Activity

I am so tired of “dieting” and dieted myself up to this weight.

36 and 37

So far so good! Down to 154 lbs now, just a little farther and I’m back to my lowest weight I’ve been. Just need patience above all things. Keeping busy reading and studying. I actually have quite a lot of energy during the day especially.

I stuck to bars yesterday. Breakfast was a large black coffee with a few pumps of sugarfree Almond Rocca syrup. Lunch was a lemon delight ThinkThin bar with a Coke Zero. Dinner was a chocolate fudge ThinkThin bar with a diet root beer. Had my my gummy vitamins as a treat just before bed.

This morning I weighed in down just over 5 pounds from last…[Read more]

Welcome back, Katie!  This is the place to get ‘er done!  Go through the forum and recent chats.  I REALLY want to see you all the way through to the finish line this time, OK?  I know that, if I can help see you cross that finish line, you will stick there forever!

Yesterday I had black coffee for breakfast, 5 bites of a beef taco with a diet Coke for lunch, and dinner was 2 oz bag of wasabi flavored almonds with a diet Sunkist. Today’s menu is bars only.

I am too!

Great!

Days 34 and 35

Still going, excited for weigh in tomorrow

Thanks, Chloe. That’s good advice. I’ll take you up on that, because I was doing really well with managing cravings when I allowed myself diet drinks, but trying to cut them out entirely last week may have been too strict.

Today’s menu was black coffee for breakfast, 5 bites of a turkey club sandwich and a diet Coke for lunch, and 5 more bites of…[Read more]

Brilliant!

Heck yeah Becca, keep it going! if it’s drinks that tempt you just remember it’s the taste you’re looking for, not the extra carbon, so go for the diet stuff if it is so compelling. Also it’s possible to become fairly disenchanted even for diet stuff, to the point where just water will do, but it’s good to take down the cravings and temptations in…[Read more]

Ha  I know, it is so different this time. I think it all started with the strong resolve to “not freak out” and I’ve done all the things that help me stay calm and just be patient.

Thank you! Dinner yesterday was another ThinkThin bar and I went to bed a bit early to avoid further temptation.

Today’s meals were black coffee for breakfast, 5 bites of a cheeseburger with a diet Coke for lunch (threw the rest away), and a ThinkThin protein bar for dinner along with my vitamins for dinner. Getting back on track.

Yay!  I don’t know what clicked this time around, but something has.  You’ve absolute got it!  I love it!!!

Day 32 and 33

still moving right along, keeping my schedule, keeping it going!

Great!  You just did it!  You took that first and all-important step: you executed your meal perfectly.  Once you do it once, it’s a lot easier to do again, and again, etc.

When someone finally decides to undertake this extraordinary journey, their very next meal is the key.  Concentrate and eat only 5 bites.  Water and coffee.  Then throw every…[Read more]

I’m in week 5 now. Lost another 4 pounds last week, but I wasn’t perfect with the diet. I had a couple nights out with friends and allowed myself a “low cal” drink each time. And of course since I cheated then, suddenly some cream in my coffee didn’t seem that bad. I know that carbon in drinks is just as bad as extra bites, so I’m not…[Read more]

Extremely!  You have learned to truly appreciate food and the flavor of it.  Frankly, that’s what eating is all about.
