Hooray for all your achievements! After seeing everyone yesterday, and how we are all pumped and ready for this weight loss is so exciting. We are all doing this for different reasons, so it is up to us all independently to care for ourselves emotionally, mentally and physically. We all must know this weight loss is not going to exactly provide us with 'happiness', but hopefully make us all feel whole and healthy again. I am stoked that you are all really trying to better yourselves...it inspires me!

I have not weighed myself, but know I have lost a pinch. I am at work right now, and dont like to weigh in later in the day, so tomorrow morning before work, I will weigh in and see what I lost. Not much time has passed, so not concerned if I only lost a lb. I hate numbers in this regard....BUT for the name of the game, I know we have agreed to tell how much has been lost.

Being a veggie head: Nothing to report, it's easy so far! hahaha The only temptation I might run across is having a grilled chicken ceasar salad - but not going to happen. I am commited for life.

Congrats to you all, especially after we had to be faced with some tempting treats yesterday - we all did great!

I am going now, but wish you all well. Hope you all had a chance to get some good fresh air and exercise today as it seems lovely out!

Love, Jess
