Congradulations, stacky! That gives me a lot of hope. I'm currently on my 3rd day of detox and it's amazing to know someone here lost 9 pounds just on detox.

Did you ever cheat on the diet at all? I cheated once with a very small piece of bread (about half a slice) and ate fruit at the bottom fat free yogurt instead of plain.
I'm not a mother, but I have little nephews and I know kids will give you plenty of exercise without even realizing it... I don't know about yours, but most kids I know never run out of energy! It's quite puzzling and frustrating all at once.
