Activity

Sorry for the typos. I was rushing to get to work and relied too heavily on dictation.

Hi Rachel.
I’m so glad I saw this. As most of the group knows- I am in maintenance. I haven’t been active in the last week or so because of back to back vacations and I don’t want to shift the focus of this group right now with his weight loss. I will be back after vacay.

I wanted to strongly encourage you to follow through with this plan serio…[Read more]

Hi Dr. L!  Yes, they are smaller than a Snickers bar by size and weight. They average around 1.6 oz.

Great, Rachel.  Welcome back!

How many ounces are the Atkin bars?  Are they truly 5 bites?  5 of YOUR bites?

That is awesome progress! Congratulations!

I am starting today with 2 small Atkin meal bars/day. Here we go!

Okay!  And I know you can do this.  I started out at 197 less than 6 weeks ago and have already lost 25 pounds.  It feels amazing!  I even bought snicker bars tonight so I can see if using strictly those will help me speed things up.  Dr. Lewis really should be the spokesperson for that candy bar.  He could really increase their sales!

I love the weekly meetings.  Unfortunately I have Monday classes right now that conflict.  I will watch the recordings though, and stay active here.

Meet with us tonight!  It starts in a few minutes.  

You can totally do this!  Snicker bars are cheap, and we can help support you.  Keep checking in here with us!  ❤️

Congrats on the loss!  That’s wonderful! 😁

I hope you did well on your bars today.  I’m on real food now, but I thought I would do bars tonight.  I get my cravings when I feel week.  Which is about now.  Ha!  But Dr. Lewis said to just give it 15 minutes, so I’m waiting it out.

Good for you Mel!! Maintenance of weight loss requires lifelong vigilance. We know this. There are some tough days and easy days. Today was met with lots of food thoughts. When I get up early – I feel much more of a propensity for food cravings. On these types of days I try to activate my higher brain and remind myself that giving in to the…[Read more]

Day 3:

Down a pound. I feel like something salty. Ignoring the craving. It will pass. Staying busy is the solution.

I have a party tomorrow. Going to exercise my 5 B muscle. Planning on bar day for sunday.

Next Friday I am away on a mini-vacay. I need to keep it tight to prepare for that.

Have a great day everyone!

I lost 2 pounds more with the bars.  Simple math baffles me at times. Hunger and cravings are manageable.  Though today when opening a new bag of treats for the dogs, I realized they were just cheese dusted popcorn cakes and I was suddenly catapulted into daydream of me digging into a bottomless Costco sized bag of popcorn cakes, and th…[Read more]

I’ve been on it for a total of 5 weeks including the 0 week.

Probably.  Week 0 is your starting weight.  Week 1 is your weight after the first week, etc.  So, you’ve been on the diet for 4 weeks?

That’s great Dr. Lewis…the fun is in riding it out and seeing the scale drop!!!  I love it!

How cool you just got a beach shower curtain, Mel!  It’s a sign, LOL! And a big round of applause  to racing past your hubby! You are doing amazingly well!

Gayle, funny you should mention Dopamine Nation…it’s on my reading list. How cool is that???  I…[Read more]
