Hurray! Janice has gained 4 pounds. Now, I know that there probably isn't a woman in the United States who would rejoice over gaining 4 pounds. However, when you consider that Janice has lost 20 to 25 pounds or more since arriving in Chad and when you couple that with her inability to gain weight following her last round of sickness.... well, you get the point.
Every one of us has lost weight, except for Hudson. That's life here in Chad. I've lost 20 pounds total since we left Fergus Falls. I lost 10 in France and 10 here. I won't bother to tell you what I weigh. Even Alex lost weight while she was here (and she was in no ways over weight).
We hope that there is something left of us by the time we return to the States in 2011.
I can see it now.... milkshakes every day, chocolate cake, pizza, chips, soda.... oh, wait a minute, that's pretty much how us Fludes eat anyways! Drat. Maybe we'll have to start drinking protein shakes. Yum, yum.
Hope you all are having a great day.

Good for you Janice. One loses weight because you don't eat very much "rich" foods and the heat doesn't make you that hungry. Every time we returned from the States the Africans would ask "what do you have in your country that makes you gain weight?". We'd also lose our "tan" and they'd ask "what do you have in your country that makes you so white?" Keep up the eating Janice and take time to rest!!
