Here you can see the bumping around, and what the snickers did to my bmi chart:

Hi Alaska Gal!

For my sprint I ate 1/4 of a snickers bar twice a day. I started on March 9th, after ten days of eating too much, then eating less, repeat repeat. My weight was bumping around.

March 9th 122.6 lbs.

March 10th 120.8 lbs

March 11th 118.4 lbs

March 12th 117 lbs

March 13th 115.5 lbs

So that’s how I got back to my goal weight and…[Read more]

Hi Alaska Gal!

Yes, a teaspoon (5 ml) is what I’ve found works the best for my bite size. It’s small enough that it doesn’t spark hunger, and at the same time, the taste of the food is there all the same. For snickers, the 50 gram bar here equals 40 ml. In my last sprint to my goal I had 1/4 of a bar per meal. That was 2 bites, meaning 2…[Read more]

JT- Your bite is a teaspoon not a tablespoon?

Oh! That’s what did it huh?

Could you explain a little more for me please?

Take 1 week? Can you share an example for me of what 1 week looked like when you did that & then What did your weightloss look like that week?

Also? How did you tackle socials like going to a restaurant & or a social at friends or family house for dinner? Would you get 5…[Read more]

My pleasure, Allison!

Today my weight was the same as yesterday: 50.2 kg / 110.7 lbs / 16.8 bmi.

I feel more in control now of the bites and weight equation. If I gain more weight than I’d like, I can reduce my number of bites. If I lose more weight than I’d like, I can add more bites to my meals. I have snickers to use if I need to quickly slim…[Read more]

Hi Alaska Gal!

If you want to, you can get to the finish line quickly, using a bite or two of snickers per meal – that’s how I got to the finish line quickly. That’s if you want to sprint!

Thank you so much!!

I posted my starting pic of the day I rejoined slimming station (pending moderator approval), and I am so glad that most days I forget how far off I had gotten.  And I had already lost about 30 pounds before that.  Congrats on making so much progress and especially on forgetting your top weight!!!!  That is a great thing haha.  But als…[Read more]

So great to see!!! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you Allison! And thank you Dr. Lewis and Alska Gal for the shout-out in the video chat!

Somehow, with all of my mishaps along the way, I’m here now maintaining. It must be the one foot in front of the other, and coming back to the five bites again and again. And a snickers is a powerful slimming tool.

Actually, my weight is still going…[Read more]

Jane, thank you for your inspiring post. Congratulations on Maintenance.

Great job Allison!

🙌

Maybe.  I’m not sure.  I’ll ask.

Dr Lewis – can your tech guy fix her starting weight?

Hi Adenike!

You are finding out what works for you and what doesn’t. That’s good!

In social situations, you can ask for a box and take the rest of the food home, to the delight of other people.

If you take smaller bites, you will be most likely feel smaller hunger.

Eating more stimulates hunger more, in my experience.

One foot in front of the…[Read more]

I lost 9 pounds last week. Which is great but, I wanted to do better. I did get some more advice on the amount I’m eating and I realized my bites are not small enough. So I will try again this week with smaller bites. Also on the Saturdays I eat good food with people so I feel more pressure to eat not just because people are watching ( because I t…[Read more]

Hi there everyone!

For my second meal I had an encore of my first, this time with a dollop of red relish instead of ketchup.

I appreciated the meal!

All the best until next time.
