Thanks Cyndi, I would be a stand up comic, but I am too lazy, so I guess I will just settle for being a sit down comic! LOL Oh yeah, it is 35 lbs.

I guess though I can't get lazy while I am on this diet. I am now doing two a day workouts to try and accelerate my weight loss.

Kathy, I agree with Loon. Just think of all the clothes that you can buy in Italy. I am safe in saying this because my wife is in the other room. Last night I was reviewing shore excursions for Livorno and they have a designer outlet mall outside of Florence. Thank goodness that my wife is more interested in seeing David nude than in shopping while we are in Florence. I'm just worried about our 3 day pre-cruise in Rome. I sure hope we have enough money for cab fare to get to the ship!!!
