Congratulations on your 7 stone loss ! I live in the USA. I have traveled to Edinburgh many times and love the City. Used to stay up on Forrest Road near Greyfriars. I have to wait until February for my band to have it paid by Medicare ( age 65 requirement ). You are one of my heros and I hope to one day have a success story like yours. Keep up the good work.
