Great idea! Some people really can think outside the box!

I am an activity coordinator - everything is a game!  lol - I just think it would be a great vlog for you too.

 Hi Derek, 
My understanding is that a pound a day is the "ideal" situation. I will be starting my Optifast diet next week and I've been asked by the surgeon to lose 30 lbs in 30 days before getting surgery in Cyprus. So the pound a day makes sense...

Cyprus Where???

 Limassol. Dr. Henri Atlas and Dr. Roland Denis from the Sacre Coeur now operate also in Cyprus. Don't hesitate to touch base with me if you have additional questions. Have you already had surgery? I decided to go with the private route because I'm simply determined and didn't want to wait for 2-3 years which is what I was told the wait was in the public system in Quebec.
