Good morning!

It was a struggle to stay off the scale this morning after a perfect day yesterday, but I want to FEEL the weight loss before I step on the scale next Wednesday.  Too many times I let that number mess with my head, good or bad.

My husband asked me last night what I had for supper, so I told him a Snickers bar.  We have very d…[Read more]

I have no doubt you’ll succeed with your goal by Christmas – you are very strong mentally.  (I’ve been here on and off over the years and have read your journals!)  I’m so sorry it’s been a rough year – I think we would all like to scrap 2020 for many reasons.

Awwwh thank you Neil well I had to weigh in this morning which I dread the scale when I haven’t been on it in such a long time.
soooooooo …….. 134.5 is my starting weight as of today. I have 14.5 pounds to lose before Christmas. I am challenging myself and Dr Lewis to lose this weight in two weeks time. Certainly for Christmas.
I am so m…[Read more]

I have had a great day 1 too , snickers for lunch and lemon protein bar for dinner. Tea, coffee and water for drinks during the day. I didn’t have the staff lunch today which was chick fil a burgers and fries. Didn’t interest me at all. I was not tempted one bite. Couldn’t wait to eat my snickers bar. Ate it and was over and moved on. Love love…[Read more]

That’s funny my wife made fried chicken in the middle of the day yesterday – very strong smell. Usually it would mean several pieces for me. Even with the smell I ate nothing but my Snickers equivalent. If we are really confident the smell means nothing. Keep up the good work.

Oh my gosh Neil fantastic , superb, incredible , wonderful , magical. Soooooooooo excoted for you. Well done.

Woo hoo – finished fourth day – third day of just Snickers equivalents – down another 2.4 pounds !

Well done Rachel. You are doing amazing xxx

My day 1 is done as well! Perfect 2 bar day – it’s going to be hard not to weigh in tomorrow.

<p style=”text-align: center;”>Day 1/3 of Bar Challenge done!!</p>

BRILLIANT, Neil!  You are starting off with a BANG!  Brilliant!

Success is dictated, in large part, by our state of mind.  You’ve got that now, and success will be all yours!

Yes indeed, Amy!  And I truly hope that this time around you find the answers that keep temptation away.  The temptations are going anywhere, so we have to adjust how we respond to them emotionally and physically.  But you absolutely can win this battle.  And once we’re done, we’re done!!   Welcome back!!

I love the feeling and the camaraderie here.  I’m so excited for you all!  Let’s do this!!

Great loss – keep sprinting to that finish line!

Thanks for stopping by my post – how wonderful to have such a large family!  I had always wanted a large family, but it was not in the cards for me.  I believe my weight kept me from getting pregnant, and I finally had IVF 8 years ago.  Now, I feel like I can only handle the one child, and she cl…[Read more]

Wow – reading before bedtime brings back such good memories ( I have 5 daughters and one son – now 19 grandchildren ! ) it is so nice when kids are young and you can bond with them reading. It’s worth getting on the zoom call even in progress. Even though I have heard it so many times before – hearing the Doctor’s confidence and answers helps me…[Read more]

Great work – it seems like you are executing a good plan to deal with stress in a more effective way than eating.

What is nice about five bite is that if you slip up a little you can still lose weight.

You are doing great.

Yesterday was a little harder for me. I nearly had a perfect day!  So close! It was just a little bit of anxiety kicking in about my final exam, and worrying about if it was enough to pass the class.  I had to meditate a few times, and take a hot bath at lunch.  Finally I accepted that I may not pass the class, and best to get pr…[Read more]
