YIPPEE!
I weighed in yesterday and lost another 5 lbs. Boy did I need the motivation. If can do without food for 18 weeks I know I have a better chance of controlling what I put in my mouth when I have completed this program. I do have a lot of energy and have finished a lot of projects since I started the diet. (maybe to keep from eating)
