That's what I get for reading quickly on my phone... :-( I guess at least California isn't getting fatter

My Dad is a personal trainer in CA - I texted him this and said "you did it!"

I withdraw my down vote with your gracious accountability and up vote for cali. At least there are a few.

There's no seasons....

There's a couple "monsoon months" where you'll get frequent 15 minute downpours.

But I lived there for a while and went to the beach literally everyday for a year. When it's always "beach season" people don't put on that 10-15lbs of winter weight every year. It's easier to just stay in shape than to get back into shape every year.

Some parts of Florida are similar, but Florida is thrown off by all the elderly Midwesterners that retire in Florida

Hawaii got fatter. I guess fewer people are going to the beach?
