Bill We wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your program in South Hill 9/16/09. I am a big fan of Celtic music and Don is a big fan of yours. Don says "I think your Dad sounds like my kind of man." Your commentary brought him to tears. Wonderful time, hope you visit us again. Don and Jeanette Holmes La Crosse, VA.

Mr. Leslie ....what a wonderful photographer you are. Your Ocrocoke pictures are so beautiful! I enjoy all of your work. You are really a true renaissance man.

Thanks for the Montreat mention. Yes, that's my song. It's on the Peaceful Journey album.

Hey Bill, Nice job on the "Weighty" Challenge! Just wanted to ask a question-comment "Montreat" was just on XM Radio Station 72 -SPA and had your name --is that your song? If so---nice job !!!! Have a great Day!

I have been following your 10 Pounds Down blogs with interest. Would you consider a follow-up for maintaining your weight once you lose it?

Rationale: I started at Lifetime Fitness in Cary the day it opened in 2007. I got nutritional guidance and worked out with a trainer 3 times a week + two cardio days at a minimum. By June 2008 I lost 65 pounds. Since then, I have worked with a trainer, stopped, lost tone/motivation, and started up again with classes and another trainer. I successfully struggled to overcome workout burnout and complacency, and to find nutritious but not boring food options. But it was a struggle.

I have found that there is an equal challenge to maintaining weight loss and making lifestyle changes permanent. I would be interested in your perspectives. I love the feeling of success & greater self confidence, and I don’t want to lose that!

Good luck with your weight loss goals, and with maintaining your new look.

Thanks but I could stand to lose a few! For the spinach tortillas and ham-egg combination check out CupAjoe at Mission Valley in Raleigh.

Why do you need to loose weight! You look great! Even if the camera puts 10lbs on you still look healthy! Either way good luck on your journey!

Where are you getting these spinich tortillas with scrambled eggs?

Read your vacation blog and thought it was nicely don. A comment from the woman who critized you for taking a vacation during tough times should be ashamed of herself. Our President wants the world economy to grow healthy and all you were doing was giving it a shot in the arm. Glad you had a wonderful time and thank you for sharing it all with us.

We've followed you (while you were reporting) since moving to Chapel Hill in 1979. That summer 30 years ago, our oldest son (17) was in his upstairs bedroom when his little brother (3) noticed a black snake on the roof and pointed out to his older brother -- "Joe, Joe, 'nake, 'nake!" Joe took care of the problem. While fixing dinner that night, we had broccoli and used kitchen tongs to serve them. Once on the plates and tongs back on the counter, Joe remarked, "I forgot to tell you that I used those to pick up a snake from the roof and through it back into the woods." His mother obviously had a fit. Lessons learned: little brother likes hanging around big brother, big brother takes care of little brother; oldest son is honest; oldest son likes to shock parents!
