I think a lot of us are in the same boat, LessIsMore.  I initially lost 36 pounds but I’m back because I gained 16 lbs after I left.  I also never initially reached my goal weight the first time. You can do this!  This approach really does work.  Welcome back and I hope this first week goes smoothly for you.

Thank you guys! I will re-read the book.

I’m looking forward to that day too! Thank you Dr Lewis!

Sounds really good.  Great job, Poppycat!!

I totally agree you guys!!!

Thanks for reminding us all, Poppycat!  But the book is there for a reason.  PLEASE re-read it to fully get your head back in the game.

The key, Rebekah, is to create more good days than bad days.  But also remember this:  All of those good days add up, and you wouldn’t be where you are today if you had eaten anything extra on those good days.  So every bit of that hard work has paid off.  Every time you eat less it counts: you will be lighter tomorrow as a result, and it will for…[Read more]

Congratulations on your 6 pounds!  And I think you’ve got a great game-plan going forward!

Yes just completed three days of snickers and feel so much better have kept really busy. Also have started drinking warm water first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Kills the appetite too if you are hungry. Prepared for the weekend

Exactly BK , summer is right around the corner. Now is our time to conquer and reveal our skinny bodies healthy and energized for those gorgeous summer months ahead. To not be obsessed with eating and food and just be. It will be amazing

Yes you can so do this SK. I have just had three days of snickers and it feels good to wake up in the morning knowing that a good day behind you makes you stronger

focus, read the book, bubble baths. Read books,  and organize and tidy. Once the week is over you will feel so amazing xxx good luck SK xx

Thank you all! I’ve been busy this week picking blackberries and helping my husband get the garden in. I’ll weigh Monday and see what I’ve lost. I’ve had good days and bad days. The support here is priceless. Thank you all so much!

Six pounds is great! Sounds like you’ve got this on lockdown now. I am also working on removing myself from temptation and finding something else that brings me comfort! Keep up the great progress!

Thanks Maria!

I want to thank everyone again for all of the support and encouragement.  I’ve decided to only update this thread once per week for now since I’m hopefully done with the worst of it.  The first week is so hard.  Not that the hunger ever really goes away for me, but it does get easier to manage.

It’s been a good week, and I lost 6 lbs!

Hi Poppycat.  I hope it’s continuing to go well and your hunger stat is resetting easily.   Same here about staying busy, I’m finding it helps so much.  Wishing you the best for today and the rest of the week!

Hi Rebekah.  I hope the first few days have gone well for you.  Wishing you the best and hoping you are past the worst of it now hunger-wise.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>That is great news, Bk!  Glad to hear it’s going well.  I’m finding the same thing about staying busy.  It helps so much.  Keep it going, you are doing great!</p>

You can do this, sk!  It’s true what Dr. Lewis said about hunger being an inevitable part of this.  But know that you aren’t alone.  Sending you lots of positivity and encouragement.
