Great.  I think you will find this very informative.  

Hi Marie!

Welcome!!

My son got married in 2014 and my daughter got married in 2015.

12.5 months apart.

I lost 112 pounds between the two weddings.  People were shocked! I went from a size 22 to a size 8. All with this diet! You can do it, it will be amazing!!

I should mention that it did not take the full year to lose that weight! In fact, I…[Read more]

That’s brilliant!  Love it, will start doing that today

Welcome to the community  Very excited for you!

I am putting this in here today because I really love this idea. I am not sure who Beth said gave her this idea but it was Beth who said it in a chat.

I count my bites backwards. 5,4,3,2 and 1.  that way I don’t leave the door open for bites 6 ,7 , and 8. After bite number 1 it is  0. The end!! 

OK. I am doing this.  I’ve been awake for about 2 1/2 hours and really really really miss my coffee! I miss the clarity that it gives me, the appetite suppressant,  and  it was tough driving an hour this morning without sipping it! No water either.

I feel “off”.  

I wouldn’t want to live like this. But, I think I am going to do it for a co…[Read more]

If the water is clear, it probably is mostly clear, and if I were to evaporate all of the water away in a frying pan there would be very little solute left in the pan.  So I’m OK with it.

It’s clear water. The name is Bubly water. It’s clear but carbonated

Of course its OK to go an additional 8 hours without drinking, but you will probably be anxious to have some water when this “experiment” is over.  

How clear is the water?

Thank you Cassondra.

I finished my 5bite dinner of stew. Day 1 done.

Love this Rebekah! We have to keep in mind the reasons why we started this, and what the ultimate goal is! I’m rootin’ for yah! <3 <3 <3

YOU CAN DO IT!!! WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!!!!            

I do understand, and want to lose that kind of weight.!

I think I will try that tomorrow just to see. I will do my morning weigh ins and not eat or drink for 8 hours. Is it ok to go that long with no fluid? It will be from bedtime tonight thru 2 pm tomorrow.

If I do take a sip or two I will notate it. That will only be if I’m feeling true t…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thank you Dr Lewis. Yes this will definitely keep me focused. And then in September I have another daughter getting married. So 2 daughters, 2 weddings 4 months a part.</p>
I had my first meal today at noon. It was a Persian vegetable stew, 5 bites. I’m feeling a little hungry but my next meal won’t be until 5pm. It…[Read more]

My mom Vicki Wescott has tried these and loves them.

My new thing is chocolate covered espresso beans. so, 1 meal I do those then the other I do my snickers.

But do you understand my point:  Your body loses roughly 10 oz of carbon (fat) through natural breathing every 8 hours.  That will never change.  So you, and only you, can determine what you are doing from the time you wake up till the next time you weigh.  Let me put it this way: if you were not to drink anything or eat anything from 6 am til…[Read more]

YES!  It is absolutely possible.  And with an impending wedding–a monumental lifetime event–you will be will super aware of everything you eat and don’t eat.  Great!  This will keep you focused.  You will eat extra at the rehearsal dinner, but that’s a ways off, and there is no reason that I can see now (an an outsider) why you should ever have…[Read more]
