Good observations, Ellemm, and congrats on the weight loss. 15 pounds can make a big difference.

For example, I was just reading Dr. Oz's newspaper column for the day, and he was writing about the Type 2 Diabetes epidemic, and what actions we need to take to keep from becoming one more statistic. He mentioned several actions to take -- but one was merely to lose 15 pounds.

I'm not sayin' you personally have to worry about diabetes, but I am saying that what you see as a small weight loss (compared to your friend's big loss) is still one good step toward keeping it from happening.
