“If you want this, just do it!”  – Dr. Lewis

Congratulations. Such a fabulous weight loss your first week Amy. Well Done  

Yes. It makes sense, but it’s not happening for me and there must be a reason why? I am breathing consistently all day. I don’t hold my breath in the morning between getting dressed and eating lunch. But, that’s when I gain weight.

Something is up and it’s not extra food. I have been perfect. And there is no carbon in water. So, could it be the 3…[Read more]

Cortisol may stimulate your appetite, but it certainly does not slow down your breathing.  So no matter how much cortisol your body produces, it won’t affect your weight.

As far as fluid (water), what goes in DOES come out, or it would build up around your ankles (first).  You would see it.  Prednisone can cause fluid retention, but more im…[Read more]

Wow! First of all I want to  thank you for your thoughtful response to these numbers.

I have no idea what to think about metabolism. I would assume it runs faster during the day then it does at night. Yes. I would also assume that my metabolism ran faster before menopause than now, after menopause or at least that’s what I’ve read. I would love…[Read more]

GREAT job, Amy!  Congrats!      

Hi Susan.

So here’s a quick summary of your body’s baseline metabolism and weight loss:

Wed, on 7 1/2 hours, you lost 1.5 oz (This had to be an error in your scale, as we shall see).  Thursday night on 6 1/2 hours, you lost 6 oz.  Friday night you lost another 6 oz after just 5 hours of sleep.  Saturday night, after a full 8 hours of sleep, yo…[Read more]

Thanks Susan:)

Wow!! That is awesome!!! Great Job!

So worth it!!

“I want you in almost a giddy state, like a kid going downstairs to open their Christmas stocking. I want you to be so excited about what it’s going to be like, and what it’s going to feel like to be thin. And then do whatever it takes to get there.”  –

Those sound good!  I’ll be picking some up whenever I see some.

I like that:):) What a difference it makes to have that kind of attitude!  Not only in our lives personally but for those around us too.  It’s a little contagious I think;) Nobody likes a grumbler or negative person cuz it just brings ya down and stresses you out.  When I get that kind of attitude I like to start listing off all the things in my…[Read more]

Looking for the positive in everything is like a challenge, I play it like a game. When something crappy is happening I challenge myself to find the silver lining. I always do!

Although sometimes it takes longer than other times lol 

And like he says we will finish this even if we have to crawl over the finish line!!

I’m anxious to cross it too Susan!
