Way to go Chloe! It’s all about consistency. You seem focused. Wishing you success. Going to try to make the call Monday

Day 5/18

I am back to being laser focused. Surprised how easy reset was after my planned July 4 indulgence. I think I actually lose better on snickers and payday than protein bars. I am planning to not eat out until I absolutely have to so I don’t even have to think about food. Today I have a day of fun planned with my sons. When they want to go…[Read more]

Day 3/18

Had another great day yesterday! Had a snickers and payday. Didn’t sleep well last night and I’m feeling a bit shaky today. Lack of sleep has made me vulnerable in the past but I’m going to drink and power through it. I want this too much. Tired of accepting less than my best. I know what it feels like to be at the top of my game and I’m…[Read more]

Great post Chloe! I looked long and hard at that all or nothing behavior that used to keep me on the diet rollercoaster. I definitely fall into going mindless while eating on special occasions but I’m not as extreme with my indulgences. I used to take whole days and weekends off with no regard of quantity and then diet strictly to mitigate the…[Read more]

Day 2/18

Did great yesterday! Back to basics and that means bars. Had a payday for lunch and snickers for dinner. Ate my first one at 12:30 and second at 5:30pm. I thought eating early would result in nighttime hunger but it didn’t. I feel like I will reset quickly since my body is used to 5 bite. I’m also drinking a lot which surely helps. Can’t…[Read more]

Day 1/18

18 days until my boyfriend’s daughter’s wedding! I already fit into my dress but I want to look even better. Today I am back on bars. Switching to snickers and may throw in paydays since people are getting more success on them. Perhaps the protein bars I eat are stalling me. I have a party in 12 days but I am NOT going off the diet until…[Read more]

As I mentioned in my post to Chloe – you both inspire me! Due to your success with snickers – I’m going back on those bars. I’ve done protein bars but wondering if the artificial stuff is stalling things for me. Took a planned meal off last night after 21 days on program. I think I might have had two non-perfect but certainly not indulgent days.…[Read more]

Great going Chloe! Both you and Samantha continue to inspire me. Keep up the great work. I’m back on track after a planned indulgent meal. Did better than I usually do. No I will will go on a perfect 5 B run. My plan is to get back to goal by July 23. Today I will be back resetting to bars.

I’m cheering you on!

Good for you Chloe! You’re doing so great. It’s so much better to keep the momentum by staying on plan. I agree. Most weight loss plans require a ton of exercise,  cutting out foods, you’re still craving food AND you lose soooo slowly. 5 bite is fast! Once we adapt, it’s not so hard.

Have a great weekend!

Day 21

Two more days until July 4. I saw a drop on the scale. I feel like there is more to come. Going to practice the gift of abstinence today when I go to a party. There will be a ton of party food but I want to continue to stay on my plan. I know that eating at the party will start my lizard brain going. I feel much more in control to not…[Read more]

Hi Samantha-

Checking in on you and sending you encouragement! This is a tough time of year.

You doing ok today?? I’m hearing crickets on this site.

Day 20

Yesterday I was good all day and then slipped for dinner. Proud of myself that I stopped with a few extra bites. Today I will do 2 bars. Going to rethink my indulge meal on July 4th. I want to be done and get to goal. SO… that means I will eat more than 5 bites but will not completely lose focus. Planning on focusing on eating whole…[Read more]

Day 19/21

Last night I did great but wasn’t perfect. I certainly did better than I ever would if I weren’t mindful of this challenge and what I was trying to do. The scale has finally moved in the right direction. No social occasions today and tomorrow so I will have much more control of my environment. I know a big whoosh is going to happen as…[Read more]

Hi Chloe –

I know what you mean. I have been stalled a while this time around but I’ve been down this road before. I know that every day I put in the work is a day I’m closer to my goal. The key is to hang in there and keep the momentum going. It’s so much harder to stop and restart. Big drop is coming!

What a fantastic job Chloe!

Thx for your support Chloe. I awoke with the same number. If I haven’t been in this position numerous times I would jump ship. Even knowing what I know, I was tempted to sabotage. Started to doubt that the two bars I had were mismarked in calories. This crazy brain. Trusting the process.

Yesterday had 2 bars and went for a hearty walk (w lots of…[Read more]

Day 17/21

ate a few extra bites. Sometimes it takes me a couple of days to get back on track. I am going to commit to bars today through Friday.  I am expecting a big drop.

So happy that you’re in a groove. Cheering you on. Keep up the momentum. That’s the fastest way to get to goal.

Hi Samantha

we have all been there.  Like Chloe said … learn from it and move on.

Overall – you’ve been doing well.
