Be really careful Dana:  Those “Skinny” Lattes are anything but.   They are riddled with carbon.  PLEASE keep your coffee black.

I DID IT!!!

I was perfect! It’s so nice to know that I can do the 5bd even on a long, social, food-centered day!

We ate pizza for lunch. I ate 5 bites.

For supper they made a special meal of tacos from the fresh meat, and I didn’t want to be ‘picky’ or rude so I took slightly bigger bites than usual and finished my whole…[Read more]

Good job Dana!!!

It’s hard to conquer that negative inner voice. I’m so glad that you were able to be strong and prove it wrong!

And it’s hard to make dinner during the first days! Congratulations on being so perfect!!!

I hope you have a really good day tomorrow. I hope you will get over the little hump…[Read more]

Keep up the good work Chloe! You are doing really great!

I think you’re right, it has to be just water fluctuation. I didn’t know that only 1/2 tsp salt could make that much of a difference! Wow!

Who knows? You might get a “whoosh” this week, and weigh 137 next week! Or close to it!

Nightly Checkin

Physically:

Lunch: 5 bites of ham croissant and half cup of pumpkin spice latte, met with a naturally thin friend and she supported my journey, she chose to sit and not eat!

Dinner: I made spaghetti and salad for my family; I had 5 bites of spaghetti with meat sauce and a sugar free peppermint tea

Now headed to the movies with…[Read more]

Thanks! Determined and eager to keep going this time around

Indeed, Dana.  It’s almost impossible to do this journey alone.  But we are all in this together, and together we will all get the most out of our potential!  Your journey has started.  EXTRA food is good, tastes good, and is fun, but then what does it leave you with?  Nothing but excess fat.  SO, for now, stay focused on the finish line.  Enjo…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: center;”>Great Job! Congrats!! Looks like you have lost almost 40 pounds, Im so inspired</p>

Day 59

welp 147 today, was hoping at least 145 since I was 146 on wednesday. This has got to be water fluctuations doing their thing. I just learned  that something like 1/2 a tsp of salt can make for 6 lbs of water weight which will eventually flush out with more water consumption throughout the day/week. So if it’s possible to have that much…[Read more]

Thank you Dana! I’m packing some instant coffee and 10 calorie energy drink packets. Thanks for encouraging me! Yes, I want to keep it going!

<p style=”text-align: center;”>Thanks so much i have been following your daily Challenges and Victories, congrats on all the perfect days in a row, thats huge!!!!this journey is easier when we dont go at it alone, Today we will succeed!</p>

Morning!! Your perfect days in a row have inspired me so much!  Makes me feel like i can do it too!! You got this!!  Last time i was on this diet i remember taking black coffee to my sisters party and it kept my appetite in check, cheering for you!

Well, here is day 5! I’m GOING to stay strong, no matter what. I KNOW that I don’t need to eat any extra, because as Dr Lewis said in one of his chats, as long as I have ANY extra fat that my body will be just fine!

I’m going to expect and believe that I’ll feel amazing!

Go Dana!!! You can do this! I’m so excited for you! You will be amazing.

Something is coming up tomorrow: I just found out that we are going to get together with some other families to butcher pigs tomorrow.

I really don’t want to go off plan! I’m not so worried about the social aspect; I’m just kind of worried that I’ll feel low and succumb to eating from all the pressure and from working at the same time. :worried:…[Read more]

Yay! I’m so excited to see what you’ve lost!

Day 58

Still going, weighing in tomorrow!

Nice, you’re getting over that initial hump. I took it easy on exercise at first and just relaxed my way through the first few weeks only training when I felt comfortable enough to. Maybe that’ll work for you too! everyone is different though, good luck!
