HI all and welcome back

hey

Hi Still..... I agree with Lee in that not many truly take advantage of the 'honeymoon" phase and ride it out to reach goal.  I can share my experience and journey, which I think has been quite successful.  I bought into the whole concept as prescribed by my doc and Nut with eating, exercising,getting in my protein and vits.  I made my goal at 9 months, and am still holding 3.5 years out.  I'd say my honeymoon phase extended past two years.  I continued to drop the weight well into two years and beyond.  I've bounced back about 10 lbs this last year, but am still the same size.  My exercise routine has slowed due to some other health issues, but I still keep my eating in tact with small portions, drink my protein daily and get my vits in.  My struggle is still with getting in enough water, but as long as I keep the basics at the center and core, my tool works with me and keeps me on pointe.

That's my journey.........I hope it gives you some since of what your tool can do, if you do your part!

I believe the honeymoon stage ends sooner now than it did in the old days because people are willing to push the envelope and start eating bad really early out now a days and not allowing their bodies to make it to their goals.    But you are right everyone is different, I don't even remember when my honeymoon phase ended, shoot I don't even really know if I had one.
