Thank you!

I am on Day 5 of my reset:

SW 176

CW 168

Slowed to 1lb a day. Need to cut the creamer and diet sodas out.

Hola Skinny,

Mexico is wonderful. We go to all different areas but I love Cozumel the most!! My husband speaks pretty fluent Spanish, I do not. Most of the places we go, the people speak some degree of English.

I hope you don’t mind if I point out some things that stand out to me in your posts. I just want to give you some advice that I truly h…[Read more]

Another NSV story:

I went to a thrift shop and found the “clearance rack”. There was a brand new pair of GAP black skinny jeans Size 0. Tags still on them!  They were only $1.00!! I tried them on and they fit very well! I thought,  I must be missing something ?? Why are these only  $1.00?? Is there a hole in them or something??

I asked the ow…[Read more]

Skinny,

My starting weight was 250. I am now 123. You can and will do this! I know you can and when you do you will be sooo happy! Actually, happy doesn’t even begin to describe how this feels!!

It is amazing as you lose weight and your body mass decreases you become so much more comfortable in every day situations. Like you mentioned you just t…[Read more]

Today was crazy. I started out with great intentions and ended up just eating a lot by evening.

I didn’t go as overboard as Thanksgiving, or eat as much as before I started dieting. But more than I planned on. There is NOTHING planned tomorrow, it’s bad weather. So it is a perfect day for a Snickers only day! That’s what I’m going to…[Read more]

That is wonderful, Rachel!!!

Sorry I have been absent again. I needed to work on something that has been my nemesis for weight loss for many years. Wine. I was drinking 2-4 glasses a day, and occasionally more on weekends, due to stress. So I started on an alcohol free challenge for 30 days. I am on day 18.  🎉🎉🎉 It has been a lot easier than I thought, and it has made me…[Read more]

The benefits are just beginning.

Susan, how was Mexico? Did you learn any Spanish before you went? I have always wanted to visit, a few ladies in my church are from Tlaxcala. We have a ‘sister’ church there, so maybe someday I will get to go. But it’s currently out of the question!

I know that Tlaxcala is in the mainland, so I imagine that near the coast would be quite…[Read more]

I haven’t lost a LOT yet- but here’s a story!

I used to always have to worry about my belly sticking out, but it doesn’t look that noticeable now! Yesterday I kept asking my mom if my coat was too tight, and then I saw my reflection in a widow and realized that I’m smaller than I thought! My brain still thinks I stick out…[Read more]

Today was probably worse than yesterday. It was my sister’s bday celebration so I ate 14 bites of food total, plus a whole scoop of icecream and quite a few extra spoons of hot sauce because I was really hungry. I also VERY SERIOUSLY considered a slice of pizza. But I AM going to stay strong! No more! The rest of this evening I WILL be…[Read more]

I love all of the odd ball flavors of coffee and mixing them. Today I had Bananas Foster and Island Coconut. Made me feel like I was back in Mexico!

Day 3:

I drank 4 cups of coffee, and one energy drink today.

Lunch was an Almond Snickers.

Supper was 4 bites of a Snickers, and then I was planning to eat one bite of pizza that I made. But I ended up going for a drive with my mom and we got an order of jalapeno bites to share. I ate a whole piece, which is actually a 2 bite volume. Then I…[Read more]

I like the French Vanilla too!  But my favorite is simply “Columbian.”

Right.  I agree with everything above.  Also think of this:

At any moment in time, like right now, the hunger is only as bad as it is.  Relatively speaking, it’s just not that bad.  You’ve been through much worse pain in your life.  So, for now, focus on the pain.  Focus on everything about it: its location in your stomach, its size, its color…[Read more]

This is hard Wynona, but it’s fast! It just seems to me the first few days are the hardest. We’re all here in this together. Skinny offered some great advice.  When I mess up- I just start over RIGHT then. No need waiting until tomorrow or Monday.

Good morning everyone!

How’s your morning going?

I’m making my first cup of coffee so far today as I write this. Dr Lewis recommended I look into a Keurig a while ago, because he likes that you can have a new flavor experience with each cup of coffee.

So my family bought a cheaper style of Keurig. It was only $20! We really like it!…[Read more]

Lol!

Today was perfect! or should I say, purrfect

Lunch was a warmed up almond Snickers.

Supper was the same.

I drank 3? 4? Mugs of coffee, 2 mugs of hot tea with one Splenda each, and a big glass of water. I also had a multivitamin.

It was SO hard to wait until 6 for supper! We usually eat anywhere from 4 to 6, but mostly…[Read more]
