New Zealand is wonderful. But Tasmania is better than New Zealand. Wellington is very.... commercial. It's a lot like Seattle. Hobart is very friendly, where you walk into a shop on their biggest tourist event of the year (Sydney-Hobart yacht race) and they offer you a cup of tea, ask where you're from, and just want to chat. Then you buy stuff because they're so nice and never pushed it on you.

Yup. He was all arms and legs. Oddly enough, when we sat down I was "taller" than him. I was the headroom checker when we went car shopping.

He ate non stop. He'd eat a whole box of cereal for breakfast. Make a whole loaf of bread worth of sandwiches for lunch, but they were always gone by lunch time. He'd have to buy lunch. By 3 he was running out for a burger. Then he'd eat a family of 4 sized box of fish & chips for dinner. I was wrong... he weighed 135 then. No matter what he did, he couldn't gain weight. He had some testing done and they found that he burned 1300 calories in his sleep!
So, I went on this diet, essentially just following the Canada food guide (I've never eaten so much in my life!). To support me he followed it too. I lost 60 lbs in 13 weeks. He went from 135 to 150! There's definitely something to be said for those food guides.

Wow that is soo amazing!
With me, I usually skip breakfast, have a sandwich or two for lunch, and eat one serving for supper. Not much, but boy do I gain weight fast :oops:

Me too. I'm really bad though... I tend to forget to eat, just get busy doing stuff... and then get so hungry that I eat way too much. It's known as the Sumo wrestler diet. So not healthy.

I'm 5'10" and sadly weigh about 220.
