Activity

M.T.  What you are feeling is fairly common, but be rest assured it DOES go away completely.  Be sure you are drinking plenty of water, and if you can tolerate it, coffee.  Also, you might add electrolytes to your water until this feeling passes–or drink electrolyte-infused water.  This should help.  All I can say is this: you are right on trac…[Read more]

Great job both Kylie and M.T.  You guys are superstars!!!

This is my fifth day on bars.  6 pounds gone!  Lots of water weight gone, and my sides are already slimming.  Little bit of a headache and weakness as my body is probably detoxing.  How is everyone else doing?  I’ll record my eight next week.

Good morning Kylie!  I hope you are doing well today. ♥️

Thank you ladies!  Elizabeth,  I am drinking Stur water enhancer.  Feeling a little better tonight and hoping the weak feeling passes tomorrow.  I’m still sticking to the diet, no problemo!

I am a stress eater also and food is what helps the stress, but only in the moment.  Then there’s compounded stress from being overweight and eating more to temporarily deal with it.  I give up, binge on unhealthy foods to make me feel better…and it’s a bad cycle.  I’m on day four and even though I’m a bit weak and would totally love a chocolate…[Read more]

That’s great, Michelle! I love how you post your losses every day.  And hello Mahta!  Nice to meet you! ❤️

Thank you for the posts!  I’ve joined this board before and have felt discouraged in the past when people drop off and I feel I’m the only voice on the board.  It’s lonely!  Kylie and Elizabeth, don’t give up!  This does work.  I reached 117 pounds and kept it off for quite awhile, but ended up not keeping up with my healthier diet while on mai…[Read more]

Thank you Elizabeth and Kylie, that would make sense.  It’s another motivator to stay on this diet.  Who thought a diet of snicker bars would have that awesome side effect.  😆

He sent a pm 2 days ago to me, so I’m hoping he’s okay too.  Maybe he’s still away on vacation?

Welcome back Mahta!

Yesterday 171 from 176 (-5 ) I’m not doing bars regular food I enjoy the different bites & feeling included in the variety of bites too much & since I am losing right now im going to stick to this for right now.

You got this!!!! You are you & you have did this in the past & you will do it again!

Your a fighter! That’s why we love you!

Sorry to hear your struggling

I do think getting help is okay.

We would support someone needing help if they needed help with depression I now feel allowing ourselves to get the hell we need is an important part of this journey.

Is there anything you find helps you distress outside of food?

I’ll share one I use I do puzzles & have a drink like…[Read more]

I love the posts too I just can’t post daily most days but ill always touch base and cheer ya on. Kylie you can do this have you reached out maybe for a appetite suppressant? I was against them for years my pride was so thick and I was mean to anyone who got help but I pushed that aside & a big share for me with all of you is I’ve tried some. My…[Read more]

Michelle, Great to see your post. I’m happy it is working for you.

Are you drinking unsweetened herbal tea? Or black coffee? Diet Soda?

I’m thinking it might help with the fatigue a little.

I am feeling the same way. I’m giving myself till the end of the month. Then I need to make some hard decisions.

My guess is that there is less sodium and therefore less water being retained. But yes I have felt this when I did a complete 1 day fast before.
