OOohh thank you ---- you are so sweet----and believe me--- DeAnna had to take a few pics---and then talk me into it!! Thank you for the advice too--I got the binder---- I got a pretty inexpensive one---and it's still very nice---I think it will do the job without adding to the discomfort....
And I just know that soon....you will see some more results on the scale!!
I forgot to mention--- I'll be away from the computers after monday----- no computer at home right now--so DeAnna will post for me......
take good care..........
