Wow, that worked out really well for you. I half-way thought about doing the 6 month diet through my PCP, but I was kind of afraid things would get messed up for insurance. It would have been alot more convenient though (and saved me $500)...I live near Mt Pleasant, and work in Greensburg, so no matter which I drive from, Magee is a bit of a drive for me. Unfortunately, I'm taking alot of my vacation time to make it to appointments, but the end result will be worth it.

BTW, your weight loss so far is great!
