Hey!! I'm trying to do the same thing so far I've only lost two pounds (I started a week ago) but it will feel really good to see the numbers go down!! Drink tons of water it will fill you up instead of eating!! Cut out pretty much all sweets and eat right. once you start on a good exersize plan you'll begin to lose more each week i did this last summer but gained it back :-( Good Luck!! Hope i helped you can email me at waweagle@msn.com
