Hey I spoke to soon!!!
 

First of all thank you so much for all of the replies on the other thread - there is so much great advice there!

And I wanted to say that I spoke to soon today - I went to my friend's house to walk and decided to weigh there (have used her scale from the beginning) and lo and behold I'm down 2 more lbs! That's 7 total!!! :D

I am going to review and keep watching the other thread and try to incorporate some of the suggestions mentioned.

Thanks again!

Yay You! I knew you could do it. I'm so very happy for you. :)
