We got to meet Roger at the Health & Wellness Festival in B'ham this afternoon. Man, he's really skinny now!!! And a really nice guy too. We chatted for a few minutes and I asked him what he is doing now that he's home to help him stay in shape. He has recently bought his own equipment so that he can workout at home. He mentioned an elliptical machine and a bike right off hand. He's still losing weight, although he says that he really needs to just be in maintenance now. He says he knows he shouldn't, but he finds himself just skipping eating if his choices are not healthy. I think he finished the competition somewhere in the 190's and at 6'3", he's really thin.

I told him that I always carry around my stash of South Beach cereal bars and he asked to see one so he could look at the numbers. He apparently hadn't come prepared for standing there talking, signing and posing for 5 hours, so I left the South Beach bar with him. He slipped it in his shirt pocket. Later, when passed by on our way out, he was munching on the South Beach bar. Hope he liked it!!!

Here's the picture DH took of me and DD with Roger.

Yeah, it was pretty cool, Cathy. We also got to watch some healthy cooking demos by local chefs. I picked up some great ideas!!!

It's been a very long time since I left home without at least 1 SB cereal bar in my purse. I never leave home without them!!!

He's from Enterprise, Alabama. It's about 4 hours south of B'ham, closer to the Alabama/Florida line. We do some business down there, so we're familiar with the area.

Yeah, maybe he'll be a South Beach convert!!! It was pretty cool to walk back by and see him munching on that cereal bar. He gave me the name of some snack bars to look into, but honestly, the nutritional facts on the SB cereal bars are much better, IMO. He admitted that he's trying to stick to lean meats, lots of veggies, fruits and whole grains. I told him it sounded so much like what we have been doing.
