I love it! What an awesome week you had and it paid off!!  You can do it!!! 💃The jaws are gonna drop!

That’s so true doc!  I actually feel like I’m getting quite a treat to have 2 candy bars in one day! ….

Perfect day #2: 2 snickers again💪😇 Was thinking today how I much prefer the feeling of being slighty hungry and not full as opposed to being really full or even stuffed.

Thank you everyone!  I found 2 great little inspirational signs for the house.  One says “You got this”  and the other says “Actually, I can”.  I really wanted to just water fast up until my birthday this month.  But I haven’t so far.  I always feel so good after I’ve fasted for a few days.  Maybe I can try incorporating some fasting later on in…[Read more]

So true! Thank you Susan. You are doing so well.  It’s very inspiring  I am going to be doing water only for the next 11 days.  Right now all food sounds gross anyway.  Figure I might as well take advantage of that.  And I want to undo the damage I’ve done over the last 4 days as quickly as I can.  My birthday is on the 18th then I have an 8…[Read more]

Thanks everyone:)

Hmm?  I’m sure the numbers will be back down tomorrow.  Sometimes I wonder about my scale. I can get one reading then step off and step back on and get a 2-3lb difference. I’ll step off and step back on until i get the same reading 3 times in a row.  Then I figure that’s my weight.  I miss the old scales before everything went dig…[Read more]

For me it was around the start of week 2 when i noticed my energy level going up…like way up.  More so than before I started the diet.  Hope that helps.  I just figure its my body tapping into all the excess fat to use as fuel.  I have so much energy now that I decided to try adding in a short workout today.  Felt pretty good.  Even though I’m s…[Read more]

That’s wonderful Marie! So glad you stuck it out yesterday.  Hope today is a little easier

Dr lewis- I was congratulating Marie on her 6lb loss not saying I lost 6 lbs. But I’m hoping the scale will show at least a 6 lb loss for me this week. So far it’s only showing 4.4lb loss. But i still have today and tomorrow before my week 2 weigh in.…[Read more]

Well 4 lbs is 4 lbs !   May have been less than you expected but just think of what that 4 lbs of fat looked like.  I like to picture it…like those pics you see online of what 5 lbs of fat looks like.  Have a wonderful time on your vacation! And looking forward to the quotes you will be posting about eating out. Those will definitely com…[Read more]

6 lbs already!!! Yippee🎉🎊🎆

Ata girl Marie  I don’t expect to feel satisfied after 5 bites.  It just sort of quiets my stomach for a moment. Then I move on to other things and turn my focus away from food altogether.  The trick for me is to not entertain any sort of thought of going over the 5 bites.  If I have that thought and don’t dismiss it right away then the lon…[Read more]

Wow Susan that’s awesome!  Way to go above and beyond I’m looking forward to seeing those numbers too!  You may have just inspired me to skip my 2nd meal on Saturday which will be the night before my week 2 weigh in.. Maybe it will boost my numbers some too.  Way to go Susan🎉😊

Yay!!  Had my snickers for lunch and will do a payday for dinner. I’ll stick with doing the bars for at least the next few days with ya.  And if it shows that I lose more weight when doing the bars only than I may do it for longer. The chats really do help to motivate for me too!  Maybe you will even reach 20lb loss before Apr 16!?!?!  So exc…[Read more]

I’ll join you in doing just bars for the next 4 days!  I think it really helps to teach us just how big our bites should be.  The first day I took WAY too big of bites.  Have you watched any of the chats yet?  I’ve been watching at least one every day.  They really help to keep me motivated and focused.  Watched Oct 20, 2014 today, it was reall…[Read more]

That’s brilliant!  Love it, will start doing that today

Welcome to the community  Very excited for you!
