9 lbs from where I was 2 months ago but at least I'm paying attention again. Avoided a binge last night and in the grocery store I put down the cookies and picked up a granola bar. The problem with produce like asparagus, salad, spinach, arugal, etc etc is that it comes package for more than one person and by the time I get to it all it is spoiled. Which is both a waste of money and a constant reminder that I'm all alone. :(

@ Sarah - try the Silk soy yogurt. mmmmm it's like eating custard. Just don't try to convince yourself that it's yogurt, it has a different texture but is yummy in its own right. Like a veggie burger, accept it for it being what it is and it becomes yummy, but as long as you want it to be meat it will always let you down!

@ Jake - kick their butts! I think they're already cheating by putting on a few extra pounds before they start because it will be easy too lose right away. However your approach will win in the end as they try to crash diet their way to success. I can feel your victory already.
