I am so sorry for both of your losses.  This disease has indeed knocked us all for a loop.  But right, Rachel, you NEED to focus on you.  You NEED to strengthen your immune system, which means you HAVE to lose weight.  There is no other way of doing it.  I doubt the bars are given you heartburn.  More likely, you have gastritis from excess acid…[Read more]

Brilliant!!

I love that attitude!  Welcome!  You are going to be a superstar!!!

I love that, Shelly.  You’ve found a formula that works for you.  Now stick with it until you are SKINNY!  Why not?

Fine!  Then get a scale.  It is a really good investment in you.

You got it!  I’m so happy for you!  It certainly makes being hungry last week worth it, doesn’t it?!

Brilliant!  Now that you are already feeling better, put that good feeling to good, productive use.  Recommit to the diet.  Recommit to a dream future.  Recommit to a life that is exceptional.  And everything will start falling into place once you get back into the weight-loss groove.

I totally hear you, Doom.  You’re right: eating is one of the greatest downtimes or pastimes we have.  It is fun; it is relaxing; it feels good.  But do you know what’s even better than all of those things?  Being skinny.  Feeling skinny.  Looking skinny.  And then being able to eat until you are full to boot!  That’s really fun.  So, while th…[Read more]

I love everything you said, Carolyn!  Welcome, and a great post!!

Sure thing.

I’m so happy to hear it.  I LOVE the fact that you found a bar you are comfortable with.  You can always go back to that bar to readjust your portion sizes.  Keep up the great work!!

I so love that, Bev!!  You are absolutely there!  You are already at the finish line (well, not exactly, but it’s just a matter of time).  But, as long as you feel as good and full when you eat as you do, 1. eating is FUN, and 2. life is FUN!!  Just don’t change anything!  

So Megan, improvement is wonderful.  If you are eating less than…[Read more]

But keep this in mind, Shelly.  (And this is REALLY IMPORTANT and KEY):  If you can power through 3 perfect days, you will feel AMAZING!  You should immediately feel less stress, less fatigue, and possibly less pain.  I can’t stress this enough: you’ve listed every reason why you should be sticking to the diet exactly!!

Shelly–the milk could be cuasing IBS symptoms because of lactose intolerance!  I strongly recommend avoiding lactose, including the cheese at lunch, in everything you eat for 2 weeks to see if this helps.  And with [slightly] less food options available, you should hopefully find it easier to stick to the diet!  

Great!  So now we begin.  From my perspective, 60 pounds is nothing!!  We should have that off in no time!!  

Welcome Kat!  I can’t wait to work with you!  But please forgive me … have you been here  before?  If not, how are you aware of my passion for helping people get thin?

Hi Shelly!

It’s good to see the you keep coming back to what you know works.  Is it hard? … yes.  But it IS the ultimate answer.  SO, we just need to find a way to help you stick to the program until that last pound of weight falls off.  THEN you’ve arrived.

If you want financial advice, whose advice do you seek?  The know-it-all whose livi…[Read more]

Great job!
