I think that’s going to be most sustainable long term and prevent rebound.

I’m continuing to lose. After more than 35 years I actually feel free. I’m willing to but up with stomach cramps just to feel free of food noise.

My heaviest weight was when I was a teenager, 160 pounds, I’m shirt so roughly 60…[Read more]

The medications can be very dehydrating.

I literally cannot eat more than 5 bites for each meal. I’m lucky that I only need a small dose so far.

I have lost 5 pounds the first week, after not being able to get weight to shift since my sprained ankle. I tried Plenity…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your responses

Alison in particular thank you. It really helps with your perspective.

Onward.

I’ve noticed that some people that have done your program lost weight and then regained it all back and even added some extra weight.

Any ideas for long term?

How long can I stay on bars?

Inspiring!

December 28-birthday party 10 bite dinner

All other days aiming for regular 5 bite program

Once holidays are over it will be good

I will weigh again next Friday, access to scale.

I’m hoping for 2 pounds down.

I’ll be confident once I’ve completed an entire week on this. I haven’t had any side effects (was a bit nervous about it.)

Day 1 Restart-Down 1 pound, not bad. We’ll see what happens day

Then slowly do half dose and eventually wean off.

I’ve been struggling. I can’t take phentermine.

Plenity used to require a prescription, but no longer, has been cleared by the FDA.

It’s supposed to help you feel fuller longer. I thought I would give it a try (not cheap, runs about $100 a month with no insurance, but I really need the weight off).

I’ll let you know how it works…[Read more]

I’ve gone through a LOT of his entries. He averaged around 4 pounds a week towards the later half of his weight loss.

I would say for a lot of us this may be realistic, especially if you are on the shorter size.

Just watched an old YouTube video with Gregory Mantell, good stuff.

Unfortunately haven’t gotten to goal, can’t really justify the cost, too bad insurance doesn’t cover.

Enjoyed talking to everyone.

I’m feeling reeling nervous like the weight will never come off.

I’ve reduced lunch to 1/2 a bar.

Apparently new guidelines are being updated. It’ll mostly effect us short people. I’m only 5 foot.

It feels validating. When I reached the higher range of the so called healthy bmi I still felt over fat.

There’s more pressure to eat.

anorexia. Do you have a doctor that has your history over many years? If you have been around this weight for many years, and became pregnant around this weight then  you just may have a tendency to be naturally thin.

I’m thinking I need the structure having the set volume be a bar until I get the hungerstat dialed in.

Good luck everyone.

If I get to goal I’d like to remain on the slimming station just to help everyone out.

It’s hard to keep trying, I need to see a few extra people that…[Read more]

Thanks. I’ve tried it and it works a bit better than coffee. Sometimes the black coffee can bit a bit too acidic, depending on the brand or if  I’m on the road and needing to get it from a coffee shop.

I just need to make sure I have water on hand.

Great job!

Results from Day 1: -1 pound

I hope this helps. It’s been 4 years of dealing with hormonal issues that may be resolving now.

It’s just too bad it’s taken this long to resolve. I’ve been forced to go outside of Kaiser HMO. Kaiser is ok if you have a broken leg, I…[Read more]

Will my lipids go down in that time? Reason I am asking is because it seems some people noticed a rise at first when doing the diet.

Thank you!

Let’s do this!

It’s a bit lower than mine, but want my health to be better
<p style=”text-align: left;”></p>

I need to put  in 7 hard weeks so I can be healthy and turn things around. (Apparently my thyroid is low, in the red. Meeting with my doctor tomorrow to go

over blood work).

Need to have tunnel vision.

Wish me luck.
