Thank you Dana!

If I keep losing close to this rate, I will be out of the 200’s in only 2 weeks! I’m really excited!!

I’m ready for day 8!

I always have a hard time when my schedule gets messed up too much, it’s one of my worst faults! So great job sticking to it! Your progress is so encouraging!

I lost 12 pounds!!!

From 227.8 to 215.6! 101 lbs left to go.

No wonder my clothes are fitting better.

I hope you all have a great day!

Hello!!!

I’m glad you’re here!

I love how you said ‘my body is not a trash can’. That is so true! I had to laugh too because the idea is funny!

I hope you have a really good day!

Day 7 was perfect!

I ate a protein bar at lunch; it tasted a little weird honestly but it was delicious at the same time!

For supper I ate biscuits and gravy with my family. 5 bites!

I think this routine will work well, because I like having something ready to go and simple for lunch, and getting to eat supper at the table with…[Read more]

I know, it’s hard to STAY out of that kitchen! I still struggle with it when everyone else gets a bedtime snack. But I go read this forum or watch the chats.

That sounds fun! I’ve always wanted to be a writer actually.

Thanks, Dana! Today is going great so far, no big hunger issues, just settling back into my routine.

I think the cycle thing could be caused by hormones; I’m reposting a quote I posted last week because I like the way Dr Lewis said it so much:

Here’s one of the MOST motivating tidbits I’ve come across while listening to the Zoom cha…[Read more]

Thank you Dana!

*Warning: Risk of TMI*

Um, a non-scale victory here: I have really irregular cycles, partly because I’ve always been overweight, and probably partly inherited. Anyway, I haven’t had a cycle since March, and I started today. So that is exciting to me!

Hopefully once I get to my goal weight it will all stabilize! I…[Read more]

That’s wonderful!

I agree… Trying to convince someone to do it doesn’t work! They have to want the results for themselves.

I hope you have a great day!

Welcome Sally!!!

I’m so glad you are here! It can be hard to get started, but if you stick to it for a few days it becomes your ‘new normal’ and gets easy!

I hope you have a wonderfully successful day!

We can do this!

Day 6= perfect! Hooray!

For supper, we had some bean soup and cornbread and carrots. I was holding a baby while I ate, so nobody even noticed how much I was eating! I just ate 5 bites from my bowl and laid my napkin over the rest.

I drank about 3 energy drink mixes; I think the caffeine would equal about 2 cups of coffee. I also had…[Read more]

Good job! You are doing so well!

I just ate lunch. I ate it later than usual and I got really irritable over SILLY things.

The other day when I ate a late supper the same thing happened, so I’m going to have to plan better. I think if I keep those energy drink mixes handy, and eat a bar at my usual time, then I will feel less grouchy and mean.

Yesterday I ate late…[Read more]

I got some bars yesterday, so this week I’m going to eat mostly bars. They are shorter than a Snickers, but my bites are smaller so that’s great. I got the meal replacement/protein/keto kinds of bars, because I got kinda tired of candy bars. And I’ve been wanting to try the ‘diet’ bars for ages!

Looking forward to a perfect day 6!

Thanks!

I DID IT!!!

I was perfect! It’s so nice to know that I can do the 5bd even on a long, social, food-centered day!

We ate pizza for lunch. I ate 5 bites.

For supper they made a special meal of tacos from the fresh meat, and I didn’t want to be ‘picky’ or rude so I took slightly bigger bites than usual and finished my whole…[Read more]

Good job Dana!!!

It’s hard to conquer that negative inner voice. I’m so glad that you were able to be strong and prove it wrong!

And it’s hard to make dinner during the first days! Congratulations on being so perfect!!!

I hope you have a really good day tomorrow. I hope you will get over the little hump…[Read more]
