Wendy & Don - thanks!!! Don you are right, the best part of all is the pants. Much more important than the actual weight #. Wendy, I've become a true believer in exercise. It makes a world of difference. Since muscle weighs more that fat but takes up less space than fat, you find your clothes fitting better than the scales would reflect. Plus, as Liz said, it is so healthy for you. But I know you know all that. Good for you for keeping up with the exercise!!!

Don, you have to be prepared next time!!! Get those limes ready because you are going to keep celebrating until your cruise!!!!! (So soon!!!!) Hope that Diana gets well ASAP. That type of thing can stick around for what seems live forever and then one day you realize it's gone. Hope that day is very soon for her.

Liz - I do have a few pairs of jeans & other pants that are now too loose. What a shame :D I'm going to go around with baggie pants until after the cruise when I have time to concentrate on that. Right now its PIP time only!! Much to do. It will be fun to shop when I get home.
