When granddaughter, Jada, was born with leukemia, a donor-match was located and Jada made a miraculous recovery. In honor of her grandaughter's health, Jeanna has decided to walk across the country (in the dead of winter) to raise awareness and build support for the bone marrow registry (all that's required is a cheek swab). Follow Jeanna's remarkable journey as she travels the United States by foot.

"I don't care how much it hurts I've got to have control!
I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul!"

I am a cow. And it's killing me. The hunger pains are nothing compaired to looking at myself. Feeling my nastiness move as I walk. I cannot believe I've let myself get to this point! I've got to stop looking to other people and look only inside myself. I have random access to a computer and I know no one who thinks like me. At least not in person. So while I'm away from my computer, I am alone. Only me and the thoughts in my head. And that's all it's going to take to get out of the wrong frame of mind. I have been letting fat win, but not anymore. Good luck with your goals, ladies. I hope you're all doing well!

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:

Oh shit. I've gained so much weight over like.. what? 2 weeks?! Okay, maybe not 2 weeks, it has been starting over a month ago, and I freaking hate it! At the moment I weigh 128lbs and I'm only 5'5 tall!? And I just keep asking my self; "HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?!" But I know how it happened.. I've been eating like a freaking pig! And my bones are almost gone, and I just keep looking back at the time where I weighed 120lbs. Yea, I know it's not so much less, but in my head it just seems like this huge difference. I just need to not eat.
