Welcome on board, Bob!!!
Looking forward to seeing how you get it done.
Tough break on being stuck in Paradise with awesome food you can't eat, Pierogi King.

I started losing weight when Lisa and I went on our honeymoon in Punta Cana. The food was ever-present and awesome. The restaurants were all amazing, but with multiple course fancy food the portions were small.
That really helped me. It really drove home the fact that food is around all the time and I don't have to eat like it's my last meal every time I sit down.
I lost weight on my vacation, changed my "how much I eat" habits, and haven't changed back. I swear, everything I do is bass-ackwards.
