Heather, reading your story was inspirational.  You are so close to your goal and it is quite impressive.  What a great chance to make such a change in your career and location all while being 40 lbs lighter.  And you are so young.  I’m 58 and just now  tackling this.  From where I stand, I can only wish I was that young when I found this amazi…[Read more]

Thank you Mel! Those old habits get us every time. No more old ways.   You are an inspiration too!

Talking to you today helped me stay on target.  I have a tough time waiting until 5 pm for dinner, but I did it!  It was because I reflected on your struggle.  I know you will get back on track.  Just remember the joy of last week.  A little work, and more joy is headed your way.  A lot is going on in your life right now, so you deserve to have that joy.

Thank you so much for the encouragement!!

I know that you are right and I’m trying to give myself a little grace right now. I know things aren’t as bad as they seem. I’m just really stressed, lol!

I am going to try really hard to stay the course though. Tomorrow is a new day!

I’ll keep checking in on here, it definitely helps!

I hope you are…[Read more]

Moving is one of the most stressful things you can do, let alone changing a career!  Please don’t give up nor beat yourself up.  Stress eating just causes more stress.  Start fresh tomorrow!  Or, if it seems too much, maybe you could go on an altered 5BD to maintain what you’ve already lost to get you through this current stressful time and the…[Read more]

Hi there! Thank you for checking in with me. I’m actually not doing very well at all. Last week I felt on top of the world. This week I feel stressed, emotional and anxious. We are closing on the sale of our house tomorrow and moving cross country and the stress has made it very hard to focus and I’ve def had some slip ups and mistakes. I’m afraid…[Read more]

Looking forward to my first zoom chat!

Hey Heather!  How are you doing this week?

You’ll totally conquer this! Especially with your new determination. I went down to 117 years back, but went back to the old bad habits that brought me back up to 197.  This time, I’ll get down to my healthy goal weight and move into healthy eating habits. Your 20 pound loss is inspiration for me!  And sharing your fumble makes it relatable.

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone! It’s encouraging!

Does anyone know how to rest the weight tracker?  Today starts week 2 for me, but the tracker states that I’m in week 3.  I just lost 9 pounds during my first week!

That’s funny!  I heard another mantra…”90% is a *itch, 100% is a breeze”. So true.  All-in is way easier that almost-in.

Welcome back Mel! I know you are going to have great success! We are here to cheer you on and watch you take the victory! We are in this together.

I like that!

I love that, Heather!  You are 146 now, no?  Does that put you at 125 or so?  Just for giggles, how about 120?  ;)

<p style=”text-align: center;”>Yep! My plan is to lose 20 more! Feeling confident!</p>

Thank you!  I totally believe that.  I’m ready to feel healthy again.  Buckle up for safety!
