    Well, it depends when you consider I started.
    I had my "Ahah" moment that I really had to loose weight on August 1st, but didn't start tracking until mid August, so I started on the slow side. Once I start tracking, it holds me accountable, I a drop pounds quickly.
    A week after I started tracking, I went on vacation for a week, in the country side, no cellphone reception, no internet and no tracking with good food and wine :-). So I gained a little there.

    You could say it took me 5 weeks where life happens, or 2 weeks of steady tracking.

    I want to enjoy the process, I'm really good most of the time, so I can be not so good some of the time.

    I just tackled my first 5 lbs, too! I am ready to knock out another 5. It has given me such relief to know I am on a good path, making good choices. I don't mind putting the work into it as long as I see results.

    Woohoo! Congrats! 5lbs at a time is the way to go! Before we know it, we'll have dropped a bunch.
