Brilliant! You are going to look AMAZING at the ball! :laugh:

If at all possible, try and be perfect with bars for 1 week. Again, it’s just 7 days. Seven days that will change the rest of your life. The harder it is to stick to bars–they are, after all, really boring–the greater you will feel when the week is over. You will feel powerful and in total control. Then, you will be able to eat ANYTHING and…[Read more]

Brilliant!

Instead of hot cocoa, could you get by with hot tea? At least for this first week?

And I know that bars are boring, but again, it’s just for one week.

One measly week–a mere seven days–out of the rest of you life. It is insignificant. But the benefits of doing this right can be everlasting! In my mind, it is the biggest…[Read more]

Hi Aniebee! No problem. You’ll just change the weight to what you weigh after the first week, etc.

I’m really excited for you to! We are going to do this fast and be done with it. I can tell already that you are going to be a superstar!!!

Will please answer the questions I sent you? Thanks, Al

Anytime! :laugh:

Once you are skinny, Shelly, you will NEVER have to go back to eating Snickers if you don’t want to. At that point you can eat whatever you want to. It doesn’t matter. But you need to be much more worried about the fat that is on your body now that ANYTHING you do to get rid of it.

Sometimes I feel like you’ve never read my book–or that you…[Read more]

Good job, Dr. Collins. I love your posts, but I DO recommend sharing your food before you get to your five bites. Maybe what’s left over after the food has been picked through won’t be worth eating (much), or there will be less than 5 bites left. All the sooner to the finish line!!!

Yes, yes, yes, Letileti! You look fantastic! Perfect! Congratulations!!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Indeed–you look great, Beth! Just imagine what finish the [short] journey is going to look like! Incredible!! :woohoo:

Sorry all. There was a chat. I just haven’t posted it yet. I will soon, though–I promise.

Right, Shelly. Be sure to take care of yourself. Killing yourself doesn’t improve the health of your loved ones.

Fine Shelly, if that’s what you want. But it’s not the food that’s driving your hunger–it’s the volume. You need to keep your volume super, super constant. Is that inconvenient? Yes. But the consequences of not losing the weight are much, much more inconvenient!

Great. If your brother doesn’t come through, follow me by re-reading the book. I very rarely go on twitter.

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. Hopefully we’ll see you…[Read more]

Great.

Congratulations at the theme park, Beth! That’s a big challenge, and you conquered it! Don’t you feel so much better right now than had you given into temptation at the park? Wasn’t it worth it many times over? AND, there we be plenty of times in your skinny future when you can return to that park and have some of the park food if you want. Great job!

Great job, Beth. At lunch you probably wanted more, and dinner you wanted to eat, but when all was said and done, aren’t you really happy that you DIDN’T eat? Don’t you feel great now because of it? Wasn’t it worth chasing to stick to the plan? Isn’t it ALWAYS worth it to stick to the plan?

Great. Right–don’t overthink. Rather, become a robot: 5 bites for lunch, 5 bites for dinner. Water, coffee, multivitamin. Repeat.

The island DOES look great, and the best part of it is that it is BARE. No food, fruits, etc on it. I LOVE that! Keep food out of sight! GREAT!

Hi Annie!

WELCOME! :woohoo:

Please fill out the weight tracker info so I can work with you better.

Thanks!
