I think that’s fine.  I would just be aware of all the excess food surrounding you at your family’s.  Taste everything, fill up, and finish nothing.  I think that is a good mantra to live by for the next couple of weeks.

Brilliant.  With time, assuming you don’t gain weight, the remaining fat will redistribute, and you will look less “bony” on top.  The fact that your stomach is flat is everything.  Congratulations!!!  

I love it!  

I love it!  

Of course that foot ball player has all the energy he needs to preform at a high level–stored in his fat–as do you.  You are doing GREAT, and I’m so excited for you!  How much more do you have to lose?

Too bad for them.

Please answer this question for me: How do YOU think you look?  How healthy do YOU think you are?  

Exactly.  You can always have more when you are skinny.

I’ve gained 1 pound–from 128 to 129, so I’ll join you in eating just 5 SMALL bites for lunch.  That should put me back where I want to be.  

Incredible indeed!  You are EXACTLY on-point, Tao.  Now, just simply NEVER change a thing until you are done, and that’s it!  All done.  An extraordinary life is waiting for you!  

I’m excited too!  

( … please say yes … please say yes … ) 

Right.  

Yay!  And keep posting here.  I want to here that EVERY SINGLE DAY you are able to stick to the plan.  It makes every subsequent a little better, a little more exciting than the one before.  There is no better way to live right now.  

I like that quote, Tao!  And GREAT job, Danica!  Doesn’t it feel amazing to be doing as well (already) as you are?  Remember how you feel right this moment.  Don’t you want to feel like this everyday?  Isn’t this feeling better than how any food at any time makes you feel?  So just keep it going.  Eat perfectly, and every day will be just as spe…[Read more]

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!!
