You are definitely going to get there this time. What an incredible journey you will have to tell people. You have also definitely inspired me to get back on track. Joining back here tomorrow for…[Read more]

Just saw that you were a pole dance instructor? Super cool! Some parkour people cross train with pole dance because of all the cool bar stuff. We have a bar scaffolding in our backyard to train on. It’s not quite the same but I get a sense of the energy it can take to do stuff. It gets even easier when you’re lighter though! I can swing from 1…[Read more]

Hi Raya!  Welcome!  7 lbs in 2 days???   You are doing great!  I love your idea about setting aside the 5 bites and then taking the bites from there.  I struggle with the temptation to take massive bites, so I think I will use that method too.  Good luck and congrats on starting off so strongly.  You are going to do great!! 

Thank you so much for the support

Day 4

Today was another perfect day though not without temptation! At my friend’s birthday party tonight there was a ton of tempting food, but I didn’t touch any of it! Phew. I kept reminding myself that I could either feel despair or victory at the end of the night depending on my choices… so I chose…[Read more]

Chloe – I’ll help you discover your perfect weight when we get in the neighborhood.  

YES!  I love it!!

Lol Dr. Lewis don’t lose many more weight!!!

Hi Raya! That’s good to hear and helps me push along knowing that I’m setting an example.

Day 22 & 23

Going strong still, making good food, getting the right kinds of habits, meditating a lot, coffee helps, figuring out the game plan for when I am done. My biggest challenge will be figuring out…[Read more]

You got this Megan! Would love to hear about your daily progress. You are my hero for doing this AND being a mom!!

Thank you! Yes definitely keeping the bites normal size. I find what’s working for me is setting aside 5 “bite” sizes of food and then eating each one really slowly.

Today was another perfect day. Excited to step on the scale again and see where my weight is at tomorrow.

L – coffee & 5 bites of a turkey panini, multivitamin

D – 5 bites of panda…[Read more]

Indeed Chloe!  Every time I reread your entire thread I get inspired to lose weight–and I don’t have anymore weight to lose!!

Brilliant, Raya!  When you are not doing bars, it is SO IMPORTANT to keep your bites sizes normal and to stop at 5–no matter what.  But you are doing it!  GREAT!!!

Thanks Dr and Meri!

Mom life keeps me so busy that sleep sounds better than food at times.

I’m glad we’re here to cheer each other on toward our goals!

Chloe, you are doing amazing!!!! I’ve been reading through your journal and I am in awe of you. Thank you for setting this example. It’s really comforting to know you’re somewhere in the world experiencing what we’re experiencing and SUCCEEDING. Yes!!!!

I’m going to start sharing my own progress in a daily log, too. Keep it up!

Day 21

3 weeks in and I rode 18 miles on my bike today! It was enjoyable and easy, I’m quite surprised. I went at a very slow/comfy pace. Excited to log my weight tomorrow to see my progress. zzzz

Love it, Chloe!  Thank you!  You are an inspiration to us all!

Yeah, it feels good!

Day 20

I’m doing great! Still! Still?! so I guess I’m farther in than I’ve ever been so to speak because last time I only got to 16 days or so before I started taking “top ups” on the weekend. It started with just doing 20 bites extra but morphed into terribly uncomfortable buffet weekend and then a really hard week of re…[Read more]
