Expensive diet pill?

Since I started taking Malerone, an antimalarial pill, I've lost 12 pounds. I lost 3 pounds before I left for India, almost 7 pounds in India, and ~ 3 more since I returned. I look much like the picture Jon posted from 14 years ago.

I go off the Malerone today, and I'm hoping to balloon back to my welterweight class. The other option is I have a tapeworm.

I was about to ask details that I've since decided that I don't need to know about the method of weight loss. For instance, has there been no other symptoms? If not, I hope that everything resolves when you go off the medicine.
On a different note: your boys must be so excited to have you home!

I'm pretty sure the method of weight loss was apetite loss. So it wasn't unpleasant at all.

I gained 6 pounds back in 3 days after going off the medicine.

My boys missed me (or at least Aidan did). Wesley's still considering it.
