First Results

This was my first full day in the program, after that initial assessment period. Martha the dietitian weighed me this morning -- first time since September 9th.

348.9 lbs. Down 13.8 lbs. in 11 days!

And that's mostly just diet -- the hard part (exercise) hasn't really begun.

Looks like my days will consist of exercise, individual consultations with the experts, and group meetings with other participants from a variety of programs at the Institute.

Have an early day tomorrow: a test at the hospital at 6:45 AM. Keep me in your prayers as I do you and yours!
