Awesome job! I try to drink extra water or tea every hour. It seemed to keep my headaches away.

Today will be an awesome day!

Yes, that is my plan. I noticed that my coworker that had the bypass, that is what she does. She puts a few bites of food on a small plate and spends the rest of her time talking.

FINALLY back down to 245! Three pounds away from my 20 (wish I would have put that weight in when I started…)

Thanks everyone! I am a little nervous because I am going away for work for 6 days next week. I am a little nervous as to sticking to my bites. I have a plan to get around breakfast, but lunch and dinner will be challenging since we are going to be working and networking through those.

Lost 8 pounds this week! The ticker isn’t giving me my extra pound….
Good week last week and looking forward to a better week coming!

You post your weight on the Weight Tracker here weekly.

I’m sure that it may be discouraged, but I personally do weigh myself each day. I think it keeps me focused, especially to see the scale go down each morning. Sometimes, though, it does have the opposite effect on me, like if it goes down .3 or something I tend to get discouraged. I feel…[Read more]

Is it weird that I feel disgusted when I eat? Not sure how to explain it. I used to enjoy eating, but now it is almost like it is just one more thing to do. I tried doing regular food instead of bars, and it was lackluster at best. I don’t want to be dependent on bars the entire time. I actually wanted veggies but was underwhelmed. It is…[Read more]

Down .5 today from yesterday. Better than going up I suppose.

Today, down 3 pounds from yesterday. Almost back to what I had lost. Thinking another day or two will do it.

Great job!

Back from Las Vegas. My scale wasn’t kind, but neither was I.

First day was great, but went down hill from there. Met up with a friend I haven’t seen in 32 years, went to the Tournament of Kings dinner, yadda, yadda, yadda….

Back on track. Two weeks to until my work retreat and my next big speed bump.

Brilliant! I love it! Right! Keep the coffee (or tea) coming, but find a way to get by with just five bites for dinner–at most. You’ve got this!

I did skip lunch. I will have a bar for dinner. A little nervous about going to Vegas for the remainder of the week. Going to put some bars in my bag to be safe.

Strange day. Couldn’t seem to get my vitamin down this morning. Also, not one bit hungry. Thinking that I may skip lunch and just have my bar for dinner. I’m sure that I will be fine with 5 bites today. Guess we will see how I am feeling later.

I concur!

Cut up my salmon so that I would know exactly what 5 bites would be….

After having a good week- good, not perfect- I will say that I am disappointed in the numbers on the scale. Three pounds for a week is a little disheartening. I can say that I am still focused and plan to be where I want by December, though earlier would be much more appreciated.

Today instead of 2 bars, I am going to go for fish, just to…[Read more]

Hi Corey.
Let’s do this together.

Sounds good to me.

Hey, I say whatever works. I’ve been telling folks that I am doing portion control. No one bats an eye at that.

I’m going to try to do Snickers for the next 22ish days, but would like to think I would have the willpower by then to use regular food. Funny how I used to LOVE Snickers. Now, not so much.

Another day down. Two bars, but needing to drink more water. Still not happy with the scale… :pinch:

Great day- on track.
