Congrats on the two pound weight loss Debra.  When you get that swelling down in your leg the loss will be even bigger.  1500 steps is a very good start, you will be back to the 10,000 steps in no time.  My wife and I are both wearing fitbits and I out stepped her by 10,000 steps this week.  It's easier when you get a little competition going.  I stayed the same this week at 209.  Just need to slow down on the whipped cream and strawberries.  Nah, they are too good and I'm sure they will get to high to buy this winter!
