Thanks for sharing this with us, Shelly. Yes–we all should be losing weight primarily for our health. Extra fat cause both inflammatory damage, mediated by cytokine production that causes metabolic disease (hypertension, high triglycerides, low good cholesterol, elevate uric acid and gout, kidney insufficiency eventually leading to kidney…[Read more]

If you eat a Snickers bar in 8 bites, then your bites are small. Fine. Then take 8 bites for every meal. But please don’t exaggerate the size of those bites–you need to keep them consistent. You will do very well. :cheer:

Day six on Snickers bars complete. Not sure if I should be concerned, but noticed that the standard 1.86 oz bar seems to be 7-8 bites for me (guess I have a small bite??). Should I be concerned? Should I count 5 bites and stop, or am I okay with the consistency of the bar size??? Should I wait until my weight loss slows and then count…[Read more]

You will do great, Beth! It’s good you’re thinking ahead so you can make a specific plan. Are you planning to keep 5biting while there or start enjoying maintenance eating? You could post your plan here and maybe commit to weighing as soon as you get back.

And if you have time after your trip, I would love to hear any tips you…[Read more]

I’ve noticed it always seems to work if I go there right after logging in. If I spend time on the forum first and then try to go to the tracker, it messes up. But then I can just log out and log back in to make it work.

Thank you, controlit!

I just finished a perfect day 3 of my “come-back.” I’m feeling hopeful and excited again! My next huge milestone will be 1 week. I’m going to do it! I will soon be strong like before- when it seems easier to continue perfectly than to consider cheating. Can’t wait!!

Exactly! The little victories along the way help tremendously. Celebrate each step in the right direction and you’ll get to your goal – it helps to make the journey fun

You look great Pia!

Thank you Shelly! I’m so proud of you too! I’m so glad that you came back and are pushing through 115lbs was my initial goal, but I’m aiming to lose a little bit more.

Pia, I think you should go for it then – if you find you get too skinny you can always put a little bit of weight back on. You’ve done so well and have come along way in your journey

Even though I know I should not be doing it, I have been weighing myself every morning. Not sure why, just a little obsessed I guess.

I was 251.2 this morning, but was 251.9 yesterday. I could feel myself starting to get a little upset and the self doubt creeping in, as usual.

I got the idea to measure my waist, and thank goodness that I did.…[Read more]
