Dr. Lewis said diet drinks not great – he said if I have to have one – try to limit to one a day.

Hi Rachel,

I remember you from before. Good to see you on here. I can’t wait to finally be at my goal.

welcome back

Thank you Dr Lewis and Allison!
I will check out the 5 hour energy drink for sure! The tropical sounds good!
I usually have a Diet Coke or two a day. Is that ok?

Update: today is day 3
I had an iced coffee from dunkin with Splenda
And 2 creams. My only mess up so far. But the prior 2 days were perfect and I’m already down almost 5 lbs.…[Read more]

Congratulations Allison!
This is such an inspiration!

Awesome!!!!!

Yes! great job Matt.  You set a goal for the week, and made it happen.  Looking forward to seeing more success posts from you this week.  Keep up the great work!

@Allison – That is so necessary to me. I have to enjoy what I am eating. If not, I just don’t think I could do it. Set yourself for success is the way I see it, and to do that, you have to want to do it. Sure there are “why’s” and “goals”, but it’s also about the little things that push you on an hourly, daily and weekly basis. For me, I start…[Read more]

Sheryl, I cannot drink coffee. When I went to buy the 5hr energy drinks (based on Dr. Lewis’ advice as an alternative), I was like uh oh – no flavors I can drink (I am a picky eater – and cannot eat many things normal people can, like grape or berry flavor).

I am very excited! After toying around for 5 years going up and down the same few pounds [on slow and steady type of plan(s)], I am ecstatic to be seeing numbers from 10 years ago!! I am trying to think of it as a challenge, which makes things more fun.

Sheryl — there are other caffeine options.  Have you tried 5-hour energy?  There are some water products sold that contain 100 mg caffeine (the equivalent of a cup of coffee) and there is caffeinated gum.  I like these ideas more than, say, a diet energy drink (like diet Red Bull), but that might be a last resort.  Some caffeine is better than none.

Right, BK.  You give yourself one concession, you are opening the door for many more extra concessions to come.  It’s IS a slippery slope.  So you are better off not going there.  PLUS, eating an exact five bites really is more filling than eating extra bites of anything.  It perfectly satisfies your mental hunger.

Great, great job, Allison!  This is exciting, no?  Might you even agree … FUN?!

Great job guys!

Thank you!! I am happy to be here! Looking forward to the Monday chat!
