Thank you Dr. Lewis! 😁

I get it!  I failed big the next two times I tried the plan and then walked away from it.  I stayed unhealthy.  I stayed unhappy with myself.  I continued to use food to medicate the stress away.  I’m only five days in, but I’m seeing the transformation already.  I feel less stressed and I feel hopeful again.  Try to get that momentum going, and…[Read more]

It is Sunday here in Australia and even this morning I have eaten off plan. I also weighed in and I am basically starting again 🤦🏼‍♀️ I need to make a decision about what is more important. Eating the food I continue to eat or losing this weight. It really is that simple.

Great news and very good to hear from you Dr Lewis

Indeed, Samantha!   You are right back on track.  You have to admit: it felt amazing to be all the way thin, didn’t it?  Is that why you are back here?  OK, losing weight might seem like an annoyance, but the end result is so spectacular that you’ll do whatever to get back there.  Am I right?

Thank you all.  The Malibu fires are burning across the valley, and we could see the flames easily last night, but they are still 10 miles away.  The Alta Dena fire behind us is not a threat.  So while the air is ashy, there is no concern that my house will be lost, thankfully.  Thank you all for your concern.

M.T.  What you are feeling is fairly common, but be rest assured it DOES go away completely.  Be sure you are drinking plenty of water, and if you can tolerate it, coffee.  Also, you might add electrolytes to your water until this feeling passes–or drink electrolyte-infused water.  This should help.  All I can say is this: you are right on trac…[Read more]

Great job both Kylie and M.T.  You guys are superstars!!!

This is my fifth day on bars.  6 pounds gone!  Lots of water weight gone, and my sides are already slimming.  Little bit of a headache and weakness as my body is probably detoxing.  How is everyone else doing?  I’ll record my eight next week.

Good morning Kylie!  I hope you are doing well today. ♥️

Thank you ladies!  Elizabeth,  I am drinking Stur water enhancer.  Feeling a little better tonight and hoping the weak feeling passes tomorrow.  I’m still sticking to the diet, no problemo!

I am a stress eater also and food is what helps the stress, but only in the moment.  Then there’s compounded stress from being overweight and eating more to temporarily deal with it.  I give up, binge on unhealthy foods to make me feel better…and it’s a bad cycle.  I’m on day four and even though I’m a bit weak and would totally love a chocolate…[Read more]

That’s great, Michelle! I love how you post your losses every day.  And hello Mahta!  Nice to meet you! ❤️

Thank you for the posts!  I’ve joined this board before and have felt discouraged in the past when people drop off and I feel I’m the only voice on the board.  It’s lonely!  Kylie and Elizabeth, don’t give up!  This does work.  I reached 117 pounds and kept it off for quite awhile, but ended up not keeping up with my healthier diet while on mai…[Read more]

Thank you Elizabeth and Kylie, that would make sense.  It’s another motivator to stay on this diet.  Who thought a diet of snicker bars would have that awesome side effect.  😆

He sent a pm 2 days ago to me, so I’m hoping he’s okay too.  Maybe he’s still away on vacation?

Welcome back Mahta!

Yesterday 171 from 176 (-5 ) I’m not doing bars regular food I enjoy the different bites & feeling included in the variety of bites too much & since I am losing right now im going to stick to this for right now.

The weekends are my challenge going into it with a mental image that the weekend is the same as a week day no need…[Read more]

You got this!!!! You are you & you have did this in the past & you will do it again!

Your a fighter! That’s why we love you!

Sorry to hear your struggling

I do think getting help is okay.

We would support someone needing help if they needed help with depression I now feel allowing ourselves to get the hell we need is an important part of this journey.

Is there anything you find helps you distress outside of food?

I’ll share one I use I do puzzles & have a drink like…[Read more]
