At my pace

I just looked back at my “Happy Scale” history and have lost 20lbs in about 14 months. I still have 20 to go, but this is a life journey and I am proud of the progress.

Two years of dissertation stress wrecked havoc on me. Putting the pieces back again now that I am PhDone! Just thought I would share 😊

Congrats! What a big accomplishment! I remember my Ph.D. years and writing the dissertation. Being done felt wonderful! Enjoy the afterglow!

Kudos! And even more so for being done with your PhD. I'm halfway there and lemme tell ya, the havoc is real.
Congratulations Dr.

Slow and steady wins the race, has always been my motto. Although you have taken it to another level

but great progress!

Wow, congratulations. I am hoping for a similar gradual loss, as I think it is more maintanable and realistic. Good luck with your next 20.

Congrats on both! That is super exciting. May the next 20 be a big success.

Thanks all! I hope the next 20 goes a little more quickly, but also know I want it to be sustainable. Thank you for the encouragement!

Congratulations on 20 pounds! And on your PhD!
As I travel this road I want the weight to be gone yesterday- but in my heart I know that it will take as long as it takes. As you say it is a life journey and the changes need to be sustainable. You have done an awesome job!
