So far in 9 days of the month, I have lost 3 lbs. Lots of fruit and veggies and a close watch on the fat intake (less than 25 grams a day). Walking the dogs helps too, we take them up into the mountains and let them run for about a mile round trip. The other day we went out and found a rather cool outcropping of lava stones. In this mass of rocks was a squirrels hideout, you could see where he was dragging in all his pine cone seeds.
