Can y’all here my pom-poms rustling in the air?

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Good work, Polly, on find a better sense of control. BUT, let me ask you: what were the 10 bites? Did you have 10 different flavors? Do you remember all the flavors even today? Could you have gotten by with just 1 ice of each item of food?

I so enjoy your journaling, Michelle. Thanks for sharing. I can’t imagine losing a brother at such a young age. I am so sorry. But all the more reason to focus on you and your health. You cannot, in my opinion, perfect it fast enough. And I agree with Neil–persistence wins this race. Keep finding a way!

And since I’m here: the food…[Read more]

Great job, Neil! You’re are definitely getting the hang of this. The key, though, is to not lose focus. In the past you’ve allowed yourself to get distracted and to make too many alterations to the diet, which always leads people astray. You are doing great, but keep up the focus! You get to take a break when you are done losing weight.

It sounds like you guys are doing GREAT! I love it! :laugh:

Two bars today, a Quest bar and a Trail Mix bar. Hunger very much under control, now. The small amount of food is satisfying, and I can go about my business in comfort. I won’t be weighing myself again until Tuesday, as I don’t want to be discouraged by any negative results. Been down that road too many times! Best wishes to all!

You are doing an amazing job with this,smaro! Keep pressing on!! :cheer:

Another perfect 2-Snickers day.
Today was easier than yesterday, I was hungry but not too much.
My oldest daughter (6yo) was wondering why I bought so many Snickers at supermarket today… I told her a little lie, that they were treats for some students in my school :laugh:

LOL :laugh:

My Current Plan is:
3 meals of 5 bites each, resulting in the volume of each meal totaling about ¼ cup

Day 2 – OK – but mixed bag
In the end as a big guy – I was in control 90% of the day – did good leaving food on the plate and was down in weight this AM – but I pledge to not beat
myself up and resolve to be as PERFECT as possible today.

Day 5 of my BAR CHALLENGE!

Already feel like I’m very close to my low end of maintenance. Going to press on as I promised until April 28th. I am hosting a challenge and others are depending on me. Trying to remember that I a link in a chain. It’s also very important for me to FINISH what I’ve started. Maybe I will even reach 114/115.

Hi Michelle-

I am so sorry about your brother. I had a patient with a Glioblastoma and it was quite tragic for her and her whole family (me too!). She was too young also. So unfair.

Life can definitely be challenging and those challenges can sometimes hit us when unexpected. We all slip. Difference is, when we get up right away, little damage is…[Read more]

Looks like you’re making great progress Neil! Keep it going. Push through the cravings a bit more each day to get optimal results. It’s so hard, I know. At the same time, I notice that when I start to take a nibble more one day it can give me license to nibble a bit more the next day. You’re doing great. For me, I know that fast and furious is the…[Read more]

Day 3: 212,8
0,8 lbs down since yesterday ( That’s 2 lbs in 2 days total)

Ate a Snickers bar at 10.30 in the morning with my supplements and filtered coffee with sweetener.

I won’t eat the second bar before 20.00.Yesterday I made the mistake to have my last meal too early (lunch) and I had mild insomnia all night. :ohmy:

This “cholent” looks yummy. Congratulations on not finishing the whole thing! When I like something very much and don’t want to throw it in the trash, I pack it with me for my next meal…

I’m really sorry for your brother and your mother…
They say that the dead can hear you when you think about them and their soul can feel your love. I am absolutely sure this is true….
You might be better eating 10 + 10 bites during these first days. It is satisfying, you get through social gatherings without anyone noticing that you diet, and…[Read more]

So true

Thank you

Neil
