    Hi there .. yes 4,500 is well worth it for sure .. And If I had to borrow the whole thing I will .. I am sick of sitting on the bed looking at the fat clothes I have that dont fit me ... sick to death of it! And since Iam 53 I guess I just make it :tounge_smile: And walking past a mirror and seeing a shadow case me , and finding out its my arse !!! Annie
