Tell me to keep at it!

I am on the dairy rung on OWL. I haven't added much, really just a low carb yogurt one day.

Otherwise, I am really still eating much like the first rung. Meats, Eggs, Salad Greens, Cheese, some other vegetables here and there (broccoli, spinach, cukes, a tad of tomato on salad).

I needed to lost 30 - 35 lbs in total. I started at 206 (I am 5' 9" tall and pretty dense- muscular). I went down to 198 or so during induction. The first couple weeks of OWL, I went down again to maybe 195. This week though, I am down barely even a pound, maybe 194, but still pretty close to 195.

I have 20 lbs to go. I exercies 4-5 times a week, for 40-50 minutes.

Is this pretty normal- keep going???

Yup it is just about the norm. Keep going is the key word. And really good job!!! How many carbs are you doing now?

Truthfully, I haven't been counting exactly, but I am probably still in the 25 gram range. I really want to be bathing suit ready by late June (beach vacation) so I am being conservative.

Only 25? I don't know much but it seems low for that stage or maybe you're underestimating a little. Anyways, many congrats for the effort you've made and you will be a in bathing suit in no time!!! KEEP IT UP!!!
