Activity

I love the weekly meetings.  Unfortunately I have Monday classes right now that conflict.  I will watch the recordings though, and stay active here.

Meet with us tonight!  It starts in a few minutes.  

You can totally do this!  Snicker bars are cheap, and we can help support you.  Keep checking in here with us!  ❤️

Congrats on the loss!  That’s wonderful! 😁

I hope you did well on your bars today.  I’m on real food now, but I thought I would do bars tonight.  I get my cravings when I feel week.  Which is about now.  Ha!  But Dr. Lewis said to just give it 15 minutes, so I’m waiting it out.

Good for you Mel!! Maintenance of weight loss requires lifelong vigilance. We know this. There are some tough days and easy days. Today was met with lots of food thoughts. When I get up early – I feel much more of a propensity for food cravings. On these types of days I try to activate my higher brain and remind myself that giving in to the…[Read more]

Day 3:

Down a pound. I feel like something salty. Ignoring the craving. It will pass. Staying busy is the solution.

I have a party tomorrow. Going to exercise my 5 B muscle. Planning on bar day for sunday.

Next Friday I am away on a mini-vacay. I need to keep it tight to prepare for that.

Have a great day everyone!

I lost 2 pounds more with the bars.  Simple math baffles me at times. Hunger and cravings are manageable.  Though today when opening a new bag of treats for the dogs, I realized they were just cheese dusted popcorn cakes and I was suddenly catapulted into daydream of me digging into a bottomless Costco sized bag of popcorn cakes, and th…[Read more]

I’ve been on it for a total of 5 weeks including the 0 week.

Probably.  Week 0 is your starting weight.  Week 1 is your weight after the first week, etc.  So, you’ve been on the diet for 4 weeks?

That’s great Dr. Lewis…the fun is in riding it out and seeing the scale drop!!!  I love it!

How cool you just got a beach shower curtain, Mel!  It’s a sign, LOL! And a big round of applause  to racing past your hubby! You are doing amazingly well!

Gayle, funny you should mention Dopamine Nation…it’s on my reading list. How cool is that???  I…[Read more]

Will do!  I use to be sad that I couldn’t fit into HIS jeans anymore, let alone mine.  Now he will be eyeing my jeans with envy, wishing HE could wear THEM!  Count them bites Hubby and keep dreaming, Hubby!

That’s a wonderful comparison!  You are a poetic soul, Carmel.  It does help to know we are all on this beach together.  So let’s have sun in the sun!

And it’s funny you mentioned the beach.  My beach themed shower curtain from Amazon just arrived a few minutes ago.  Lol

No worries, I don’t have any Twinkies in my house anyway.  I meant that the weight tracker makes me so frustrated that I want to break into someone else’s house and force THEM to eat a box of half eaten twinkies!

The weight is correct.  As of today I weigh 173.  It’s the weekly waits that don’t remain correct no matter what I do.  I’ve foll…[Read more]

I so agree with all this Carmel!

We inspire each other!! NO WAY ARE YOU ALONE!!

We are a LEAN, so not mean community of unstoppable people.

Something you wrote in a former post led me down a path of understanding Dopamine and how it motivates us to want more and more. Don’t have time to write about it as I have clients that await me. I…[Read more]

Indeed!  Hunger comes and goes in waves.  Just like surfing, try and catch that wave at its peak (knowing that you are breaking down a ton of fat, or getting a great work out in), and then ride that wave to the bottom (the fun part, as the hunger wanes and the scale drops).  Let’s go surfing, everyone!!

No!  Don’t do that!

What part of the tracker are you having a hard time with?  Is your current weight not 173?  Are you not down 24 pounds?
