Way to go

@drlewis – Yes, I promise.    It was just a small reward for my perfect day, and awesome exam.

@beth – thanks!

Yay!!! Way to go Rachel!!!!

Great job, Rachel, but PLEASE stay off the scale until weigh-in day.  OK?

Right on, Danica!  Congrats on your success last week!  Isn’t this exciting?!!!

Welcome. This is definitely the fastest way to lose it. Let’s do this!

Yay! I can’t wait to be there too. You are doing great!

Thank you all!

I will post my weekly weight on Saturday, as usual.  However, I rewarded myself with a quick look at the scale this morning…I am definitely in “One-derland” again!    Can hardly wait to share my results with all of you in a few days.

My advice to anyone struggling is this. Embrace the hunger. Your reward will be on the scale. I have been perfect so far and am down 15 lbs this week. I am in shock. Even at the hardest moment it is so manageable. I eat at 12 and at 5 pm. I think I will start weighing once a week from now on so I see the number drop even bigger. Let’s all do this.…[Read more]

Rachel, when I was in graduate school, I had to promise myself not to gain 30 pounds, as I had done that with both previous degrees (stress eating/celebrating) !! It is amazing you are able to keep it together while also finishing school!!

Way to go!!

Exactly right, Rachel!  Congratulations on your exam!

Right.  The food isn’t going anywhere.  What ever you throw away today you can buy again and have fresh tomorrow.  The “wasted” expense is actually an worth-while investment in your own health–money extremely well spent.  So please get comfortable tasting and tossing!

Breezed through my Final Exam tonight.    So happy I didn’t let the stress get to me this week.  Now I just need to resist the temptation to reward myself for a job well done.  LOL!  Well…I can’t think of a better reward than a few less pou…[Read more]

I really need all the motivation I can get

Excited to still see your progress! 4lbs is great! You got this!

Your wedding is a great goal! I wasn’t able to get to the weight I wanted for mine and I definitely regret it. All of your hard work will pay off. I keep telling myself “there is always more” food and it has been helping me resist temptation

At least you have plan and that really helps to stick to the plan! Have a fabulous time!

That’s awesome!  I love the idea of having mini goals and rewards along the way!

Still doing well! Had a great day yesterday on the plan and it’s making me feel more confident. Chose some rewards/prizes for myself for hitting certain weight goals along the way to help my motivation. Sticking to snickers and trying to stay super busy/ out of the kitchen!

No. I’ve been doing regular food so I’ll continue that on the trip. Dr. Lewis said he wants me to try bars so I’ll do that when I get back.
