Just noticed your fantastic weight loss so far :) Keep it up :) As for the commute, all I can say is that I believe you'll love it after the first few times, maybe even after the first :) Don't just see it as an aid to weight loss but also a boost to confidence, getting fresh air, seeing the beauty in the neighborhood and getting to work with a good sense of achievement and satisfaction :) Some of your work colleagues (if you have any) will be well impressed too :) All the best, Rubie-Sue :) Rich
