Activity

You can do it! Definitely stay accountable with your weight. Love the idea of taking some time in the morning to mentally reset. Write cards or stickies and post them on fridge, food cupboards or have pop-up reminders to encourage you to stay on track. Tell yourself that you WILL STICK TO YOUR GOAL NO MATTER WHAT!!

It is true that it is so much…[Read more]

Thanks everyone!

Love the new emotional mind set and plan. You will succeed and those anxiety attacks will dwindle. Are you going to try bars only for a while?

Yes! They are! Excited to tackle today after yesterday’s chat session. Dr Lewis had great advice about the 4th…it would be a funny story, to sit around eating a snickers bar while everyone is eating bbq this-and-that.

And maybe the best birthday present I could give myself this week (Thursday) is a day not centered around food. Need to think…[Read more]

Great job Corey!

It can cause an eating obsession. I quit stepping on the scale
Just working on my head.

Congratulations, Gayle!! And thank you for sharing and inspiring the rest of us!!

Nice to meet you last night! Dr. Lewis was very motivating, wasn’t he?!

I’m amazed by how similar our stats are. We might finish our journey around the same time!

Hope you have a great 5-bite 4th of July!! :cheer:

Nice to meet you last night, Corey. You are doing GREAT!! :cheer:

Great job, Letileti! :cheer:

Day 2 of reset:
152.0

Hard to believe I’m 5 pounds lighter this morning! I think I’ll have a nice big first-week loss to encourage me and get me going strong again.

Can’t wait to have some momentum behind me! I think that’s what really helps me. Once I’m on a winning streak, I’m determined not to blow it. But during the first week, I don’t…[Read more]

Lunch. 5 bites of pasta and ricotta

Such a motivating chat tonight! I feel so ready to lose big this week!!

In keeping with my commitment to honesty (no more denial!), I just updated my weight tracker. I guessed on the last 4 weeks and brought my weight up to 157 for today. (I want the weight tracker to reflect the actual time I’ve been on the slimming station. I have to face…[Read more]

Thank you! And good job jumping right up after yesterday!!

I’m still hoping to make the chat. And I’m still on track for the day! :cheer:

I’m about to have supper- a challenging time for me. Yes, I can! Yes, I can! Yes, I can!

:woohoo:

Wowwwww Corey!

You DID it!!!!!

You are completely right! There is always a good reason to eat too much.

Dinner: 3 PERFECT bites of lentils soup and 2 of spaghetti and shrimps.

The thing is, there is ALWAYS another reason to eat too much. Another holiday, birthday, family reunion, etc. A few a week. And you won’t remember the extra bites you eat on the Fourth a few days later, so DON”T.

But, if just can’t stick to 5 bites during these festive times (I would argue that sticking to five bites makes the occasion even…[Read more]

Lost 8 pounds this week! The ticker isn’t giving me my extra pound….
Good week last week and looking forward to a better week coming!

Good ideas! And great job getting on that scale. I fell off plan yesterday and had to force myself to weigh in today as well. I will try to call into the chat too…would be great to meet you and the others. And to hear more about these strategies you come up with. I am going to try more yoga and meditation. And maybe brushing my teeth when I’m hungry.
