Happy new year!  I sent Dr L a message this morning when I noticed the same.

I hear ya Kylie!  I was not overzealous about when I could reach goal until now. A few months ago,  I was about 25 pounds from first normal range bmi goal (for the second time in my adult life) when I fell off the wagon again. I totally could have reached that had I stayed the course. Hmmmmm.  Wonder why I self sabotage when I get so close!!???  A…[Read more]

From my experience, it (not eating for emotional comfort) does make the emotions more prominent.  We have to find a way to deal with emotions.  That is the key to long term success.  I thought I had this conquered, but stress eating since Labor say has gotten me off track.  I am trying to pinpoint what I substituted for the emotional dea…[Read more]

“Goal” is my word!!

Shelly,

Happy new year! How are you doing?

Good idea.  I will start again tonight.

Looking forward to catching up!

Keep it up!!

Woohoo!!  Love the name!!!

Woohoo!!!!  Preparing for a New Year’s Day party this evening.   Happy New Year!!

Thank you!! As is often, I just laughed out loud reading your reply!!  Good thing hubby is out of town during my insomnia!!

I bought some 5 hr energy “shot” drinks to get some caffeine in. That was something that helped me a great deal back when I was doing well with my routine. I also have my sparkling waters!

Hopefully you can find a modification that works with your drs orders.  I am sure you will!

I found diet sodas were impacting me too.  I started trying various unflavored sparking waters. Topo Chico tastes the best to me.  But I have learned to drink several brands.  I love the fizz.  They help me get through the diet days.

Cheering you ok!!!

Yah!!  Just keep your 5 bite days perfect!  That makes it work best!!  Cheering you on!

Cheering you on!!  I am gearing up to refocus.

Welcome back Shelly!  You shared so much of yourself here in the zoom archives, and it has helped so many! I know I and many others can relate to your struggles!  You are in the right place!  I understand Dr. Lewis is out of town and will not be doing a zoom on 12/30, but I think he will be back the following week on 1/6 after New Years. I hope to…[Read more]

Hi Shelly!  Thanks for that reminder to look at old pics!  That does help!!  I remember you from the zoom archives!!  I was very inspired by your videos!  I could relate so much to everything you said and shared! Cut from the same cloth!
