Hmmmmm..... I have to say that something sounds wrong with your diet. You should not be hungry all the time I would think. When I was loosing 2.5 lbs a week I was only hungry occasionally. Also the fact that you got sick is an indication that something isn't working 100%.
I love your description of the Y and LOL about the guy that flew backwards when the cable broke. I am sure he didn't think it was funny though.
Between you guys and all the Y stories I am going to have to find one to visit in my area.
