Activity

Absolutely, Corey. It will plummet! Trust me! :woohoo:

Today’s weigh in from last Monday- 8 pounds (9.2 from last Sunday). Trying not to feel too disappointed that I didn’t hit 10 even. Just missed it by .4!! :angry: I had 2 days this week with barely any movement on the scale even though I am doing bars only and drinking a lot of water. Still focused. Goal for next Monday is 240.

Thank you Dr Lewis.
Yes…I thinking keeping it to myself will help
I need to do….just what I need to do to help the pain and wear and tear in my knee. Keeping it to myself does not put pressure on me and I can relax,
have fun with it.

Oh yes it is worth it, as long it’s only for a few more days or weeks, but not if it is for the rest of my life I love food to much :laugh:

Thanks, Shelly.

If I were you, I’d keep this journey to yourself as much as possible. If your friends ask you if you are still on that “crazy diet,” tell them that you’ve put it on hold for awhile. But quietly go forward on your journey. You husband will know, and those of us here. But mostly it’s all about you. You are doing this for you.…[Read more]

Pia: Don’t worry–just hang in there. When you settle at your ideal weight, you metabolism will pick up and enable you to stick there quite easily. You will see. Granted, you shouldn’t finish everything you see, nor should you want to. But you should be able to taste everything you see and have enough bites of each thing to be happy and…[Read more]

Took my blood sugar today and it came up 89! I was so excited and I couldn’t believe it, so I took it again. Came up 104. Dang it…

I did quite ok this week and even managed through the weekend, so much better than last week, and then I haven’t lost anything at all for the whole week, does that mean I have to stick to this amount of food for me too maintain :huh: ? I really hope not. I’m a bit disappointed, but nothing to do other than stick to it and try to be more perfect.…[Read more]

Dinner bar was 7- thinking I will start cutting the bars into 5 pieces, or go with 5 of the minis after I finish the box I just picked up from Sam’s Club.

Thank you so much Dr. Lewis!

If you eat a Snickers bar in 8 bites, then your bites are small. Fine. Then take 8 bites for every meal. But please don’t exaggerate the size of those bites–you need to keep them consistent. You will do very well. :cheer:

Day six on Snickers bars complete. Not sure if I should be concerned, but noticed that the standard 1.86 oz bar seems to be 7-8 bites for me (guess I have a small bite??). Should I be concerned? Should I count 5 bites and stop, or am I okay with the consistency of the bar size??? Should I wait until my weight loss slows and then count…[Read more]
