Great work Samantha! You can see by the rapid weight loss that once you’ve lost the weight and put in the work, your body responds quickly once you return to diet. It is such a mindset. I find that it’s super important to keep momentum until we get to the finish line. No one knows better than me that we all slip and life gets in the way. It just…[Read more]

Day 6

Doing really well still and staying hydrated. Yesterday I went to a trampoline park and jumped for an hour and a half, no energy issues at all. Talked with Dr. Lewis yesterday on the chat. Some takeaways from what I can remember:

Usually people stick with the diet if they actually want to get skinny. Sounds like an obvious thing but I…[Read more]

Awesome, Chloe!  As before, you are right on track!  You’ve totally got this!

Day 5

Thanks all, weighed in at 182 today, 6 lbs down in 4-5 days, not bad! I walk about 13 miles a day for my job 5 days a week and didn’t have any energy difficulties even on my first 3 days back dieting. Usually those first 3 days are the hardest in terms of hunger and energy weirdness as the body is figuring out how to switch over. That…[Read more]

Day 9/21

good morning all! Can’t believe how fast the time is going. Got through a challenging weekend. Did very well.

plan: bar for lunch and bar for dinner.

Catch u later. Busy day which is always helpful.

Great job Samantha!!

Welcome back Chloe! This is the only diet that has ever worked for me too.  Glad you’re readjusting so well.

see you on the way!

Hi Chloe!
So glad you are back on the diet.  I have watched all of your old chats with Dr. Lewis.  Your journey is very inspiring.

I am back for the third time too.  I keep making the same mistake of thinking I can somehow just naturally stick to the 5 bites without counting.

Jennifer

Love it!!

Love it!!

Thank you so much, Gayle!

Days 1-4

Hey all,  wow it has been over a year and half since I last dropped off! I went through a really difficult career adjustment and lost all my focus for dieting but I knew to come back eventually, having experienced dramatic change pre-pandemic. Anyways, looking back at my old posts and seeing the effort and thought I put in to get to a…[Read more]

Samantha – I have so been there.

I am also tired of working so hard and letting a little comment or discomfort derail me.

Let’s do this!

I’m going hard till I get to goal. Weighing in helps with accountability. We cannot expect the scale to always show us what we want to see. Sometimes there are stalls and then big drops.

Let’s check in day…[Read more]

Day 8/21

i haven’t checked in but I have been super perfect!! Decreased appetite and hunger have sent it. I love this feeling when I don’t feel like I’m a slave to cravings and food no longer has a power over me. Yesterday was a social event and I chose not to eat one bite. Today I’m having a barbecue at home and I have planned my perfect five bi…[Read more]

Day 6/21

yesterday was a great day!! I feel  renewed sense of commitment. I’m spending a lot of time on the mental focus portion of this process. When I mentally focus and I don’t “feed” emotions, this process becomes easy.

I am so tired of making excuses for over eating. I am always going to have social events and instead of focusing on the f…[Read more]

day 5/21

Yesterday was a bit tough but didn’t go off the rails. I’ll call it a maintenance day. Today will be 5 bite. I have to keep reminding myself that it’s the fastest way to skinny and healthy.

how are you all doing today??

Not much.  After all, how much does all of that medicine weigh?  The most you could gain from the medicine (or anything you eat for that matter) is the weight of the medicine itself.  And that’s assuming that every atom in the medicine is a carbon atom.  It isn’t, so you will end up gaining less fat than the weight of the medication.  Same goes…[Read more]

I’m back on the train today!  Two bars and plenty of coffee and water.  Fighting a bit of a cold, so I have no idea if my cold medicine will mess anything up. 🤷‍♀️
