This thread is VERY old, but it definitely encourages me. APL seems SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO far away. I think once I get to APL everything else will be butter. I am not yet at SL. I'm hoping to be SL by the end of september to early october, and I'd like to be FULL SL by December 31. I think 3 months from SL to FULL SL is doable.
Then I'm hoping to hit be APL May 2014. Not sure if that's doable or not. We'll see.
Here is my currently length- Pic taken 2 weeks ago on partially air dried hair. It's about an inch or so longer with straightened, but I'm still not shoulder length yet.
