Welcome - sounds like you have a great plan in place. Don't forget to get all your water in - however that might be inconvenient since you are on the road a lot, but try! lol
I'm in Chattanooga! Us Tennesseans can so do this.
GREAT idea starting w/ a picture to keep you focused, you'll be able to fit back in that dress in no time. Start thinking about your 2nd goal.
