I love it Lynda.  Yes–your skin should “loosen,” but will again firm up when you get to your goal and plateau.

Only thing, Katie–be a little careful of too many “diet” or “zero” calorie drinks.  Remember: ONLY water has 0 calories.

What I’ve noticed hovering at my current weight is all my skin has firmed up. So I’m looking forward to loose skin again in the next downhill push. I’m sticking to the bars so I dont stress about my bite size for a few days.

So its taken me a while to get me head in the game again. And I really need to focus after 3pm , take my 5 bites, then be done with it. I’m struggling a bit with my usual ice coffee. I prefer it with a dash of milk, so if I’m tempted to keep picking after 5pm, I’m going to make my iced coffee and sit down somewhere.

Fantastic post, Michele!

First, you are right.  Stay away from all other “advice” out there.  That “advice” is why America has gone from a 10% obesity rate to a 50% obesity rate in just 20 years!

I LOVE your insight.  When you compare the pain and misery of being hungry, feeling weak, and headaches to the much-longer-lasting pain that stems fr…[Read more]

How amazing is that KT!!! Wow oh wow!!

Shelly – Maintaining is a great accomplishment! I posted this on Michelle’s profile to respond to your post. It was written with the intention of support, encouragement and love

Sweet, Beautiful Shelly-

Hand on Heart – Simply place your hand over your heart. Breathe in deeply, exhale completely. Repeat calming words to yourself such as: This too shall pass. I am safe.I am loved. I am free. All is well. I am willing to see this a different way. I have made it through many obstacl…[Read more]

I watched my 2 grandchildren everyday last week and tried to do my job.  I was exhausted.  I was hurting and I’m back to negative thoughts this week.   I did not take the time to journal.  No loss. But no gain.

Thursday    I’m journaling again

and I will post here weights daily

Hi Christine –

Wanna play?? Tell me about the outfits you plan to wear in Italia? What are the delicious foods that you will sample WITHOUT guilt? Will you want to take pictures and show them to your friends and family when you return? How do you want to look in those pictures?

Sweet, Beautiful Shelly-

This is for you — YOUR MOTHER’s COMMENTS ARE IRRELEVANT, INCORRECT AND A THING OF THE PAST! It is so criminal when parents deprive children of their birthright of unconditional love. YOUR MOTHER hated herself. If she loved herself, she would have been able to show you the love you deserved. I DO BELIEVE SHE LOVED YOU but…[Read more]

I get that Sharon! Sometimes we need a break. I have had several over the past year. You’ll come back strong when you’re ready. You have done great work over the last few weeks.

Yes – I agree. Even though we are veteran’s – food is seductive and emotional eating is a wired habit.

Well said Gayle       And I have found that my issue stopping me is negative thoughts.  Thoughts mostly that I don’t deserve to be skinny, beautiful and most of all.  I deserve the pain.   Stems from childhood and things my mom said to me.   I’m doing therapy on this and most days are 5 nite but hope to believe I deserve to be skinny eve…[Read more]

Great work Katie! Just remember, we NEVER regret the food that we forgo. It’s just about moving past the few uncomfortable moments. We can have those even when eating a “normal” diet.

We have so much to celebrate! The holidays and YOUR birthday are right around the corner.

Hi Michelle-

I’m in a rush now – pt in waiting room but I want to APPLAUD that courage, honesty and sheer determination. Sometimes we need to take a hard look at how we are getting in our own way and mostly that’s because we buy in to negative beliefs of the past that have led to deleterious behaviors of sabotage. NO MORE!

I used to look at this…[Read more]
