We are cheering for you!

Woohoo!!!

I missed Monday’s chat – I had an overnight shift.  I will be back on 1/30.  I hope everyone is doing great!

Karly, I was telling Dr. Lewis that last time I fell off, I was embarrassed so I disappeared.  This time (my second time trying 5 bite diet), I am committing to sticking with the community even if I fall off.   I do better with this plan even if I fall off now and then verses any other plan.  I am trying bars this week to take the decisions out of…[Read more]

I just joined again.

Hi Marlene and Dr. Lewis and everyone! I am just rejoining after 1.5 years away and up about 20 pounds :(.  I was wondering if the Monday night chats still happen, and what time they are.  My daughter has dance class, so not sure yet if I can join (if I have a car full of dance teenagers).  I was looking at the youtubes and re-reading the book, an…[Read more]

Sounds like a great plan!!  You are smart to keep your weight in check so you don’t have such a long haul like some of us!!

Woohoo!! Great start!!
