Activity

I really like it, Susan!!    Imagery helps to keep your ultimate goal real and keeps you focused on your eating plan until you are there.  

1 bar only on Thursday and Friday. 1 bar only today and my hunger is gone! Hunger stat is totally reset!! ! I am so thankful for this diet. Never have I been on any other diet where I am just not hungry!!

Still remaining off the scale! Feels good. I feel lighter! 

“You are my voice. I have no other voice in the part of the country you live in. You are an extension of me. You are an extension of this diet and my vision for this world. Do it for you, but also do it for me.”- Dr. Lewis

I love it, Christina!  You are exactly right!  There will be plenty [more chances than you otherwise would have had] opportunities to eat that in the future.  For now, being on the path you are is MUCH more exciting and filling.  There’s simply nothing like it!!  

Some “food for thought”: 

“Think about the insignificant nature of the food. A cupcake is just flour and eggs and sugar. That’s all it is. And you can have it, at the end.”

-Dr. Lewis

I will definitely do that! I’ll need to do something to keep myself in check.

Maybe some visualization will help to keep me off the scale this week, too. Not actually getting on the scale , but, Visualizing it saying 122, and how great that will be!!  That will stop me from taking the extra bites. 🛑

Glad you were not tempted. It’s pretty incredible, right?

Good luck with Pizza Day!

I doubt that the carbonated water, by itself, is the culprit.  But, as I always suggest, try sticking to plain flat water and black coffee or tea exclusively.

I LOVE that idea.  Also, try employing some of the concepts I sent you in your message box.  

I am back from vacation just in time for weigh in day. I gained 2 pounds over the last week which is discouraging but, it could have been worse.

I have decided to take a new approach for the next week. Something that I have never done before. I am putting my scale on the shelf.

I got on the scale this morning and I am not getting on the scale…[Read more]

I’m only down 1 lb in the last 6 days. I’ve lost a total of  7.5lbs in the last 10 days.  I’m feeling very discouraged. Not giving up though. I am going to stop the carbonated water completely. I literally drink up to 10 a day. I know they’re sugar free, calorie free etc but maybe the carbonation is affecting my weight loss. Hopefully this will…[Read more]

Me too Marie! I had some slips over vacation where I had bites 6,7 and 8!  Usually when there was booze involved.  And then the booze itself was a no-no and added to the weight gain.

And now I am up 2 pounds in one week, I sooo regret it.

This is my #1 Focus!! Losing these 35 pounds is what I want more than anything ‘

Right.  Don’t stress, Marie–just go with it.  If you’re not eating, you’re not pooping, and that”s a GREAT thing!  But I’d be super aware of liquids that contain carbon.  Liquids other that water and black coffee won’t supply material for a bowel movement, but will absolutely fill up your fat stores (or keep you from losing).  

Indeed: WELCOME!!!  You are right on track.  And it gets even easier; simply don’t change a thing until that extraordinary day when you cross the finish line!  I can’t wait!!!  

I love that quote. That is exactly where I am right now

Welcome Becky. I joined recently as well. It sounds like you’re doing great.

That’s good to hear Susan. I think I’m just going to keep on keeping on and stay of the scale until next Wednesday. I think I’m stressing too much
