Thanks for the positive comments.  Only lost 3 pounds this week, so…..

Back at it tomorrow.

Why is my roommate tempting me to eat this evening??!?  He knows that I am dieting right now and not eating after 6pm.  Trying to stay strong…..

I am working on the coffee.  It is supposed to be 102 today, and I have done a lot of walking outside.  I pretty much only drink water, coffee, or tea.

Okay, made it through another day.  Finished my last meal and going to the gym with my roommate tonight.  I have the day off tomorrow and am a bit worried about being home all day, but think it should be okay.  Trying to drink more water today as well, but my bites are on point.

Finished another day.  Only the scale will tell in the am.  Not sure why I am having such a hard time getting my water in though.

Woke up this morning to only a half pound loss.  Not sure what that is about.  I had 10 bites for the day, worked out with a trainer for 25 minutes, and completed 30 minutes of cardio.  Wasn’t hungry really, but I know I didn’t drink enough water.  I can say that I see a difference in my abdomen- just a little.  Hoping for a great rest of the week.

True. I typically do 2 sets of 5 bites.  The second 5 bites did upset my stomach a little yesterday- guess I should have brought that up on the call…   Also, I am so tired from this 10 hour workday that I just want to go home, veg, and go to bed early.  Thought I’d get both of my meals in before 6pm rolled around.

Thank you for the enco…[Read more]

Not bad today.  Had all of my bites for today, so I’ve been throwing down on some gym and water. We are working 10 hour days this week which seems to be helping as well.

Not sure if this one is on here, but Dr. Lewis said it on the chat tonight:  “Don’t be afraid to be exceptional”.  I might have to use that one myself with my students.

Made it through the day and stayed on track.  Actually, only had 3 bites at lunch, but seem to be okay.  Looking forward to another day tomorrow with my bites under control.

Made it through the first week with a couple of slips, but I made it.  Glad that I still lost, though not as much as I could have though.  This time around, I am going to try to focus more on the positive and not be so negative.  Purchased a pair of designer jeans for added motivation.  Not sure how much I need to lose to get them to fit, but I a…[Read more]

The last two days have been a bit of a challenge, but not impossible.  I seemed to have been pretty focused on food so much yesterday that I thought ‘I really need ____.’, but I didn’t.  Just found something else to do and before I knew it, the craving was gone.   I decided to, in order to take my mind off of the food so much, to start going to…[Read more]

‘Aa crash diet is better than no diet at all’.

I am a bit surprised that my last post here was 2015…..  After a disappointing couple of weeks, I am glad that today was PERFECT (as Dr. Lewis says).  Just finished a cup of tea and planning on getting in some water, but otherwise I am done for today.  Starting back I have regained all 39 pounds I lost, and then a couple more.  I have 2 mon…[Read more]

Trying to find things to keep myself occupied this long weekend….

Dear Corey–We are going to miss you and your posts, but the diet is ALWAYS with you. You can do it alone just as easily as you can do it with us. Be strong. Ignore those who encourage you to stay overweight, and ignore the temptation to eat for eating’s sake: there will always be time in the future to eat a lot more.…[Read more]

Thanks so much! The crossing legs is huge!

I will be taking a month off from the site, unfortunately. My new insurance didn’t pay for my ENT appointment, and my brother hasn’t paid me the money he owes me. :angry:
Going to have to budget for the next few weeks.

Got word from my CEO today that I was one of two employees selected to represent the Foundation and present a workshop at the Project Lead the Way summit in Orlando this coming October. And, they are giving us 2 days before to enjoy the sights! More motivation to stay focused.

Still traveling today, but have 2 NSVs!

1. I am officially out of the ‘2X Club’! I was able to get into a women’s XL, and purchased a large robotics t-shirt. I am starting to see the difference in the mirror as well.

2. I am sitting at the airport and am able to cross my legs comfortably and without holding my top leg.
