Kristin, thank you for sharing that with us. It helps to know that others are working that hard. Your a great motivator. I think what you are doing is quite a healthy way to go about it. You, I'm sure are feeling much healthier!! I pretty much have the same schedule as you, but my scale has gone up, not down!! I wonder if it could be because I am gaining muscle? I think it's probably a little of both. :( :pinch:
