Activity

Excellent point. I remember when I got so frusterated with myself (I couldn’t get off of a certain # on the scale), that I decided to fast. It was really difficult, but the important thing is (or, ‘was’) when I went off the fast, I GORGED on food and literally over-ate so much, that I gained weight. Everything I went through went out the…[Read more]

You will still have the same shape, but you will just be smaller. You will look fabulous. And above all, you will be truly healthy.

You have a point. I believe alot of it is psychological too. I mean, we were raised to believe that we are not full or satisfied unless we are bursting at the seams. This program works in that way too..after it redefines what bursting at the seams is

OOOO WOW!!! That is very interesting!!

Rae I truly admire your story…and we will get to our goal weights together…remember this is only temporary, soon enough we will be where we want

I suppose my question was similar to the other one. Sorry!! But I do have this one question, if I have an hourglass shape, will I lose that shape as I lose weight?

Rae –

Thank you for these comments. More than you could ever know, I can’t wait until you reach your dream weight.

GeorgiaGF –

Remember: The FBD isn’t for life–it is just a tool to reach a health and a physique that nobody else can attain. That alone should be motivating. But once you are done, then you get to eat more!! (Granted, it will be less than the amount that you are currently eating, but it will feel like MORE than you are currently eating.)

So…[Read more]

Thanks for the info, Rae. Good to know.

Hi Kizzykay –

Sorry–I thought I answered this already (another post?). But anyway…You could loose the 100 pounds in under 3 months. Not bad when you consider how fantastic your life will be at 117 pounds. So just get there. BUT please, never eat more than 5 bites for a meal, and only 2 meals per day. This is really hard, but just stick to…[Read more]

VERY true Kat!! This happens to me too!!

Green eyes– that’s exactly my point. I LOVE this forum, I LOVE Dr. Lewis’s book, and I LOVE this style of eating. My husband and I have been through the mill too. We did Atkins once, and I lost 20lbs and couldn’t lose anymore. My husband’s cholesterol shot through the roof, so we had to quit. The weight came back. Then I did this place called…[Read more]

What also helps is when I say to myself that I’ve over-eaten all my life. Isn’t it MY turn now to be thin? I have given in and given in to cravings, and 2nds and 3rds, etc. well, it’s my turn now. I’m really mad at myself that I let myself get so overweight. Well no longer. At times, my stomach has been like a little spoiled brat in a candy store…[Read more]

I know this might be off-topic, but be careful with Crystal Light. My husband bought a container of the classic orange, and I looked at the calorie content. 5 calories per serving, but there are 48 servings per tub (and the tub is what you mix into the pitcher of water). 48 servings times 5 calories each is 240 calories. Sneaky.

Hi Georgia!
I know that when I first tried to do this diet, I realized that I was doing it the wrong way. By that I mean I was making my bites the size of my mouth rather than a "normal" bite. I would make the excuse "Oh well its only 5 bites so what harm would it really do if it was this big?" I realize now that those bites I was taking were the…[Read more]

You hit the nail on the head teresa!!!

I agree…I always get bloated for at least a week before my period starts…but then maybe a couple days after it ends, i’ll be surprised when the scale says i magically lost 10 pounds :laugh:

Hey!
Thanks, thats what I heard too. Thats why I’m doing the snickers bar method. I want to get the best results . I would really like to hear what the Dr. has to say though

$50 bucks is a bargain – there is a real person behind this site that answers every single question posted – Most people just want to sell you supplements from their site – congratulations on the 20 pounds that is awesome.

If you are ladies and your weight has stalled even though you are doing things *by the book* check your calendars and see where you are in your cycle-any water weight gain can make you seem stalled at that time of the month.

also if you are eating protein, is it salty?

I would watch the sodium-and the calendar and keep up the good work!
