Good morning everyone. I’m doing well today.
On plan and planning to stay that way.
I find it very interesting to look at the group results from week to week. Just like individuals the group seems to get enthusiastic at the beginning of the month or the beginning of the year. I’m going to keep adding the monthly results to the end of these reports. I think we’ll find over the course of the year that despite the highs and lows the accumulated totals over time will be impressive.
I’d like to congratulate everyone who participated with the group this past week for all of the choices that you made to eat healthy and to exercise. For every time you ate oatmeal and veggie soup instead of hamburgers and fries – WELL DONE!!
I’d particularly like to speak to several of you whose posts inspired me yesterday.

I wont be sick, I wont feel gross, I wont want to go to sleep, I wont gain weight, AND I wont be guilty the REST of the week!! I'm sooo lucky!
I love your enthusiasm. It helps to remind me why I choose to do McDougall.

I am losing weight and can honestly say am rarely hungry. Oh, I get hungry enough to know when to eat again, but it's not "dieting" hunger.
It's been 57 days Vegan and it's second nature now. Everything is easier. Looking forward to March challenge.
Hang in there everyone!

I’m with you Felini. I am also rarely hungry, a big improvement for me from weight watchers or the raw food diet I was following before.

I so appreciate your consistency LauraA. You’re doing wonderful and you have inspired me to push myself to exercise.

Keep up the good work everyone. Cynthia
I’m so excited for you Cynthia. 12 pounds is equivalent to 48 cubes of butter that you’ve melted off your body. Thanks for being part of the group.
