JoAnna,

Thanks for the encouragement. I am down 5 lbs this last week (or a little more). Same 5 lbs I lost last year, but, I have a bit to go. I am working with a nutritionist, but, basically it's the calories and volume eating - lots of lettuce, veggies, chicken, fish (6 - 8 oz protein a day) and very small amounts of breads, cereals and carbs. I love my nightly sweets and I am eating small amounts of ice cream or frozen yogurt, or I found packs of oreo cookies - two to a pack - 100 calories. Water is easy. The walking, that's not hard, it's just the time part.

Hoping for a whole new wardrobe by end of summer.
