Thanks Nessa - I think sometimes after being MO for almost a lifetime it's hard for me to get my head around where I am and how I got here. For me, it explains not noticing how big clothes are on me - or more often - I'll see that they're big but won't get just how big they are. There are times when I take something off my wife will tell me it has to go straight away to the good will pile because it swam on me.

Thanks Nicole - I figure if I keep doing what I am doing the numbers will, eventually, take care of themselves.
