Activity

At 190, 15 pounds is certainly doable.  But you can’t take in anything extra.  Go for it!!  

This is awesome! Keep going

I am so excited for you Leona. You are doing fantastic!!!   I know that must feel great.    I am on day three.   Looking forward to a trip to Las Vegas in 75 days.   I want to be down enough to not get exhausted when walking and able to wear shorts again !!!!

Thanks so much for your encouragement.  I love reading your posts.  I can identify absolutely!!!   I am on my perfect day 3 

Great!  

YES!!  

Everything about your above post sounds great, Brooks, except the 480 number you threw out.  What’s a calorie?  It’s meaningless.  PLEASE unlearn that word and what it’s supposed to stand for.  Just count your bites!  

Great job, Brooks!  You’re out of the gates with a perfect start.  Take it in 5-minute steps.  Make it another 5 minutes without putting anything in your mouth.  When you get hungry, find a way to distract yourself; in 5-minutes the pang should be gone.  Then, next thing you know, it’s time for your 5 bites.  You are doing GREAT!

Thanks for the support! I’m doing OK so far this week.

Yay!

Super!!  

Then, just have a Snickers bar.  Make it simple.  One bar.  That’s it.  No fudging bites.  Are you up for it?

Thanks for all of the support,  I know I need a routine that I don’t over think things.  I find coming off a fast that I do good for a few days then just fall back into the same old eating routine.   I had a good day yesterday and I am expecting to have a good one today

I’m still working on my 5 bites. It’s been challenging. I have been eating so much less than before and have been very mindful of my bites and my portions. Ready for another day

Welcome Brooks. I’ve tried the fasting route as well. I did lose weight but because I hadn’t learned how to control portion sizes I gained it all back and then some

Welcome Mary. Just take it one day, one hour at a time.

You got this!
