I hear you, but you need to do what is right fo you always.  NEVER give into eating more than 5 bites.  No excuses.  HAD she been watching, I would have said something like, “This is AMAZING!  I’m taking some home for my kids to try!”

Brilliant!!!  

How did the cake taste?  Would another bite of it made the cake more memorable?

PERFECT, Danica!  Come here for help!  That’s what we are all here for!

It sound like your mind is already back in the game with input from everyone.  I love that!  Weight loss is all a mind game.  GREAT!  

How long ago was your surgery?

Ah, but you must practice and perfect the art of throwing food away.  This is SO IMPORTANT!!

ABSOLUTELY right!  You HAVE to learn how to five-bite with regular food.  Granted, when you are done you will be eating a lot more than five bites, but you MUST be comfortable with throwing food away.  So comfortable, in fact, that you throw it away without even realizing it.  That’s a big part of what you learn here.

Hi Tao!  Welcome!  I sent you a welcome message–did you get it?

There is no “probation” period.  Post away!  I’m sorry your post didn’t save, but try again.

The majority of every pound you lose is water, but you lost at least 3 pounds of pure fat yesterday.  Great job!  The key is to maintain this EXACT focus all the way through to the finis…[Read more]

I am so excited for you, Beth!!!  You are so close to the 120’s:  less than a week away, and then you are almost there!  This is awesome!! 

I love it, Catherine!  

Right.  I think a lot of people probably ate too much today.  After all, it’s our mother’s day, not just ours, and it’s hard to be totally self-centered on a day like today.  I definitely overate tonight–a lot–but I will under eat tomorrow and get right back to where I like to be.  Hopefully I will see some of you tomorrow at the chat!?

Right.  The extra bites you had today are behind you, and at this moment, if you are not eating, you are perfectly back on track.   Now try and power through the next day and half.  It will be challenging.  I recommend NOT having lunch at all (no Snickers) and save all 10 bites for Mother’s Day, being as careful as you can when that time com…[Read more]

Hi.  Next to “Week 1” or “Week 2” (or whatever) are up-down arrows; click on that and go back to the week you want to change.  Week 1 should be your starting weight.  Week 2 should be your weight after the 1st week, etc.

I LOVE that, Catherine!  I LOVE the idea of you taking a bow after you eat.  I LOVE THAT!!!  

I don’t think so.  You can’t delete weeks, but you can change the week’s weight.  So, go back and change the 1st week to the correct weight, (and keep the second week to that same weight).  Then, after you next weigh-in, change your second week’s weight to the correct number.

I like both of these comments.  Fill up on the AROMA of food, not the actual food.     And following this regimen does free up a bunch of time.  It’s all a win-win!

Right.  Because I still haven’t received a notice that you’ve filled it out.  I’ll talk to my tech guy about this.

Perfect Team Raccc!  That’s it.  You are winning this fight.  Keep up the great work!

I love it!  And I love the update.  PLEASE do this everyday so we can all be there with you.  Which reminds me, I want everyone here to think of little mini me–mini Doctor Lewis–sitting on your right shoulder and rooting you on all day every day.  You are not alone!  I am there with you.  All day, every day.  Which also means, please don’t…[Read more]

Great.  I love your attitude.  I just checked your weight tracker–at least on my end, it’s all blank.  The system knows when it’s filled out and then sends me a notice, and the I review it and start a private conversation with you.  So would you mind finishing filling it out?  Thanks!  I can’t wait!  We are going to have fun!  

Yes.  You can do any bar.  Are there smaller/different bars that you would rather do?

If the 2 oz Snickers bar is 7 bites for you, then I’m OK with you having 7 bites for every meal.  7 for lunch, 7 for dinner.  But you have to keep your bites the same size as one of your Snickers bar bites.

The oz thing is irrelevant.  I just happen to know…[Read more]

Howdy, Team Raccc!  This journey will be an awesome, all-out sprint.  I want you to think of it like that.  I want you to run all out–as fast as you can–until you cross the finish line.  You should be able to do it in less than 2 weeks.

You could eat 1/3 of a cup a day, but that is logistically tough to do.  Do you plan on carrying a meas…[Read more]
