Boy, can I relate,
Harmony. I need to do this sooo badly.
My weight has actually been fluctuating downward a couple pounds lately -- I have no idea why, because I seem to have discovered an addiction to the "new" Hostess Lemon Cupcakes.
But -- weight aside -- my SHAPE seems to be changing, and it is miserable. Like you said, I am not a blimp by any means, but my tummy is taking up too much room -- and -- this may be TMI? -- this may be the reason my pants seem to be too short in the "stride."
I have been tempted to start wearing mu-mus like my dmil always did. Sheesh.
But anyway -- BIG, BIG WTG to YOU!!! This is GREAT, to rid yourself of this much stuff you're not wearing! You go, girl!
