Thank you for your prompt reply! I understand this is a slow process and ultimately, a way of life. I guess I just got carried away by everyone's seemingly miraculous weight loss. I'm still baffled that I can lose weight by eating so much fat but I'm going to stick it out thru the induction period and make a decision then.

Again, thanks for your help!

BTW, I'm currently 22 and just looking to fit into my old clothes again.
