Welcome Ari!

Thank you for sharing your story. You are going to do great things here. I hope that when your family and friends see you losing weight that they will be supporting you!!

My advice would be to give in to the science of this diet and allow your body to live off of your reserves. The first 3 days will be uncomfortable as your body…[Read more]

“When you realize how much the extra weight affects your heart, liver, kidneys, and brain, you really want to get it off of you as quickly as possible.” – Dr. Lewis

You are doing so great!! Very inspiring!

Out of exhaustion, I forgot to come back in and report on my day.

I had planned on fasting all day which I did not accomplish and I am bummed about that.

I did however stay under 10 bites for the day. Which is good. 

I drank so much water trying to avoid eating that I feel very bloated even today! My eyes are real puffy too.  I e…[Read more]

The gum is working great! Had one piece when I gave them breakfast and another piece when I gave them lunch. We went for a nice walk to get out of the house in between.

Now they are napping and I am too wired from the caffeinated gum and 4 cups of coffee to sleep! Going to read the good book….

You got this!!

So today is Wednesday, the  day that I babysit my 3 year old twin granddaughters. This is the day I most often slip because I prepare 3 meals plus snacks for them. Plus, unlike my house, there is delicious food every where. My son and his wife always invite me to eat whatever I want, and although I know I am 5 biting, the temptation is always…[Read more]

We always try to justify why we should have a little bit more to eat. But, when we don’t, we will always say thank God I didn’t give into that feeling. We will never regret it. – Dr Lewis

That sounds really, really good, Amy, but have you been able to keep that pace since the 22nd?  If not, why not?  What derailed you?  

I love it Susan!  Yes!  Great chat indeed!  You CAN do this.  As hard as resisting the snack temptation may be, you only have to be perfect for 25 more days!  Think about how long you’ve been on this journey.  25 days is nothing!!  

Great quote! Losing excess fat is never unhealthy 

Have you tried the snake juice fast? I’ve heard great things about it. I’m 44hrs in to a water fast but will be breaking it in a few hours for cake tasting. Only plan on 5 bites of 5 difference cakes. Then fasting again until my luncheon tomorrow breaking with another 5 bites. Then right back into fasting

Thank you for the encouragement Susan. I really need all I can get right now

How are you doing Amy?? 

You got this Marie! The food will always be there! Think of how amazing you will look in all the photos to be taken at the wedding when you are at your goal. You will love looking back on such a beautiful day with no regrets!!

Had a great chat with Dr. Lewis last night! I feel very strong going in to today and going in to the home stretch of my weight loss. I have 25 (ish) pounds to go and my goal date is 25 days away!! 

I should be able to lose a pound a day but I have not been able to!! Going to fast when ever I possibly can ! Going to 5 bite once a day when I…[Read more]
