Dr. Lewis is my new work from home coworker. Lol. I stream the chats while I work all day.

Right on, Allison!

@allison – that is fantastic!  Happy the discussion helped you.  I hope you can join us on the call next Monday!  These weekly calls are incredibly helpful and motivating.

@drlewis – thanks for the encouragement!  Hoping for a “10” loss this week, and doing my very best to get there.

Rachel, I enjoyed watching the video chat! I relate very much to your point about not enjoying the food when you ate something you weren’t craving. Yesterday I really wanted lunch-able crackers and meat, but instead I told myself to have meat and cheese only (as if low carb might be better) – well I was not satisfied, and it sort of messed me up…[Read more]

That, everyone, is how you do it.  Go Rachel!!

I love this Matt:

“when I used to feel hunger pains, I would just crunch my stomach and do some type of workout (even if just for 30 seconds), then drink some water and/or coffee”

Keep up the great work!  I have a feeling that we have the “A team” on the community boards right now.  We are all here to get things done, for good this time!

Tonight was a little more difficult, but I pulled through.  Allowed myself to have a few bites of what I was craving, and immediately threw the rest in the garbage.  I am not going to let A…[Read more]

Absolutely brilliant.  I am so happy for you!!

You are off to a great start!! I literally spent 5 years gaining and losing the same 5 pounds. I am on day 6 and I was down 12 pounds!!

It has been a tough year, for a lot of people, really really tough. For me, we’ve been blessed, but my diet(s) not so much. I grew extremely confident that whenever I would falter, I would just go back to 5 bites and recover. The problem with that is I took this approach for granted. I kept pushing back the days and weeks that I would actually…[Read more]

 If the bodies of those people who have had gastric bypass surgery thrive, then be rest assured that doing the same thing but without the surgery is equally as good for your body.  I know at times you will feel weak and dizzy and lightheaded and “off,” but you are NOT damaging the body in any way.  You are simply resetting your hu…[Read more]

Very good advice Rachel!! This is the first time I am actually trying by the book (and I am so glad I joined). I never gave myself to really try before. I am “pretending” like I had gastric bypass, and that helps me to stick to it.

You got this!  Some of us, it takes a little longer to get the hang of things.  But each time we do this, we are learning from our mistakes/past, setting us up for eventual success.  I have a feeling this is going to be the time you see success, and hit that goal!  So exciting to see you back here giving it your all.

Last night I was talking to…[Read more]

Still trying to stay on track. I seem to fall in a pattern of three days perfect and then get waaaaayyy too confident. I go off bars and then off the diet for two or three days only to start over again. Bars only for me! 🤞 💪

Thanks all!  I love waking up, not hungry, and feeling light and amazing!  @allison – awesome job on the 10lbs!

Great job!!! I am thankful this is working for me!! I have seen numbers on the scale I have not seen in 10 years!!!!

Way to go Rachel! Your doing great!
