Yea! I got my book today. I've been reading the first chapter and I'm excited to begin. I've never felt this way before. Part of it is that I don't feel alone this time because I have all of you joining me on this adventure. Making the two teams was really smart because it offers as much or as little support as you feel you need. Also, I know we'll all encourage each other regardless of your reasons for going on the 17 Day Diet. Whenever I talk openly about my desire to live more healthfully, people say "You don't need to lose weight!" I get so tired of hearing that! What they think is a compliment is really a statement that I'm incapable of knowing what's best for me. Is there a law that says you have to be completely out of contol before you can make changes? Or, is it okay to see a trend towards ill health and want to do something before you slide even farther?

So, I'm getting started tomorrow morning! If you want to work together and offer support, let me know. Good luck to everyone!
