Congratulations, SK, on your eating out experience!  Didn’t you feel powerful–even invincible–being able to eat as little as you did!  Honestly, on the ride home (please try and remember for me) … were you hungry?

Yes!  That is right!  Once you hit your goal, you can make little adjustments in your routine to keep the scale cemented at your goal weight.  I love the fact that your husband has set such a good example for you!!  

I am excited for you, too, Danica!!

SK — You must feel amazing now that the hangry part of hunger has gone.  Once you’re in the groove, DON’T CHANGE A THING!  We see so many examples of where people have afforded themselves extra bites to “celebrate” their success, only to reset their hungerstat in the wrong direction and struggle to get back o…[Read more]

Just 2 more days, Susan.  Fight the good fight.  You can do this!!!  

Right on, Letileti!!  

Welcome back, Shelly!!!  You can do this!  Let’s get ‘er started!  See you tonight!

Great work!  But just imagine how much fast you will be with another 20 pounds of dead weight off your body!!!

It’s a great, great feeling, isn’t it!  

BRILLIANT!!  Whew … when I read, ” … last night was a nightmare..” I assumed you had gained 3 pounds.  But NO!  You did great!

Here’s the thing: you could have eaten like everyone else, gained some weight, and it would have been like every other celebration you’ve ever attended.  But you ventured out and did something new: you resisted thi…[Read more]

Keep it going!  

Good.  Good luck!!!  

Good luck, SK!  Probably the best thing is to tell them you just aren’t feeling well, so you’ll have a couple of bites, but that’s it.  They really won’t care or remember how much you eat in a few days.  In general, we assume our relatives are more concerned with how much we eat than they actually are.  

Great!  How are you going to spend your money, Rachel?

Hi.  After week one, change that weight to reflect what you weigh on that day.  Same thing with week #2, etc.  Once a week is entered it can’t be deleted, but it can be changed.

Yes!  I do!  

Exactly right.  DON’T step on the scale but on your weigh-in day.

It’s always difficult to predict for so many reasons, but I’d say in about 3 months.  That’s is a tiny amount of time for such an extraordinary transformation and well worth the sacrifice.  But, you need to treat every day as if THAT day is the most important day on your jo…[Read more]

Exactly right!!

I love it too!  

OH … It’s going to look really good on you.  I’d bet my life on it!!!  

I think that is a great way to start!!!
