That certainly is something to consider Bubbles, but am only actually starting RtM 4 days earlier than initially planned. Although I still have about 20lb altogether that I want to lose, I have a big event to attend in June, and want to be able to enjoy the day - by that point I should be on week 9 of RtM. I have every intention of ensuring that I remain in a state of mind where I am burning more calories per day then I am consuming, so fingers crossed will continue to lose each week, even if it is a few ounzes each week, it is still in the right direction, and I will be more than happy with that - at the end of the day, they all add up!!
