Activity

Sounds like a good plan.  Now focus on your right foot.  Carefully place it in front of the left foot.  Now concentrate on the left foot.  Carefully place it in front of the right.  Repeat … until you cross the finish line!  

I weighed in today and only lost 1 pound this week. I only got on the scale once about halfway through the week. I know I lost the pound somewhere between Thursday and Saturday. I then maintained my weight Saturday, Sunday and Monday as those were the days when I had a bunch of celebratory stuff going on …lots of food Temptations. I was really…[Read more]

Amy, It was a great exercise! I would recommend it to anyone here.

I picked my Top 20. There are so many more reasons to NOT take the extra bites. I feel like when I do take extra bites it has to be some sort of temporary insanity!!   

Right!!!  If you truly want to prevent heart attacks, strokes, kidney decline, memory loss, and CANCER, you have to shoot for a low BMI.  And there are so many other benefits of being there.  

Came back from vacation at exactly the same weight I was coming in! I was hoping to be down a little but that’s okay. I am another half lb down today at 172.5. This just goes to show how easily I could have gained weight as I would have eaten a lot more if I wasn’t counting bites.

Had some coffee this morning and think I’ll shoot for 10 bites for…[Read more]

Wow, I love this Susan!  I’ll be referring to your list often.  I’m going to make my own list soon and will be sure to share on here.  Busy day at work today and tomorrow.  But maybe by Friday I can take some time to really think of as many reasons as I can and jot them all down.  It will be a good exercise for me to do

“You have to start finding reasons to NOT eat the extra bites, instead of making excuses to take the extra bites.”  – Dr. Lewis

I heard this quote and made my list of reasons not to eat:

1. It is only temporary satisfaction.

2. It will make me  bloated, sleepy and depressed.

3. Four years ago,  I decided to stop this monster who was asking…[Read more]

That’s true doc! After all its just food and this is for my health and hopefully adds many more years of life onto my lifespan.  And good quality life at that.

Thanks a bunch Susan! It’s so nice to have people to do this with.  Glad you had a good weekend and happy to know you will be logging in a perfect day today!!!:):):)

Perfect day # 7 t…[Read more]

The carbon-rich drinks set you back a bit.  No biggy.  Just pick up today and follow the program perfectly.  Your hungerstat will reset really fast.  

Right, Amy!  What food, or amount of food, is better than the road you are on?!

Agreed!  Y’all ARE doing this!!!  

YES. YES. YES We can do this!

In fact looking at everyone’s weight loss WE ARE ACTUALLY DOING THIS.

WE ARE ACTUALLY DOING THIS!

Congratulations to all of us.

Well Done.

Awesome Amy! You are doing so great!! 

I can’t say I was perfect this weekend but I did ok.

I am going to jump back into the consecutive day challenge and at the end of the day I will call this Day #1!   

It was such a great weekend. Everything went very well. For Sunday brunch I had four bites of a linguica omelette, one bite of hash brown potatoes, and one bite of birthday cookie. ( My husband likes a big chocolate chip cookie cake instead of an actual birthday cake)  I also had a delicious mocha  coffee  and skipped my dinner bites because I th…[Read more]

Thanks doc! I’m determined.  No more set backs!!! I’m realizing just how beneficial it is doing bars only.  So I will switch back to that after the week of unleaved bread.  Perfect day #6 today. Snickers for lunch and Snickers for dinner again.
