One week down - Three to go

I was pretty disappointed this morning to see that I've only lost 2 lbs.... then after thinking about it for a while, I realized I've been dieting for 6 weeks already and have had my big moment of first week weight loss. I'm feeling pretty great except for blisters and knee problem - which is improving.
Lots of people have left and new ones have come in. Some nice folks - they look scared. It's ferociously windy here and sand and dust are flying everywhere. I hope it's better tomorrow morning for the hike.
