Buffy - Personally, I think it is probably the cheese more than any of the other things. Remember also that weight loss is more a percentage thing than actual hard numbers. A woman with 100 pounds to lose loses 10 pounds. A woman with 15 pounds to lose loses 1.5 pounds. Who lost more? Actually, they both lost 10% of the weight they need to lose, so percentage wise 10 pounds and 1.5 pounds were equivalent losses.
