Activity

Sigh – I should have expected the insomnia. Every time I diet I have a hard time sleeping. I don’t have hunger pains, I’m just too mentally alert. No resting or digesting here! For now I will embrace the extra energy, knowing that it is temporary, and hope that I can get some extra work done.

Anyways! Back to work today. I had 1 bite of a Cos…[Read more]

I absolutely love that story, SJ!  And I love your frame of mind.  You are going to do very, very well, very, very quickly!!!  I just know it!!

Thanks for the encouragement, Allison! You are so sweet. Rooting for you also!

DAY 1 COMPLETE!

Today I surprisingly didn’t think about food at all. This morning I had a zero-sugar energy drink and then stayed busy doing chores and running errands. Right when I got home, my partner asked if I wanted to play golf with him and his friends. I…[Read more]

Thank you for posting!!  Keep up the good intentions!! It will happen!

Some updates from yesterday!

I had 5 bites of salmon for lunch. It was baked in a very sweet and crisp glaze. Then I went on a hike to see a waterfall. I made sure to stay very hydrated and had plenty of energy! We are preparing for a hiking trip in the Amazon this October.

Afterwards my friend wanted to eat Thai food for dinner. She doesn’t…[Read more]

-10 pounds this week leading into vacation! Hope everyone is doing great!

Allison

I am planning to be there tonight. I am on a roll with a modified pattern I discussed with Dr. Lewis.  I am feeling great!  I am looking forward to the discussion tonight!  I have reviewed many archived chats and gotten so much inspiration from you and others!

Allison

How are you??

restarting on bars for next three days and going to try to stick to bars unless I have a dinner engagement.

what’s your plan?

will you be on the call tonight? I will be there.

Thx Allison.

So sorry for your loss Gayle.  That is a big life changing situation. My heart goes out to you.

And congrats on your upcoming nuptials!  That is great motivation!

Allison

Yah! I look forward to “meeting” you Gayle!  I plan to be there.  I have made lemonade out of lemons this week!  I will share more on zoom!

You’re right Dr. Lewis. FAST & FURIOUS will be my mantra!!

Great.  But my big advice is: don’t slide into the finish line just in time.  It never works out as you had intended.  Instead, lose all 10/12 pounds FAST–within two or three weeks, and then hang out there until the wedding.  Telling yourself that you alway have more time to lose those last few pounds is a recipe for guaranteed dis…[Read more]

I’m coming back!! I really need to shed these 10 pounds. I have been chasing my tail again rather than just committing to what I know works.

Allison – I will be on the CHAT MONDAY!! Committing NOW!

Stay strong !!

Gayle

Great, GREAT job, Allison!!  I can’t wait for Monday!!!

I asked a similar question in the fb group.  When I first tried this, I would feel ok with 5 bites, then 20-30 minutes later I would get a primal hunger sensation.  All I can say is the body is fighting you, but if you stay strong – the feeling subsides in a short time.  Then you are fine until the next meal.  Same thing happened after second mea…[Read more]
