Have you tried low-carb? That tends to shed the pounds. I've lost 12.5 so far. The hardest part, for me, is living without sugar, but it's manageable. Every now and then, when I've lost a good amount, I reward myself with something sweet and then I go back on again. Of course, it helps when your partner is in it with you.
Glad you're feeling better! I know it's been a rough few months for you.
My cats are indoor only. We bought a spray called Knockout from our vet and then Advantage from Petco. We have yet to use them, but I've seen good reviews and Advantage has helped before. I'm not sure HOW huge our flea problem is. Hubby and I have never been bitten and we haven't ever seen one. The cats occasionally scratch themselves and I found a tapeworm on Markus, those are the only indications we had. But we do have carpet, so I guess we'll have to spray everything and evacuate. It's not easy to evacuate with two cats and no car.*sigh*
