Thank so much Niky and Nat.... I'll take your advice and just keep plugging along!! I know I just am expecting too much too soon. Dammit I just wanna be skinny already !!! But youre right, Nat....it's not a waste. I've enjoyed it, enjoyed the way my body feels stronger, my heart feels stronger....and now I'm even enjoying some tennis. This would have never happened 6 months ago. So something must be going right.

And hey...I got in 180-something grams of protein today!!

Thanks, girls....you're the greatest.
