Your energy level is awesome! 12 mile bike ride?! Impressive!

Alrighty. The last two days were perfect bar days. Today is now day 18 and I decided to mix it up and have real food for my second five bites. I made myself a steak and cheese sandwich, kind of Mexican style with avocado and hot sauce on top, but I swear stopping at five bites was hard! Oddly, I find that it’s now relatively painless to do when…[Read more]

You bet, Chloe.  Things for you sound soo good.  I can just tell you are on the right path.  Isn’t this exciting!!!?

Thanks doc!

Day 10

I had a surprising amount of energy today so it seems like my body is in full swing with the fat burning.

still going, here’s to a good week

Indeed!  You are doing great!

Exactly right, Chloe!  And it sounds like you are doing GREAT!  I’m excited for you!!

Day 9

Went on a bike ride today, about 12 miles with no difficulty whatsoever. I am just blown away still. It seems like higher powered movements suffer, but low intensity stuff is just fine.

I’ve also noticed that if I sit or lay down for awhile my energy can be super low when I get up but if I just get up and start moving around, getting the…[Read more]

Thanks! Yeah I’m stoked and ready to drop into the 160s this week

Day 8

Yesterday

It was easy peasy for the most part but I ate dinner at a different time than usual and was a little tired/irritable from that. I gotta try and keep the eating times consistent.

Glad to hear you’re on the mend! Have a wonderful trip!!

That’s awesome. I find documentaries and news about the obesity crisis motivating too. We will not be part of that statistic here!

On that note, here’s an article I read today that’s worth checking out. There’s a clip embedded in the article from Bill Maher about fat shaming that is a great watch too:

Yay! Great first week back. You got this!

That’s wonderful, Susan. Your weight loss is incredible. So inspirational!!

Great point! I am really noticing changes in the way my clothes fit, so I’ll try to stay focused on those non-scale wins to keep me motivated during these slower weeks.

I weighed in this week down 5 pounds. Which is actually better than I feared, so I’m feeling pretty good. Definitely hoping for a bigger whoosh next week though.

I don’t want to be “not fat”.

I want to be thin.

I don’t want to be small.

I want to be extra small.

I don’t want to look OK.

I want to look amazing.

I don’t want anyone to look at me and think  that I look heavier than I did last time they saw me.

I want people to look me and think WOW she’s really thin.

I don’t want to look at my refle…[Read more]

Yes hope tempered with caution!

Regardless of how much water you may retain, you KNOW that you are losing FAT by the hour.  Again, the scale doesn’t tell the whole store.  And the water will leave soon.  Water fluctuations average out in the end.  Keep up the focus!!!

Exactly right, Less … !  The excess fat is more dangerous that you know–trust me.  It’s absolutely lethal.  So race for the finish line, and go as fast as you can!!

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, Chloe!!!  I’m so excited for you!  Don’t you feel remarkably hopeful and excited about what lies ahead?

Day 7

Yesterday was another success. I went back over my old logs to see where I started to crack up and it was somewhere around the second week where I started having a much harder time and began to eat larger meals on the weekends even while continuing to do 5 bites afterwards. This made it so that I had to go over that 3 day hunger pang hill…[Read more]

Day 14 – Multivitamins and black coffee with 2 pumps of sugarfree caramel syrup for breakfast. Lunch was 4 bites of spam musubi. Dinner was a lemon Think! bar. Weigh in for week 2 tomorrow. Honestly a bit nervous about what the scale will say this week. My period started a couple days ago and I usually gain weight during this time. Guess I’ll see…[Read more]
