Thank you Scribbler & Beatin'PCOS, you're sweethearts!!!

I am very pleased with how things have gone (mind you, it's taken A LOT of dedication, determination and strength!!!) It's this last part of the weight loss journey that makes me a little nervous (Maybe because I'm feeling impatient) but I am taking it day by day and doing everything I'm suppose to do so things should go well....here's hoping!!!

Nestor, thank you for sending me instructions on how to post my pictures...if it wasn't for your help I wouldn't have been able to post them!
