Hi Monica--Don't forget someone from the Nutrition-Dietician staff of your hospital. You also might consider a large hair salon/day spa business, and maybee a dentist/teeth whitening---to round out the whole package deal! Joan

Hi, How about photographers? I know that I have never let pictures be taken of me, but I am hoping I will feel differently after I lose weight, we need to have family portraits...I'm sure there are many who feel the same. Just a thought.. Heidi
