Great job! AND, knowing that you can eat freely just a week away, I think you can stick to the Snickers. I’m thrilled that you found today easier than yesterday; tomorrow will be even better! Great job! :woohoo:

Hi WalkerLori! Welcome back!

I don’t know how much lighter I’d like you … it depends on the amount of fat around your stomach. You MUST have a lot of muscle on your body, so in theory your stomach could be really flat. BUT …. if it is not …. then I DO want you to lose weight until it is gone.

Great job, though, in maintaining your…[Read more]

I agree, Pia. I think it is the pre-Holiday lull. BUT, look at is this way: you guys who are here have me all to yourself. Even though I don’t respond in the forum everyday, I am always responding to your messages. I’m ready to help however I can.

And even if there aren’t many people here at this particular moment, know that many, many…[Read more]

Great!!! Hope you feel better. See you tonight! :lol:

You bet! It sounds like you are dialed in, Kathe, and that makes me SO EXCITED for you. Remember what we talked about on Monday. You just need to keep up this intensity through the weekend, then you can take your first breath. I can’t wait to chat again on Monday!!! :cheer:

You DO look like you are perfectly at goal right where you are. And for you, at 5’11, 124 is perfect. I wouldn’t go below 120 for sure.

Great. And I know you well, Letileti! You have arrived and are already living that exceptional life. Sure: just after getting to the finish line the first time you are going to make a few adjustments to figure out how to stick to that number, but it looks like you are doing great at that. And I love reading your posts–they are very inspirational!

I really appreciate reading your insights, Letileti! Thank you!!!

Great. Take it meal by meal. Just eat your five bites and be done with it. You’ll be at your goal–without even thinking about it–in no time! :lol:

Yes indeed! I love it! You are a superstar, Letileti!

How true, Letileti: “Depression is not a cause for binging but it can be an excuse.”

The reality is, Aniebee, that the extra chocolate chips will affect your weight loss, but you should still see a significant drop on the scale if you been able to adhere to the diet otherwise.

Again–especially for people who have had eating disorders–this diet is perfect for you. It gives you absolute control without doing any harm to your…[Read more]

GREAT. :laugh:

Brilliant! That is EXACTLY right. It’s hard, but you power through, because it is TOTALLY WORTH IT! :woohoo:

That’s exactly right: lesson learned. But try and recall how that overeating made you feel BEFORE your next 5-bite dinner.

Great!

Right. And when you are REALLY hungry for dinner tonight, remind yourself that tonight is the night when you put your foot down and stand strong. Tonight is the night that you begin living that new life you’ve been dreaming about. Tonight is the night–after all this time–that you take that first step. Yes, you are going to be hungry, but SO…[Read more]

I love that, Aniebee. And everyday that you are on this diet you get the chance to practice more. So, for those who have a lot of weight to lose and are on this program for a long time, the good news is that they get a LOT of practice, and all that practice will help keep them thin once they get to the finish line.

Right, Shelly. The evenings are hardest, because that’s our biggest meal and when most bodies are expecting a lot of food. It’s going to take 3 days to break this pattern. Again, you just have to put your foot down and do it. It is hard? Yes–but that’s what makes it exciting. No more excuses (please, not another cousin story). You alone…[Read more]

Great job! :laugh:
