So, Catherine: use this opportunity to LEARN so that you can avoid the same thing next time you are in a similar situation.  Also, consider having exactly 5 bites of a chocolate chip cookie as your lunch?  Nothing wrong with that.

Great, Catherine!!  Again, your mind, motivation, and intentions are in a great spot.  So, go with it, and the extraordinary benefits of your hard work will be apparent soon.  Remember, once you’ve tasted something, you’ve had it.  No need to finish extra bites of any one thing, and I don’t recommend having stackable food lying around tempting you…[Read more]

I’m happy you are ready to get it done.  Let’s do this!!  All of us together!  Best Christmas gift to yourselves ever!!!

I am so excited that you can FEEL that this is going to work.  You ARE going to be a superstar.  I can’t wait to follow your progress through this weight-loss journey!

Brilliant!  I’m so happy to have you join our community!

In regards to there being no better time than the present, right!  Might as well get started right now.  BUT, Thanksgiving–the big eating holiday of the year–is a free day.  On that day, however, I recite the same mantra as always:  taste everything, but finish nothing.

Let’s do this!!

Love it!   This is one of my favorite movies!!

Yes, diet sodas can do that.  Hot water is always safe, good, and satisfying.  And remember: it’s all about getting to the finish line, and getting there as quickly as possible.  THEN you get to figure everything out from there.

OK.  Let’s give it a go …

Elizabeth,

I have enjoyed our conversations as well!

Yes: if you don’t commit to eating perfectly, you can drag this program out for as long as you’d like.  That is why I’m all about doing the diet right and hard and finishing the program as quickly as possible.  A few key points that I want to make:

1. Nothing is more valuable than your own h…[Read more]

SO … what do you weigh this morning? (October 2, 2025)?

Wow!  What a difference!

Great.  I know it’s tough at times, and being skinny is different.  But, it’s spectacular!  SO … keep the focus all the way to the finish line.  Don’t be afraid of how your body reacts to using up your fat reserves: dizziness, hunger, headaches, etc. are only temporary, and in the end you are only dramatically improving your health.  You’ve got this!!

Great for lunch, but the key is to repeat that size for dinner.  A full bar is fine, but you’ve got to just “jump in” and get this program started.  Is it hard? YES!  But immediately after that first leap you will start to feel amazing, like … “OMG!  I’m finally doing this!  It feels AMAZING!”

This is interesting, and it just make an adjustment for people who are smaller, but this new calculation needs time to be validated.  STILL, it’s just a modification to the existing calculation, and ultimately your health doesn’t rely on a number or an estimation.  Your health relies on the amount of fat around your stomach.  SO, ultimately, th…[Read more]

Fantastic!!

Brilliant.

Hi Sarah!

First, WELCOME!!  Sorry I’m late getting to these messages–it’s been a really busy weekend for me.

All I ask is that you go AT LEAST 4 hours in between meals.  6 sounds great!

I think would be a fantastic goal.  Let’s re-evaluate when you are there!  But I love it!!

Might even get a speeding ticket!!! … laughing with tears!

We discussed this on the chat.  Thanks so much for joining us all the way from Italy!!
