It is stupidly easy, isn’t it!? Keep it up!

Breakfast coffee, lunch 1/2 a snickers in 5 bites, dinner 1 bite green bean, 1 bite pasta salad, 3 bites homemade sourdough bread. Totally satisfying! Another great day!

18 perfect days down, 102 to go!

It really is and I find I’m putting more thought and effort into cooking!

I can’t count the number of birthdays/holidays that we ate dessert after the meal and then once the kids were in bed I’d grab another piece. But last night I didn’t feel any pull to eat the leftover pie and there is enough to give the kids a second serving after lunch today.

Also, I usually eat fast and tend to chew the whole meal on one side,…[Read more]

Another perfect day down! I couldn’t be happier or more pleased with myself for actually doing it!

Breakfast: black coffee

Lunch: 1/2 snickers in 5 bites

Dinner: it’s my birthday today and I thought a lot about what/how I wanted to handle my eating. Usually we go out to eat and I’m stuffed and regretting it all by the drive home, determined to…[Read more]

Hey Mary, It’s hard enough to stay on track through a meal with others let alone a trip with friends! Great to see you back!

Hi Chloe, I can relate to the whole high volume healthy leading to a very tricky situation when you do want something unhealthy! Since you’re so active, that will bump up your feelings of hunger so you’ll need to find a way to push through that hunger and know that it will pass. You’ll be so proud every time you do! Is your girlfriend okay with…[Read more]

Awesome! Congrats on the 180s milestone! Fantastic!!! Sounds like you’ve hit your stride. Now settle in for the ride!

Thanks brooks, it feels so good to not regret the day!

Hi Spiderclome, thanks so much! I love to follow similar height/weight goal people too so I’m eager to watch your journey unfold!

Thanks Dr. Lewis! I know the family dynamic is not changing any time soon but I am!

today was going okay, I had my coffee for breakfast and 5 bites of snickers for lunch but then I was feeling like I was in a funk and I simply missed the habit of eating. I miss it! I miss grazing on food, picking at food, swiping a few extra tastes when I’m…[Read more]

Yesterday I had a frustrating phone call with a family member, and as family knows how to push your buttons like no one else, I got off the phone in a rough emotional state. Normally I’d turn to food for comfort. It was almost time to start dinner and in the past, I would have called my husband on his drive home and asked what he’d like for dinner…[Read more]

YES! Once a week! The daily fluctuations will drive you mad and you’ll lose focus. Focus on getting perfectly on plan: black coffee, water, vitamin, 5 bites, 5 bites and nothing else. Then you won’t fear the scale on your weigh in day and the scale will have no choice but to move down.

It really makes it feel more attainable since with water fluctuations and salt intake, etc., you can’t know 100% what the scale will do but you know for sure a day will pass and you know if you followed the plan or not that day. Go for it! I’m excited for you!

Thanks Chris and brooks! I feel wonderful. It’s only a matter of time!

Today marks 15 perfect days in a row!

Breakfast black coffee

Lunch 1/2 a snickers in 5 bites

Dinner pasta with Italian sausage, 5 tastes. I realized today that the bite size I’m eating is the same or less than the size I feed my toddler 

15 perfect days down, 105 to go!

Great plan, I’m excited to follow your journey! Bars for lunch, food for dinner works good for me and is super easy. Have a great day!

Absolutely take communion and I don’t even count it since it’s physical weight is so insignificant (spiritual weight is another story )

Fantastic job! It is tough when the weekend has you off your normal routine and you realize how much food is just waiting to help you pass the time. Awesome pushing through, you’ll never regret that you went…[Read more]

Just weighed in and I’m down another 7 pounds! Still trying not to over analyze the weight and just focus on being perfectly on the diet every day for 120 days. I’m excited to start another day!

Wooo Hooo! Just completed 2 perfect weeks! I weigh in tomorrow morning…

Today: breakfast coffee, lunch 1/2 a snickers eaten in 5 bites, dinner 5 bites pasta salad. I did have some unsweetened iced tea around 2pm when I was getting a bit peckish and that helped to refocus.

14 perfect days in a row, 106 to go!

Day 13 down and it went awesome!

Breakfast black coffee

we do a brunch either Saturday or Sunday, today was brunch so I swapped my bar for 3 tiny bites French toast and 2 tiny bites eggs.

on brunch day, we do an earlier dinner and a snack (for the kids) in the the evening and while I was wanting to eat between 2-3ish, I planned to do dinner at…[Read more]

Just push through the hunger, it will pass!
