Yeh for you guys! I haven't had the nerve to get on the scales, but I have no doubt my new doctor will be weighing me this Thursday when I meet her, so I'll have to face the facts at last!

OT: Kind of strange story about our doctor...background: we have a real shortage of GPs here in Canada; very few here in Toronto accept new patients. Our GP was just "struck off" (i.e., he lost his license to practice) for having an affair with a patient! Too bad, really, stupid of him, them's the rules! I will miss him greatly after 25 years, but he was due to retire soon in any case. Soo...we've signed up for a family clinic practice at one of the large teaching hospitals--we get a new brand spanking doctor for 2 years, doing their residency, with all of their professors to back them up. I think it will work out fine, but it will certainly be different.
