Activity

Ok! Just weighed this evening….

204.0 lbs.

So about 9.6 lbs gained, just like Thanksgiving.

With that in mind, I am planning to lose down to 110 lbs to leave room for extra water weight, etc.

I have 36 days until my birthday. 94 lbs to go.

So that means I need to lose 2.6 lbs a day to reach my goal by my birthday.

My plan: fast! I don’t…[Read more]

Indeed!  Merry Christmas to all!

Today was great!

I drank 1 mug of coffee and a bottle of green tea, and water. I also drank a mug of broth… My fully vaccinated sister now has chickenpox, so we had broth and I drank it. Anyway. Broth isn’t going to keep away the chickenpox. I did have an awful headache for most of the day, that the broth helped. It must have…[Read more]

Great job!

I wrote a whole post… Then it made me login again and I lost it!

Anyway, today was crazy, fun, and also super stressful. But I was perfect! I actually almost forgot about supper and started wondering why I felt so hungry!

Thank you Susan! 185… By Christmas! Wow, you are making me feel inspired!!!…[Read more]

You are doing awesome skinny!!

I love what you said about holding the baby. When ever I am  feeling tempted to nibble on extra bites I always look around for something else I can do. Especially if I can do something to help someone else. Like, holding the baby! I love the look in the parents eyes when you offer to hold the baby so THEY can eat…[Read more]

Oh wow! I never heard of such a thing! But, yes that would be a horrible thing to happen.

Keep following this plan a you will never have to worry about losing your foot due to obesity!! Ugh.

I weighed this morning: 194.4! So I lost almost 6 lbs.

My goal for next Sunday is 185!!! I can’t wait.

I have a sort of opposite story, that I heard today. It isn’t mine, it was in a documentary. It’s horrifying:

In Evansville, Indiana, formerly known as the fattest city in the USA, a woman lost her foot by simply stepping on it.

She had diabetes caused by obesity, and was stepping out of the tub and twisted or stepped on it wrong.…[Read more]

Today’s check in:

Lunch and supper were 1 Butterfinger bar each.

I weighed this morning and it said 195.6. So I have lost only 4.4 lbs so far, unless I lose a whole lot more overnight. I’m happy to be out of the 200s now though! It was such a funny feeling when I stepped on the scale the first time I got so low, I almost felt sad! lol!…[Read more]

I’m glad this article was published and that you found it.  It is absolutely the best way to lose weight, as I’ve been espousing for years!  But the general population will be slow to come around.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hi Wynona;</p>
As we all know, this is mostly a mind challenge. I have numerous thoughts that I have on loop in my brain. I play them over and over. My first three are as follows:

Firstly, I think about the number one reason I am shedding the weight. The health aspect. The extra fat is toxic and the extra bites I take…[Read more]

Great chat everyone!!

Here is an interesting article I read this morning:

We already know that fast weight loss is the best. But it’s neat to see some more professionals say the same!

Thank you Dr. Lewis!

YES!  Please adopt Rachel’s mantra!  It’s such a good one!!!

GREAT job, Skinny!  You are so right about food’s diminishing returns.  After the first few bites food is not all that it’s cracked up to be.    And great job last night!  You’ve so go this!!

Today’s check in:

Lunch was 1 Butterfinger bar.

Supper was 1 Butterfinger bar.

I ate 1 small bite of fruitcake also. Yep, tastes like I thought it would!

Then I had a hard time this evening NOT giving in since I had already cheated. But I made it! No more bites.

I drank 2 mugs of coffee, and I also had a glass of homemade…[Read more]

Rachel…Thanks for your simple yet powerful words of wisdom. I will try to remember them.
