That’s amazing!!!! You are a definite inspiration!!

I’m not sure I could rewatch that since I’m so uncomfortable in front of a camera

I’m so glad I participated though!!! I really think the weekly chats will help me stay on track!

Such a small loss for this week – my little slip up last weekend cost me a whole week of weight loss.  Thankfully I am so busy with work right now that I’ve had no time to slip up.  That is also bad though, because coming here helps me mentally.

Woohoo way to go!! 

Grrrr I had a slip up this weekend that will most likely mean no weight loss this week.  I am so bloated.  I very rarely drink, but had some wine with a friend on Saturday night which led to overeating – I didn’t get it under control until mid-afternoon yesterday.

My plan today is to fast until dinner time, then have one 5 bite meal.  But, if I’…[Read more]

The only hunger I feel is head hunger at this point, usually when the coworkers are eating lunch, or a vendor brings in snacks.  Most of the time I just feel “empty” which is so much better than being over-stuffed!

Another awesome day yesterday.  Instead of a bar for supper, I did have lasagna with my hubby.  I served up a smaller than usual portion, ate 5 bites and pushed it away.  He grabbed my bowl and questioned why I didn’t eat it all – I explained that I am eating in moderation, and that I am eating a lot less now to lose the weight.  (I am not sur…[Read more]

Poppycat – I’ve never tried the Isagenix bars – I’ll have to look for them!  You sound like you have a good routine down for your day!

After not eating 10 bites yesterday, I was excited to step on the scale this morning and was down another 1.2 pounds…. I really only intend to weigh once a week, but it was nice to see that.  That’s 11 pounds d…[Read more]

Today has been pretty good – I tried a protein bar for my first meal and it was terrible so I threw it away after 2 nibbles on it. Second meal was redeemed with the glorious snickers bar! I am now fighting the urge to eat extra since I didn’t have 10 total bites today – probably going to be bedtime for me early tonight!

Week one is done!

SW: 196.8

CW: 187.0

Just a little under 10 pounds!  I’m okay with that, but will need to make sure I’m being vigilant with a “normal-to-small” bite size after we are done with this bar challenge.

I also had a big struggle last night with almost talking myself into eating more than my bar.  Thankfully, I resisted and had a p…[Read more]

Day 1 done!

Yes, Dr. Lewis, I am filling my mind with all the good images! 

Grrr….dealing with head hunger today, not necessarily stomach hunger.  I am feeling so strong though.  I have every smaller size of jeans in my closet, so at lunch (instead of eating), I pulled out the smaller ones and imagined how awesome I was going to feel wearing them.  Kind of silly, but it’s a good visual reminder of goals.

I’ll join you!!  I should have plenty of bars if I can keep my hubby out of my stash.

Okay – next week I will just hang out for a bit!!!  I was thinking I got the time wrong because of the time zone change at first.

Today is going to be another great day!  Tomorrow will be my first weigh in, and I’m hoping for a double digit loss.

Awesome job Neil!

Today was as easy as it can get, I think.  I was so busy at work, that I forgot to have my first meal, so I only had one 5 bite meal today.  I feel hungry now, but I also feel awesome!

I did try to join the chat, but maybe it wasn’t on for tonight?

Woohoo I had an awesome weekend!!  I’m excited to step on the scale Wednesday morning for my week 1 weigh in.  I know I’m under 190 because my wedding ring fits again, so that’s a big positive!

Love it poppycat- let’s make it a perfect day! I’m sipping on my tea and waiting another 2-3 hours for my snickers. Having yesterday under my belt has given me the strength I need to get through today too!

Saturday is done! I’m so excited to knock tomorrow out. Today was my day 4 and historically my day 4 is the worst for hunger – I kept myself so busy today that it was not an issue. Yahoo!
