10 months to lose 25lbs. But it was worth it.

I"m now struggling with a few post holiday pounds, but I know from my past experience to be patient, the closer i am to goal, the slower the pounds seem to come off.
