What we are saying is that your body, not us, will tell you how long it takes.
The "burning X calories" guides are a just a suggestion, and a wildly inaccurate one, at that.
Stay on your plan, assume that slip ups are not permitted, because you're eating poison (a really good way to prevent slip ups!) and also assume that this is your way of eating for the rest of your life.
You want to be both healthy and slim, right? You will be neither, once you get to goal, if you go back to your other WOE.
I'm impressed with your commitment to exercise. Ironically, it may slow you down a bit, because building muscle happens by inflaming the muscles, and that causes water retention.
OTOH, wouldn't you rather have an extra two weeks to get to your goal, and look ripped, long before you get there?
