Amanda - thanks for your support and words of wisdom. I agree wholeheartedly about the moderation and exercise. AND about the one piece bathing suit. I have a picture of the last time I wore a bikini, many, many years ago. The memory of it will have to do!!! But, there are many good looking one piece bathing suits. I'll be more than happy with that. And, Kathy, I have my pareos ready to go. Question - just how DO you get to the water and take off the pareo without anyone seeing? LOL
