He is down 120 lbs & still dropping, looks great, feels terrific and I say "bravo!" The second "Better out than in" was from my dear mother-in-law, who for many years lived surrounded by 6 men--her father, her husband and 4 sons. Need I say more?!! The third, well that's actually poking fun at just me!Ginny Brannanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298060016652737538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884360193624478106.post-73289325947192692352012-03-23T20:37:39.446-04:002012-03-23T20:37:39.446-04:00these are awesome, Ginny.
