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.

It was pretty funny about the South Beach bar. It all happened so quickly and after I walked away, I'm thinking, maybe I just turned him on to the South Beach way of eating!!! Pays to be prepared, I guess!!!

I was thinking later, you should have snapped a photo of him eating the SBD bar, then sold it to one of those tabloid magazines, to promote SBD.

Well he certainly seemed like a really nice, regular guy. At least for the 4 or 5 minutes that I spoke to him!!! He's not bashful about taking snack bars, I know that..LOL!!!

Wow, thanks for the compliments. You all make me feel so good!!! And you are so totally right, Char. My main reason for trying to get fit and be healthy is for my DD. She's our only child and I want her to have her parents around for quite a long time!!!

I guess only time will tell how well Roger does. I wish him well. I do know this, he doesn't need to lose anymore weight. I think toning is all he needs now. And I hope he finds the right mixture of food and exercise to start his maintenance journey.

Funny, Joy!!!

I would have said something to him, except there were still people waiting there to see him. I guess he was taking a little break to eat his cereal bar!!! I don't blame him. I know that when that feeling of hunger hits me, I have to eat something or I'll start to feel sick.

I think he may have exceeded his weight goal. I'm not sure what he wanted to get down to, but I would think he certainly got there!!!
