Thank, thank, thank you all so much!!

Welcome back, Samantha!  YES–let’s all do this together.  We will each have greater individual success by working with each other and learning from each other’s experiences.  But let’s just do it!  5 bites, twice a day, and do it.  Don’t give in to the hunger: that’s like stepping off the treadmill just after you’ve started to work out.  The…[Read more]

OK!  Let’s refocus and see how many you can know out in this upcoming week.  Go hard, go fast!  You can do this!!

Right, Jennifer!!  You are in the zone!  Now that you are there, and realizing that those first couple of days of resetting your hungerstat are taxing, don’t change a thing!  For the love of yourself, please, please, please don’t change a thing until you cross the finish line.  It’ll be here before you know it!!!

Great, great, great!!  

It will!!   Keep up the great work!!

Thanks for the reminder!

I think that’s good advice!

Brilliant!!!  You are right on track!  I’m so excited for you, Jamie!!

I love that!  You are overcoming the food demons and getting a taste of brilliant control.  Keep up the great work!!!
