Very impressive, Neil!!

And I hope to see you at the chat!

“You are not fat because you eat too much, you eat too much because you are fat!”

Yes, smaro! That will be a good way for me to remember it. Dr. Lewis’s book definitely goes into that. And in my case, it may be extra bad because almost all of my fat is belly fat. I have to keep reminding myself how much better I will feel and how much easier…[Read more]

I TOTALLY hate being wasteful, too. I don’t think it’s environmentally friendly. All this wasted energy. And it generally doesn’t suit my character. Still, though, eating everything is not an option. Our stomachs are not trash cans.

I have been doing the following:
1.save it for next meal (eco-friendly and frugal)
2.put it in a small piece of tin…[Read more]

Fabulous Crissa!

I use short-term goals as motivators BUT no stopping till you get to the finish line! Slips happen BUT the tough part is getting back on plan and resetting. I have reset many times. It’s just so much easier to not have hunger and to chip away at the days.

You could be at goal sooo fast!

I wasted so much time and want to make…[Read more]

Right on, 5BGirl!

What an interesting point- it’s the FAT what’s wrong with having cravings. (I haven’t read the book, but I plan to order it soon) Reminds me of something I heard from a doctor in tv: “You are not fat because you eat too much, you eat too much because you are fat!”

You are doing great! Keep on!

Day 5: 210, 8 lbs
0,4 lbs gone since yesterday ( 4 lbs in 4 days)

The day was surprisingly easy. I ate my first bar in the morning. Right before eating it, I made for my children sandwiches with gouda cheese and heated them in a panini toaster. They looked yummy with all that melted cheese but I did not crave them at all! Yay! :woohoo:

I ate my…[Read more]

My own Thoughts this morning about “Exceptional”.
My signature and the photo below define my personal Weight-Loss and Maintenance of Weight-Loss.

Webster defines Exceptional as:
(1) Forming an exception: RARE
(2) Better than average: SUPERIOR
(3) Deviating from the normal: Above or Below Average

(1) It is very RARE to establish eating beh…[Read more]

Weekend had ups and downs – ready to buckle down to get this done quickly:

Looking forward to chat tomorrow. Will do my weekly weight ins on Monday AM.

That does not sound like a “lazy” Sunday to me.

I say kudos for the results and the mindset.

Bring on Day 7 of BAR CHALLENGE

Time is speeding by. It always does. The momentary sacrifices, are just that, momentary. Even when eating food, I will occasionally get a momentary discomfort — wanting MORE, or wanting to eat whatever I want (when I want). I remind myself that once the craving passes, I am left with feeling light and energetic.…[Read more]

Love all my Cheerleaders! Funny thing — I’m cheering you right back!!!

Day 7: Bar Challenge – BRING IT ON!!

Plan: 1/2 bar 12-2pm for lunch; 1/2 bar 5-7pm for dinner — coffee, water and a diet beverage if I need. SF gum if needed.

Long bike ride today.

Want this vacay weight off fast and it’s happening.

Wow! You’re doing brilliantly – I’m shaking my Pom pins with dr Lewis too! Xxx

Great job !!

Finished day 6 w 1 bar. Resisted the Chinese food my boys were eating. It honestly was not even a consideration. Love when I get to this place where I know that cheating is not an option and not a risk. Feel fully in control and hunger has diminished!!

Bring on day 7!!

Let’s go!!

Finishing up a perfect day 6! So excited to almost have a week of success behind me.

Great job, Gayle! Like you, I am determined not to drop out. Lets do this! :cheer:

No worries. Dr Lewis and I have taked about going a few pounds lower. I don’t think I will be lower, actually.

Thank you so much, everyone! Your words are extremely encouraging to me!!

I’m so excited to be nearing the end of 6 perfect days. A full week will feel like such a milestone to me! As I pass that mark and gain momentum, it should seem easier to just keep going than to allow any slip that might slow me down. I do not intend to slow down!
