Sweet! Great job!

Absolutely right.  You are fully committed.  No turning back.  Execute each meal with precision.  Congrats!  

Today begins day 3 and I’m already feeling hungrier than yesterday. But I got on the scale this morning and I’m already down 6lbs in 2 days. No turning back for me. Today will be another 5 bite day.

I had a very realistic dream last night that I went to the grocery store with my husband, looked around and started down my usual path to failure and I could see in his face he knew it was coming because he had the look of a loved one of an addict who just relapsed. I started out by enjoying some savory food then just ate more and more until I…[Read more]

Granted, Kmarie, you need to stop putting off starting.  But here’s the thing will EVERYONE whose gained weight back after they lost a bunch: they didn’t go all the way.  I don’t want you to stop at mile 22 of a 26.2-mile marathon.  You need to finish the race.  If you do, the reduction in interleukin production, combined with a reset hun…[Read more]

You’re doing awesome! One day at a time and before you know it the 120 days are in the past

Leona, thank you so much for your welcome and kind words. You’re right about just focusing on who is here now. I’m inspired by your loss. Hoping one day I’m able to say I have had a 25lb loss as well.

AAL I know exactly what you mean. This is my 3rd time doing/trying this and each time I come back weighing more than when I stopped. I so want to…[Read more]

You’re doing great and such an inspiration to those of us coming up behind you! Keep it up. As for dancing and vacation activities, isn’t it fun to think about doing something physical simply for the fun of it? So awesome!

I can only speak for myself and to be completely honest, the reason I’ve never taken it all the way is because I know this diet is so effective that I can tuck it away for the future and continue to eat however much I want for another week, until the next holiday, until the next month or year, after we’re done having babies, etc. I also have…[Read more]

Right on!  

Another great day! We took a family bike ride. I had my snickers for lunch and for dinner we grilled, I ate 5 bites slowly to enjoy then busied myself with the baby.

Isn’t this program, as hard as it is at times, great!  You get the immediate benefit of looking better, feeling lighter, and fitting into your clothes.  You get the long-term benefits of excitement and hope; and of better health.  Leona, I’m really looking forward to your next 30 days as well!  

When you break it down like this, the whole thing becomes much more manageable.  Take it hour by hour, day by day.  You are doing GREAT!!!  

Fear not, Kmarie!  There are times (thank God not all that often) where I finish a complete meal and then some.  I usually regret it for hours afterwards because I’m in so much pain.  But you WILL have plenty of opportunities to experience a complete meal when you are done.  But for now, please do not finish anything.  We all can do that for the…[Read more]

Finished day 1 with 5 bites of tuna for lunch and an egg for dinner.

So I’ve been reading through some of the old posts and someone mentioned the fear of never again being able to eat a large meal.  That kind of hit home with me. I think that is a fear of mine too. Fearing that one huge meal is going to ruin all my hard work losing the weight.

But I do remember being skinny and I know food was never really much a…[Read more]
