Another welcome, Sazzle.. My loss hasn't been as dramatic, but there are some factors working against me, such as age and hormones.. But it's been good overall--averaging about 3 pounds per month. It's really never a consistent loss each week though--some weeks the scale doesn't move, and others I might have a 3 pound drop. So--patience is very necessary (at least in my case)...
Wishing you all the best. Hope that you will enjoy CAD...
