Halfway There (Again)

I changed my weight loss goal from 30 pounds to 40, which would put me back at my college weight. And I finally, finally, finally hit the 20-pound mark today, which seemed to take forever. I hit 18 pounds and then I slowed to a crawl. I have increased my exercise a good bit, so I think my fat loss was having a hard time keeping up with my muscle gain, but it's nice to finally see the numbers on the scale moving again. It's easy to tell yourself, I'm getting smaller, my clothes are fitting better--but it's much easier to believe when the scale backs up your story.
