Thanks everyone:)

Right.  All of the above is true.  Don’t put too much credit into your scale.  They can be very misleading.  But if you are having a bowel movement once or twice a week, you are doing GREAT!  Just stick to the plan and off the scale (but once a week for your weigh-in).  

Thanks Dennis. I know it will move,  it has to.

I did try on a pair of pants that were too tight in the waist a few weeks ago and they fit perfect now. I’m losing inches, I just have to wait for the scale to catch up

Congratulations Amy 23lbs in two weeks is fantastic I’ll bet your already feeling the benefits of loosing those lbs

1. Marie if your doing the diet to the t and it sounds like you are I would try not to worry to much the scale it will get moving again as long as you stay focused on perfectly following the diet it will all work out

Wow Amy!! Congrats on your amazing results!! Your focus and determination are inspirational!!

I’m still at 164.5 today 

I was doing bars but thought maybe all that sugar was stalling my weight which is why I gained back 1/2lb yesterday. So yesterday  I made a chicken sandwich and had 5 bites for lunch and 5 bites for dinner. I didn’t gain again but I also didn’t lose. 😔 The only time I feel hungry is right before lunch and 5 b…[Read more]

You’re doing amazing Amy!! Wow 23lbs in 2 weeks! That is so awesome! 

You’ll be a goal in no time 

Hmm?  I’m sure the numbers will be back down tomorrow.  Sometimes I wonder about my scale. I can get one reading then step off and step back on and get a 2-3lb difference. I’ll step off and step back on until i get the same reading 3 times in a row.  Then I figure that’s my weight.  I miss the old scales before everything went dig…[Read more]

I gained 1/2lb 😔

I’m at 164.5 today. The only thing I did differently yesterday was not as much water intake and I had gummy vitamins at 10am.

I’m going to up my water today, stick with my 5 bites at 12 and 6 and walk on the treadmill for 20-30 min

For me it was around the start of week 2 when i noticed my energy level going up…like way up.  More so than before I started the diet.  Hope that helps.  I just figure its my body tapping into all the excess fat to use as fuel.  I have so much energy now that I decided to try adding in a short workout today.  Felt pretty good.  Even though I’m s…[Read more]

I just bought caramel macchiato flavored coffee…..amazing!!

Since I’m only used to drinking one cup of regular coffee in the morning I hope I’m able to sleep tonight  

I’m still hanging in, still feeling weak and exhausted but not giving up

Right guys.  Just trust the process; the rest will take care of themselves.  Amy, if you back away from the scale (and don’t use it as a subconscious crutch) you may find that you adhere to the diet much better than you otherwise would.  Good luck!!  

AWESOME, Marie!  7 pounds in 3 days is BRILLIANT!!!  Doesn’t it feel amazing?  Doin…[Read more]

I would not be able to resist lol.

For the first time in years I’m actually looking forward to stepping on the scale each morning.
