Thanks, Dr Lewis, it’s good to connect with you again.

You probably remember that for the past decade-and-a-half, I’ve been working to stay inside what I consider to be a reasonable maintenance weight range. Here at age-75-going-on-76, my weight is currently near the top number of my maintenance range, while I would prefer it to be near the…[Read more]

Ah yes … I do miss those pictures, Phyllis!  

Fair enough, Shelly, but you might consider eating something room temperature (like a bar) and then DRINKING something hot, like coffee (tea in your case) or really hot water.

Long time no see/hear, DrColins!  Welcome back!

Are you going to set up your weight tracker?

What is your current weight?  Are you content with that, or do you want to get it lower?

Hi Rachel,    I also discovered as many times as I have done this….I feel more satisfied with something hot.  Even if it is just a half a cheeseburger or less

Shelly

Hi Shelly (controlit) and Rachel.  I’m happy to see you both.

I had a few slips this week.  Still lost a little weight, but not nearly as much as I had wanted.  Looking at past posts, I see that I have a tendency to crash when I eat bars.  LOL.  So lesson learned. Made a switch on Thursday to 5 bite meals of mostly rice and fruit, and a daily bite of peanut butter.

”124 by 44!”

I have been here on and off again for the last 4 years.  I remember chats with both of you.  Happy to see your smiling faces.  I believe we have learned from our past mistakes, and can power through this all the way to goal.

Hi Dr Collins.
I also returned.  I don’t know if this is possible for me but there are many reasons to try my best.

review is great

I’m here again reviewing the new posts and chats.

Why am I making this so much harder than it needs to be? The hunger isn’t really the issue, my brain is telling me to eat more.
I really really want to be thin.
Today I’m doing 10 bites!

Welcome, Kathe.  I hope your first week is fantastic!

That’s a great strategy, Rachel!  I think the holiday weekend was challenging for a lot of people (myself included).  Keep it going!  124 by 44 sounds awesome.

Great!  Right!: When you really focus on your hunger, you’ll realize it’s not all that bad.  It’s totally manageable.

Had a rough day over the long weekend…didn’t binge, but had extra bites and drinks.

But got back on track Monday.  I have put my new motto on my phone screensaver and mirrors as a reminder of my goal.  124 by 44!!! I am noticing that my stomach isn’t really that hungry…it is my mind playing tricks on me, telling me I need to eat somet…[Read more]
