This is how I live now lol. excited to weigh in at the end of the week!

Thank you!!!

I’m glad to be able to check in here and be encouraged!

Day 15 was perfect!

I was feeling a little sick this morning, maybe the beginning of a cold? But I rested and feel much better now! I’m still wanting to eat everything, but that’s ok. I won’t do it!

For lunch, I ate 4 bites of spaghetti and 1 bite of cookie.

And another day through.

Good job, Skinny.  Whatever your pace of weight loss is, it is!  The point is that as long as you are moving forward, you WILL cross that finish line at some point.  Yes, it might take awhile, so just focus on the process.  Focus on how much [fun!] it is to BE ABLE to stop after just 5 bites!  I can recall that when I was losing weight myself I wo…[Read more]

You beat your record!! Thats awesome and motivating!! 4 pounds is alot compared to other diets that tell us to aim for 1-2 pounds a week! Great Job!!

Thanks so much!!

Wow! 14 days perfect is awesome. I am aiming for this week

It’s so helpful to hear how you tackle each meal. I really liked how you focus on the reality of additional bites hindering you from using the fat reserves. I need to remind myself of that when I’m tempted to take an extra bite!

Thanks Dr Lewis!

I weighed 211.0 this morning. That’s 4.6 lbs lost. I was hoping for more, but hey, what other diet do you expect to lose MORE than 4 lbs a week??

So I’m thankful for what I did lose!

I hope you all have a great day!

Here’s to a big weight-loss week, as I raise my cup ‘o joe!

Great insights!!

Right, BK!  Sort of what Chloe and I talked about tonight.  Good luck just throwing everything away after that 5th bite.  The reality is that you are not being forced at gunpoint to eat that sixth bite.  There’s no constitutional law that states you have to.  You just have to find a way to break all habitual chains tying your to food and set your…[Read more]

Great job, Dana!!

Day 14= Perfect!

I beat my record of perfect days in a row today!

And tomorrow I get to weigh in! I’m excited.

Today was ok, I still struggled with wanting to eat but right now I feel satisfied from supper.

For lunch I had 5 bites of a Clif bar.

For supper I had 5 bites off my plate of spaghetti and sides.

I’m looking…[Read more]

Thanks! yes I’m already feeling a lot better about the whole project thus far being on track these last 3 days. It just took a little cognitive adjustment. Here’s what helped me refocus my efforts:

I make sure to start up a pot of coffee before I have a meal and I set out a large glass of water

I make up my plate of food slowly and…[Read more]

Well I’ve been sick and tired and not willing to make weight loss a priority. I am now paying for that in being back to my highest weight! Back on track today and going to be laser focused. It’s hard to know I’ve been trying to stay on track for over 20 weeks without success. But I’m realizing more and more how much this roller coaster isn’t w…[Read more]

Yay Dana!!! 6 pounds is awesome!

I hope you get feeling better! Back pain is not very fun.

Great job sticking to it!

I hope you have a great week too!

I’m really struggling the past couple days with wanting to eat. It’s hard to be perfect some days, but it’s SO worth it when I weigh in!

Today I had to tell myself: the extra bites might taste and feel good right when I eat them, but then I’ll feel bad right afterward, and NOT eating them will feel 1000+ times better when I stick to it…[Read more]

You’re welcome Dana! I’m glad you liked the peppermint bar, I’ll have to get some more!

Day 13= Perfect!

Ugh, I wanted to cheat terribly bad today! But I didn’t!

For lunch I had 5 bites of a PB Clif bar.

Supper was 4 bites out of my bowl that had ham and beans, cornbread, and salad; and 1 bite of a cinnamon donut. Mmm!

We played…[Read more]

I weighed in up 1/2 a lb unfortunately this week. Extra bites and extra big bites, no excuses about it. Have been on track the last two days, taking small bites and not more than 5. Already 2 lbs down from that. I’ve been reminding myself that the food is just for the hunger pangs at mealtime and the taste which I don’t need extra big…[Read more]
