I was REALLY wanting avocado, so I decided to venture away from the bars today. My first attempt at making a spring roll. I forgot to mix my Spirulina in with it, but I am done for the day.

I broke down and got on the scale this morning. I was only down two pounds.
Trying to not be too upset. Thinking that perhaps I need to start walking or something. I know that in the book it says that exercise isn’t necessary, but thinking I may need to do it to take my mind off of days like today. I feel like I should be lower on the…[Read more]

Great job!

I had brisket for my 5 bites dinner last night. I was totally underwhelmed. It was very bland and greasy. Meh. It didn’t sit too well with me. I decided to fast until dinner tonight. I feel a little better. Just ate my and going to finish my night with lots of water. Hoping for good numbers on the scale this Monday.

Great job, Corey!

LOVE your jeans strategy. That sounds very motivating!!

I think jean rack is working well. I pass by them daily, touch them, try them on…. It was cool to see that my size 16s went on a little easier yesterday, though still don’t fit comfortably. I actually also purchased 2 pairs of True Religion jeans…[Read more]

Thank you! I have been avoiding my mirrors for the time being. :laugh:

Day 10….

So far, so good. Had my coffee and vitamin, set out my 2 bars for the day. Biggest victory- I put my scale away for the week. Going to try to commit to not weigh in until next Monday. Last week was hard. This week seems to be a little easier.

That’s good to know. I seem to need it alot.

Thanks!

Looking forward to weigh in tomorrow. This past week of not weighing myself daily has been really hard with the not knowing, but a bit of a relief of not seeing the scale go up and down, or losing .2 instead of an entire pound or 2. I have been visiting the jeans I purchased in my other bathroom every day to keep myself on track, along…[Read more]

Woke to the most excellent surprise! Decided to try on the jeans I marked for 8/4 and found not only could I button them, but zip them as well! They didn’t fit very well, but they were on after a week of 5 bites (5 days if I’m being totally honest). My new goal for the 4th is to have them fit.

An 8 is currently my goal. I am really hoping to be an 8 by the end of this year. I guess that I can keep going after that.

Keep those pants in plain sight! That will help keep it so firmly in your mind why you want the end result.

I have! I hung my 16s on my bedroom door with a sign as to when I want to fit into them. I also went to Goodwill today and purchased 1 pair from size 14 down to a size 8. Going to put up a new goal pair as…[Read more]

I’m right with you. Day 2. I didn’t weigh myself either. It really messes with my head. Instead, I focus on the benefits I’m feeling.

You are not alone.

Thanks so much! It is bothering me not weighing though. I have been weighing myself daily every day for years. Maybe this is what I need.

I am also going…[Read more]

Working to get back on track from what turned out to be a 2 week vacation. One day down and 156 to go before my holiday vacation to Las Vegas. Put together a little journal with a “5 bite diet” sheet I found on Pinterest. Thinking the extra logging will make me even more accountable. Put my scale up for the week, which is proving to be the…[Read more]

Well, I was strong Sunday and Monday, but by Tuesday I was ‘in with the Romans’. Up 7 pounds. Have to say that I was impressed how my supervisor was so supportive the entire week. He even told me to keep on track and that he would be checking in on me when I left.
I am wanting to have 20 pounds off by the time I see him again next month.

Good…[Read more]

I was thinking the same thing today. I am noticing a pattern of hunger following social media or tv time.

I am not sure why I never noticed it before. Interesting how much more ‘aware’ I am becoming now about a lot of things.

Never noticed how many food commercials there are on tv, or how many recipes come across my FB page until now. I’m really, really wanting to eat something, but going to be strong.

Had to share! I’m not as slim as I wanted to be, but I still love this picture!

Sounds like a perfect plan!! You will do great, and it will feel like a huge accomplishment to lose weight while on a trip! :cheer: (I hope you can still update here, too, so we can cheer you on!)

Yeah, I would love to come back having lost weight. Going to try to post each evening.
