maddy~One thing I wanted to mention about your treadmill activities (which are going great, I might add) is that you should watch to make sure you are staying in your target heart rate zone. If you are higher than your zone (in "cardio" mode), actually you are burning something other than fat. In "fat burn" mode, which usually has a much lower heart rate range, you are burning off more than likely what you want to focus upon.

I've found when I've done my treadmill time is that I actually have to walk at a slower pace than maybe I want to do in order to keep my heart in the right range. Gradually, over time, I realize that I'll be able to pick up the pace and still be in "the zone."

fzzy~Great news on the calories!
