We have often heard it said that people that move to Hawaii usually lose 30 pounds of fat the first year and live an average of 10 years longer as a result. We moved to Hilo, Hawaii for the slower pace of life, the weather, and the plentiful fresh fish and produce. We were both obese (BMIs over 30) when we arrived. After living here almost 7 months, one of us has lost 22 pounds, and the other 15 pounds. So now we are both merely overweight!
We have another 5 months before we can say for sure that we will lose 30 pounds in our first year, but so far it looks promising that by next year we will have not only lost the 30 pounds, but be at our ideal weight. As we continue life in the slow lane, we are delighted to watch our most valuable asset, our health, improving.
