Yes!  I like that! :  

Great going, guys!  I love it!!  

At 190, 15 pounds is certainly doable.  But you can’t take in anything extra.  Go for it!!  

Great!  

YES!!  

Everything about your above post sounds great, Brooks, except the 480 number you threw out.  What’s a calorie?  It’s meaningless.  PLEASE unlearn that word and what it’s supposed to stand for.  Just count your bites!  

Great job, Brooks!  You’re out of the gates with a perfect start.  Take it in 5-minute steps.  Make it another 5 minutes without putting anything in your mouth.  When you get hungry, find a way to distract yourself; in 5-minutes the pang should be gone.  Then, next thing you know, it’s time for your 5 bites.  You are doing GREAT!  

Super!!  

Then, just have a Snickers bar.  Make it simple.  One bar.  That’s it.  No fudging bites.  Are you up for it?

Welcome back, Brooks!  Let’s do this this time, OK?!   

Hi Christine!  Any tips? … We are FULL of tips.  We WILL get it all off.  Please update your weight tracker so we can get started.  Thanks!

Great.  It’s the beginning of a new week.  Try and set a benchmark standard for what your body is capable of losing over a 7-day stretch if you eat PERFECTLY.  You don’t ever need to do it again as long as you live, but you’ll have a standard by which you can judge all other weeks.

It sounds like you are killing it too, Leona!  

Hi Mary!  Welcome back.  I’m so sorry about your hardships.  But if you’re ready, let’s get rid of that hardship that plagues 80% of Americans.  Let’s get thin!

Once again AAL–brilliant!  I agree with Leona: You’re killing it!  

Absolutely right.  You are fully committed.  No turning back.  Execute each meal with precision.  Congrats!  

Granted, Kmarie, you need to stop putting off starting.  But here’s the thing will EVERYONE whose gained weight back after they lost a bunch: they didn’t go all the way.  I don’t want you to stop at mile 22 of a 26.2-mile marathon.  You need to finish the race.  If you do, the reduction in interleukin production, combined with a reset hun…[Read more]

Right on!  

Isn’t this program, as hard as it is at times, great!  You get the immediate benefit of looking better, feeling lighter, and fitting into your clothes.  You get the long-term benefits of excitement and hope; and of better health.  Leona, I’m really looking forward to your next 30 days as well!  

When you break it down like this, the whole thing becomes much more manageable.  Take it hour by hour, day by day.  You are doing GREAT!!!
