Activity

Instead of making 5 bites a dull process, I am trying to make it joyful 😀

Thanks for the positive comments.  Only lost 3 pounds this week, so…..

Back at it tomorrow.

Amen, Letileti!      It’s hard to get over the tendency to “clean your plate”, but my goodness, the standard American food portions are massive!   So let relish the opportunity to enjoy those first few bites, and the rest can go into the trash.

Right, Letileti!  I totally agree!  Eat spectacular and complex flavors, but just taste it.  Experience it.  Then toss it.  You get to repeat this fun process at every meal, the number of which is seemingly limitless given your now-longer-and-better life!  

Great!  I like that idea!

And, particularly the next few days, LOOK FORWARD to being hungry.  Make it a game–a challenge–to see just how much hunger your body can generate.  Try and become hungrier than you’ve ever been in your entire life!  Then note how the hunger comes and goes in waves, and how dramatically the amplitude of those waves fal…[Read more]

Well I’m back! Gained some weight and perspective. Trying to have a perfect week. Haven’t completed one yet. This time I’ve decided to stick with snickers bars for at least this first week.

Prayers for you Marie!! 💕

Great!  Then the challenge is set!  

I will echo everything above: my thoughts and prayers are with you, Marie!  

Thanks to both of you ladies. And both named Sharon.

Would love to get to 120 with you!! 

I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU MARIE AND THINKING OF YOU ON MONDAY, HUGE CONGRATULATIONS ON THE WEDDING AND FITTING INTO YOUR DRESS.  NOW AFER YOUR SURGERY , YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THOSE BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHS WHICH WILL MAKE YOU SMILE WITH JOY DURING YOUR RECOVERY XXX

Let your roommate eat COrey.  You will be the one fitting into your clothes and full of energy with a flat tummy at the end of this race.  YOu can do this Corey.  Always remember it is not hunger, just boredom and such a big habit with us all is to eat or snack after dinner to relax,  have a hot drink by you or some nice ice cold mineral water wit…[Read more]

Sooo exciting Susan what a wonderful feeling to be lighter for the Summer and to have your clothes fitting.  Well done, so very well done.  This is not an easy process and sticking with your goal is golden.  So happy you are back, and i am rooting for you.  I am 135 so am going to do this together with you until we both hit 120  .  Cheering you o…[Read more]

I’ll be taking a break from the forum for a while. My surgery is scheduled for Monday morning, Treatments will depend on what they find during surgery and after pathology results.

On the bright side the wedding was beautiful and I fit into my dress  

“The difference between this time and all the other times that you tried to lose weight is that this time you have control. You can lose weight as fast as you can gain, and that is the ultimate control.” – Dr. Lewis

Thank you, Dr. Lewis.  I sent my reply to your questions.  110.  I would never have imagined.  This is truly food for thought and what you said about the sixth bite..

– as a person who cannot shy from a challenge that I deem worthy – I can only say — I will try that.

Thank you.
