not bad, my friend.

I really believe exercise is the key so I am proud of you for using the elliptical--I think that is a great all-around machine.

I can guarantee (not an easy word to spell) that there were no secret m&m snacks.

Hey! I don't really know you, but I am impressed with your efforts to get your life back on track and to live again! Good for you! Exercise is super important and it does wonders for both your physical and mental health. However, I would recommend to include some weight training in your regime. Mostly core (abs and stuff) and leggs. You can do squats and lunges. This is because cardio burns fat, but it also burns muscle and you need muscle mass to burn more calories. If you want to make your weight training into a cardiovascular exercise, you should try circuit training, where you do a series of exercises over several times. For example. You can do a set of squats, lunges, and then some abs... and repeat 3 times. This way, you are also training your energy systems. Stick to high reps in order to stay lean. Pilates is really good too, if you have time.
Best of luck!
