I can’t believe that in 18 days I have lost 9.5 lbs and 19.5 inches.  It is still a struggle to eat that much food at times but it is getting better.  I was a little bummed that I was not able to sign the 10 lb board.  That .5 lb is my nemisis. lol  Next week I will be signing it for sure.  After speaking with the counselor last night I feel better about my progress so far and am looking forward to this week.
