So I go to the bank weekly and there are three different tellers that I typically deal with at the drive-thru. I've known them all for many years and they all know Swati and me by name and face. Each of them are very friendly and will often ask one of us how the other is doing. A couple of weeks back I show up with a beard. The teller, who I've known for at least five years but haven't seen for a while, starts asking me a series of odd questions. I didn't think too much about it at the time but figured the glare from the sun as well as the beard were making it hard for her to see my face. When I went back clean shaven a couple of days ago she asked me if I lost a lot of weight. I said yes and then she told me that she was tempted to call the police during my previous visit because she thought I was someone else trying to commit fraud. I'm glad she didn't but will take the compliment.

I haven't had the opportunity to post much lately as we have been very busy with our business. I miss corresponding with many of you and hope you are all doing well. It's closing in on a month that I have been range bound, fluctuating between 205-210 lbs. I am very happy with the weight I've lost so far and now have proof that I will be able to keep the weight off. That being said, I am still working towards that goal of 193 lbs. I still have plenty of weight that I can lose around the waist but have been building muscle which is offsetting the fat loss. It's all good. I'm going to make a conscious effort to check-in on a more regular basis. I hope you are all seeing continued success. Have a great night! -Michael
