Keep up the good work Chloe! You are doing really great!

I think you’re right, it has to be just water fluctuation. I didn’t know that only 1/2 tsp salt could make that much of a difference! Wow!

Who knows? You might get a “whoosh” this week, and weigh 137 next week! Or close to it!

Thank you Dana! I’m packing some instant coffee and 10 calorie energy drink packets. Thanks for encouraging me! Yes, I want to keep it going!

Well, here is day 5! I’m GOING to stay strong, no matter what. I KNOW that I don’t need to eat any extra, because as Dr Lewis said in one of his chats, as long as I have ANY extra fat that my body will be just fine!

I’m going to expect and believe that I’ll feel amazing!

Go Dana!!! You can do this! I’m so excited for you! You will be amazing.

Something is coming up tomorrow: I just found out that we are going to get together with some other families to butcher pigs tomorrow.

I really don’t want to go off plan! I’m not so worried about the social aspect; I’m just kind of worried that I’ll feel low and succumb to eating from all the pressure and from working at the same time. :worried:…[Read more]

Yay! I’m so excited to see what you’ve lost!

Day 4= Perfect!

I drank coffee and tea and water, all unsweetened. I tried to drink a little less water today because I got a headache yesterday around suppertime, and I didn’t have one today.

Lunch was 5 bites of chow mein.

We ate supper later than usual, and I really struggled with it, but I was perfect!   I ate 2 bites of pot pie, 1…[Read more]

YES! I can do it! I’m not stepping on that scale until Tuesday!

Today is going great so far. I have even more energy than yesterday, and I feel like I’m settling into a routine.

I am really enjoying doing a little workout when I start to feel low before lunchtime. I’ve never actually ENJOYED doing workouts very much until now!

Also, I am wearing a…[Read more]

I’m requoting Susan here.

It’s starting to get easy now for me. I want to keep my mind in the game and stay focused!

Day 3= Perfect!

I drank unsweetened tea, black coffee, and water.

Lunch was 3 bites of chili mac, 1 bite of a brownie, and 1 bite of a muffin.

I cooked supper for my family today, and didn’t taste a lick! I made chow mein. My supper was 1 bite of garlic bread, 3 bites of chow mein, and 1 bite of brownie.

I was actually a little…[Read more]

Yes, me too Chloe!! Let’s get the fat off.

Reading back through the forums, and found another quote (by Danica):

” It’s my GPS to my destination of being thin.”

(Talking about the 5BD)

That just really stuck out to me!

Ps. The last quote I posted was by Dr Lewis… I just forgot to say so!

I just got done doing some jumping jacks and wanted to share how I feel. Amazing! I was feeling kind of weak and out of energy, but then I did 3 minutes of alternating 10 seconds each of jumping jacks and sidestepping in place. And now I feel a burst of energy! It’s like I forced my body to tap into my fat a little more! I’m excited to discover…[Read more]

Today I am feeling hungry. I was watching cooking videos and last night I had a dream that I was eating huge spoons of icecream from a tub in the freezer! Ahh! I panicked a little bit when I woke up, until I realized it was only a dream. Phew! So now I’m going to some jumping jacks, which is what I did yesterday at this time. It’ll help me keep…[Read more]

Here’s one of the MOST motivating tidbits I’ve come across while listening to the Zoom chats so far:

“If you think about our thyroid, our metabolism, for example, is all run by our thyroid gland. Our thyroid gland isn’t much bigger than a walnut. It’s an endocrine tissue, and it’s cranking out thyroid hormone. Well, fat is an endocrine tissue…[Read more]

Um I meant ‘Hurray’, not hurry! Sorry! You are so inspiring to me!

Hurry! You are so close, Chloe! I’m really excited for you!!!
