    Outback Jess

    I started this WOE on the same day as somebody we all know. At that time she sent me a pm telling me how exciting it was that we were strarting this journey on the same day. She wished me luck in this new adventure. As the months have gone by I have cheated, started again time and again, the whole time watching her progress. When I look at her success now and see what I could have if I had stuck with it, I finally realize what needs to be done. We aren't so different- any of us. We all have hopes, dreams, and fears. We all live with the struggles of each day but her optimism has made me realize that it can be done. If I had stayed as strong as she did, I would be as many pounds lighter as she is.I just want to thank her for being an inspiration. Because of her, I now realize that it is possible. Thank you Outback Jess, for giving me new hope that it can be done.

    we would astound ourselves.

                  I just got here a couple weeks ago... just started my induction 5 days ago. Jess has been a huge inspiration to me, and even though I'm new she's been my cheerleader and doesn't fail to encourage me.

                  Jess, you are amazing!
