Great job, Kristina!

Right: Your weight does not define you. It just defines your health. So lose all of you excess weight because you NEED to. But the new, older, wiser you will find the strength, courage, and knowledge to avoid the psychological/emotional/physical trauma you suffered when you were lower in weight and younger in years. THIS…[Read more]

I LOVE to hear that, Stefanne!!!! :woohoo: I am so excited for you! Now that you are in the groove, please don’t do anything to disrupt it. Don’t you dare eat that sixth bite! Wait until you are skinny and done. OMG, won’t that be the best thing ever?? :woohoo:

Goodness gracious. Here you are giving photo updates on your progress and you are worried about drawing attention to yourself? Are you kidding me? What a LAME reason for not wanting to get skinny. Remember: you health is more important that how little or how much your appearance appeals to other people. Let them think what they want and say…[Read more]

Although it’s salad, and lower in calories, you CAN’T HAVE more bites of it!!! ALWAYS keep your bite count the same. :angry:

Not a bad day, but always shoot for perfection. I like that!

Wow! Fantastic, Stefanne! I rooting for you to do the same thing (but 2 bars is perfectly fine too) tomorrow! :woohoo:

YES, Kristina. It is time. Say good bye to the old identity, and grab a backpack and walking stick, and start exploring new, uncharted territory. Leave the old self behind and find that new, STUNNING, EXTRAORDINARY new you!! :laugh:

Good. Keep it going!

Right–all that sounds good, Kristina, but right now I want you to focus on one thing and one thing only: the finish line. Get ALL of your excess weight off. THEN you can follow any diet/exercise routine at your will. But right now we’ve got to get rid of that fat that is slowly, but surely, shortening your life span; and we want to get rid of…[Read more]

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, Kristina! You ARE going to be a superstar. It’s all about how quickly …

Looks really good. GREAT JOB!! :laugh:

You bet! You are more than welcome, but YOU are doing all the work! Congrats! :laugh:

YAY! Exactly! Amazing, isn’t it! Congratulations, Kristina! I’m so happy and thrilled for you!

Now, more than ever, you need to stay focused. Don’t change a thing. Don’t eat an extra bite of anything. It won’t be worth it. Worse than that, it may derail your progress. Pretend like you HAVE to eat like this for the rest of your life and…[Read more]

Good, but you can see that was still a bit more than five bites. Try and be perfect!

Menstrual cycles throw you a curve ball, because they stimulate your appetite. But IF you are able to stay true to the diet during your cycle, you will lose a ton of weight when it’s over. For obvious reasons you will gain water weight during your cycle (hence don’t weigh yourself everyday), but will lose that water soon enough.

Some patients…[Read more]

I’m not sure either, but I know it’s not the diet. Don’t lose focus. You’ve got this! And don’t let people convince you to change your routine. YOU understand why and how this diet works; they don’t. Be strong. Be a rock. And do the incredible! :laugh:

Beautiful. You are doing GREAT!!! :laugh:

Very well stated, Kristina.

OK. Fair enough. I don’t understand those technical aspects, hence I’m lucky to have Chris!

Hmmm. I don’t know about this. Pardon my ignorance, but what is DNS?
