Inna:  I’m so happy you’ve come back “home” when you truly need to lose weight.  This time, when you cross the finish line (again), please be aware that there is simply too much food around all the time.  You can’t eat it all, but if you try you will end up way over weight.  Life is about tasting and experiencing flavors, not how many bites of a m…[Read more]

That’s a tough one, Preet.  Everyone is so different.  And not everyone loses fat from the same place on their body.  I can give you a much better idea of how many POUNDS should be lost each week, but where those pounds come from is dictated by your particular body and genes.

BRILLIANT!!!!  You will absolutely LOVE how amazing you feel in the morning.  It’s like a runner’s high:  Running is painful at first, but the high you get after completing a long distance run is awesome.  You will feeling amazing tomorrow!!!

I love that.  It’s like working a construction site for 10 hours a day.  It’s hard work, but you feel really good when the project is completed.  Losing weight is also hard work, but, honestly, less PHYSICALLY demanding than moving bags of cement, lumber, heavy machinery.  And the end finished project is extraordinary.  So if you want this, comm…[Read more]

Indeed!  Such a dramatic transformation!!!

Sorry.  It should be working now.

Right.  GREAT JOB!!!  You’re totally in the groove!  Just stay there!!!

GREAT, GREAT job, Allison!!

Of course!   (Just don’t crack your teeth.)   

Welcome, Debra!  You’ve started off great.  You’ve got this.  Just keep placing one foot in front of the other.  We’ll get there together!!

Sure it’s hard.  But it’s totally doable.  Think about how hard it is to get through that first day when you are diagnosed with cancer.  Put in perspective, the hunger is not that bad.  Just do it!

At you current weight, you CAN lose 15 pounds per week.

Hi Alaska Gal,

I think only you have access too your profile page, so no one else can see that.  Does anyone know differently?

And Preet–That’s awesome too!  I love the fact that you just let it burn.  In a day or so, you will start to feel amazing, and everything we’ve been talking about will start to make sense.  Please don’t change a thing!!

YAY!!!  Another HUGE accomplishment!!!  Congratulations, Allison!!!

Indeed!  Extraordinary transformation–already!!

YES!  Hang in there: it gets a lot easier.  You are through the hardest part.  Just keep on eating the exact same way.

Yes.  You won’t be taking in any significant amount of carbon at all–unless you swallow the gum at the end, and I don’t recommend that.

Beautiful!  And 14 pounds is just around the corner.  It’s a stone throw away!  So, race for the finish line!!!
