Hi again…

Bummer on the diabetes and CHF.  I’m glad you got that all worked out and are back on track.  Every now and then we have speed bumps in life, and it sounds like you maneuvered that well and are ready to go again.  I will be happy to see your weight next Thursday when you weigh in-it is going to be great and when you get to your GW, yo…[Read more]

Thanks Tao!  We’ve all gotta find what works best for our bodies, don’t we?  Good job on your 17 pounds!  Wow!  Yeah!

Hey All,

I’m back at this. I had to take some time to adjust my life (with the Doc’s blessings).

Full disclosure: I’m a Type 2 Diabetic
AND I have
Congestive Heart Failure.

So with all the meds I take for blood pressure, diuresis, diabetes, cholesterol (ad nauseam) WITH the low food intake, I really needed to get it all straight to safely…[Read more]

Hi Ann,
From your own thread, here (and your weight tracker, above), I see you’re keeping on keepin’on!
BRAVO!

I see how your meals being late, and your final just before bed, is keeping the cravings to a minimum. Good show!

Peace,
Tao

I’ll join right now! Thanks so much!

  If you are on facebook, and haven’t joined the Why Weight Around Warriors facebook page, I would encourage you do to so.  There are lots of tips and posts from others on the 5 bite.  Have a great day!

Thank you for your encouragement!

You are welcome.  You can do this!  Just take one hour/one day at a time and find what works for you and your body.  Good job on the 3 pounds!  Next week it will be 13 or more!  Hang in there and make today a 5 bite success…

I lost 3 pounds. The first two days were ok but I caved in to temptation several times. Every day I “start over”. I’m trying. I really am. I need to stop trying and just DO.  Thank you for asking

When is it?

Welcome Rebekahylon…how was your first week?

I describe this in pretty good detail in the first chat I gave a year or two again.  Maybe you can join me at my next chat and I can go over this in more detail.  Sound good?

Right Barbie.  And this whole journey is a learning process.  You will learn how to control physical hunger, mental hunger, and how much better life is when you are thin.  The trick, as always, is to barrel your way to the finish line at all costs.  THEN Stage 2 begins, and your life is going to be spectacular!

For now, when you get those ove…[Read more]

Absolutely.  My only recommendation is this: after chewing the gum, don’t swallow it.  Spit it out!  

Very interesting on the calories vs. weight of food and CO2 exhalation.  I never realized or knew that.  Thanks!

Awesome, you guys.  Chelstems: OMG, you are going to HAWAII!  Don’t even consider eating a 6th bite for either of your two meals, and if I’m you, those bites are SMALL at that.  Do you know how amazing you feel sporting a new bikini on the beaches of Hawaii??!!  This is the biggest no-brainer of all time.  YES–you might be hungry from time to t…[Read more]

Happy belated birthday Chelstems!  What a great hubby to plan a surprise weekend getaway to celebrate.  Life is simply too short to not celebrate special occasions.  (Probably Dr. Lewis would not agree-wink, wink-but after losing my youngest brother to cancer within six short months last year, I have a different take on it all.)  Anyway, you did…[Read more]

Hi Ann! I had 2 perfect days in a row last week, and then decided to press pause. It was my birthday Saturday, and my husband planned a surprise weekend getaway for the 2 of us. So I relaxed and enjoyed myself! But yesterday I got right back to it. I ended up eating an additional 2 bites last night before bed. I was so hungry and I knew I…[Read more]
