Heather and Candice's Weight Loss Since Arriving in Cuenca, Ecuador

So Excited!!!! We heard from so many expats before we left Florida that they had lost lots of weight when they moved to Ecuador. We hoped they were all right and we would follow that pattern when we arrived down here. And they were so right and we have!!!!

Since arriving in Ecuador on April 2, 2015 Candice "Mama" and I have lost a total of 44.7lbs. Candice has lost 19lbs while I have lost 25.7lbs. We believe the reason is we no long have a car/truck so most everything we do involves lots of walking. Moving from sea level to 8,000 ft above sea level does use much more energy and burns more calories. Then there is all the fresh, hormone free, and GMO free fruits, veggies, and meats. Hopefully, this pattern of weight loss continues. We are both feeling great and our clothes are getting so much looser.

We have added Tracking Tickers toward the bottom of our blog (see below) so that we can stay on track.

Now, if anyone is wondering...Dan is also dropping pounds however, he doesn't want a ticker or such on the blog, yet. I'm hoping to change his mind soon :-)

Candice and Heather's Weight Loss, so far :-)

As of Today...Heather has lost 25.7lbs :-)

The Bowen Knot - Shamrock Rating System

One Shamrock: This indicates the worst service possible. If awarded, it means we would never EVER use the service again. If it was a food establishment the food was barely editable. This means a complete fail with little to no redeeming features. We will never go there ever again.

Two Shamrocks: This is a service that we might consider using again to give it a second chance. But, the experience that we had would normally cause us to award one shamrock if not for some key redeeming features. If it was a food establishment the food was okay, but still sub-par. We didn't like the food. Serious room for improvement exists.

Three Shamrocks: Normal middle of the road service. We might have had some bad or some good but they were offset somewhat. This is service we would use again but we will look for a better provider. If it was a food establishment the food was good. We like it and will return. There might be room for things to get better but it is still a decent meal.

Four Shamrocks: Great service. This is a definitive repeat for us. We like a lot about the service and recommend it. If it was a food establishment the food was excellent. We liked it a lot. We like the place enough to return frequently. There are very few detractors.

Five Shamrocks: Outstanding service. This is service that treats us above and beyond what we think we deserve. We consider this what we would want to find all the time and what we hope all service providers would want to obtain. If it was a food establishment the food was perfect. No issues whatsoever. We loved it and would eat there everyday.
