Activity

I agree.  Don’t give up.  Hang in there.  But let me emphasize this again:  eat an EXACT amount of food, and eat EXACTLY twice a day.

Yes. I agree. Small steps, small goals and don’t beat yourself up. Be kind to yourself and stay focused. Read and reread Why Weight everyday.  I love that book. It really helps to keep me on track when I’m feeling tempted. I’m working on memorizing some keys passages because I know tough times are ahead. You got this girlfriend.  Just remember w…[Read more]

I’m starting week two as well. So great to have that in common with you. I love all the inspirational stories and supportive friends. Stay focused. I know we can complete week two successfully. I’ll check in later to see your progress. Excellent job on your first week.    

I too just finished my first week. I too am lighted headed when I stand. Today is day eight. I’m exhausted as well. I think it’s normal and will go away over the next few days.  This is an adjustment period. I lost 6 pounds my first week. The body needs time to adjust to that. Don’t do anything strenuous yet. I find just walking outside to see my…[Read more]

Days 4 and 5

So far so good! the old habits come back really easy. Been listening to the old chats and absorbing the advice. It’s easier with 15 bites but I know it is much slower. I will certainly take advantage of just 5 biting when I can but it’s a pretty amazing thing so see weight loss with even 15 bites. I’m already down 7.5 lbs down to…[Read more]

That’s awesome 👏
I love this quote!

I love that!!  

I love it BK!  And a perfectly-set hungerstat is an amazement to be experienced!  

So, I love trying new things. Today I saw bacon flavored cotton candy. Lol! I was so curious I had to try. I mean, why not? 

It was actually good! and the best part was that 5 bites was less than 1/2 an ounce!! That’s all I am having today!! 

Excellent!! Glad you’re feeling better!!

It feels so much better not being hungry once your hunger stat is reset.

It still amazes me!

Perfect days Thursday thru Sunday. Today will be one, too. I have the day off and am just hanging out with my hubby all day! 

Still haven’t been on the scale since Thursday and won’t until this Thursday. I can feel some good results happening. 

Wow 112 lbs is no joke, that’s amazing! It’s good to see someone else that went through the same thing, it really helps. Yeah things are already working pretty well, getting back into the same kinds of good habits. It’s like a muscle that I used to work out and stopped for awhile but it still knows how to lift things! Anyways, thank you, the…[Read more]

Hi Chloe;

I have seen you on some of the chats!!

So Glad you’re back!

I had lost  112 pounds here in 2014-2015 and then went “ off on my own” too.

I never reached my goal of 125, even though I went down from 250 to 138, and therefore never went into the maintenance stage. I just kind of drifted in and out of other diets for about 3 years…[Read more]

I fell off yesterday as well. I had a BBQ with all my kids that turned in to both lunch and dinner. I decided to enjoy the day and not beat myself up. I’m up 1.5lbs but back on plan today. We can do this. Get back up dust yourself off for and get back on the wagon.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Next time you feel the pull to eat more just read this post! It’s amazing how easy it can be to fall off but as long as your next meal you get back on! You’re still doing great because you haven’t completely given up.</p>
