A couple of things, a couple of pictures and a couple of wows loooooong post!

Goodness, JoTeddie, I almost didn't recognize you! I took was the benefactor of "hand me downs" and I was so grateful!  The person who handed them down obviously spent money on her stuff, so I enjoyed nice quality clothing for free.  I have since handed them down to my large niece. Keep up the good work! Kix

Thank you Kix. I know what you mean about the clothes.

Wow JoTeddie, you are doing awesome! I can't imagine being displaced, living in a hotel and dealing with work, and then dealing with a diet change like this. You amaze me. You look great. You are just beaming, and I know how that feels. Keep on keeping on!!! -Julie

Thank you for all the support.
