Stuck to my two bars. Feels great to be back on track.

Slipped up a little yesterday but not a blow out. Planning stick bar days today and tomorrow.

I’ve learned that it’s important to stick to plan perfectly for me. Once I start taking an extra nibble it leads to more.

Have a good day everyone!

Way to go Samantha!! Yesterday I let the stress of the day get me. I didn’t completely lose it but wasn’t on point. Today I will be !!!

Whoo hoo Catherine!! Love that strategy! I used that to get to low goal. Not ready for 1/2 bar yet but maybe in a few days.

We live and learn! You’re doing great!!

Day 3 Mini-challenge

127.8

having a good day. Had my 5 B at 3:15 pm. It helps to delay my eating so I’m not as hungry for dinner or during the day for that matter. I feel like my appetite lessens when I wait to eat.

I also really savors each bite and stayed mindful of my eating. I am training my brain and body.

Hope you’re all doing well.

Day 2 of mini challenge

day 1: 128.2

day 2:128.4

mini-challenge is that I want to stay on perfect 5B and be 7-10 pounds thinner in 14 days  (now 13)

Stayed on plan yesterday and quite proud of myself that I got back on track after over eating on Friday night. I realized that I probably would be 126/127 today if I had not over-eaten. It’s tr…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: center;”>Keep it up samantha!! I essentially stayed the same too!! Big drop is coming soon</p>

Inspired by Samantha – 14 day Challenge. Although I would LOVE to love 10 pounds, I may be a bit closer to my goal. I actually want to get to 117-119. Even with perfect 5B, I probably could only lose an average of 1/2 pound a day. That’s ok – I’ll take 7 pounds.

Day 1 128.2

My plan is 2 perfect 5B of fabulous food or bars.

Thank you so much for sharing the details of your journey Samantha. You are doing so incredibly well. I used to be like a machine and adhere to the diet very strictly. I’m actually trying to get back to that place. Yesterday I ate way too much and I’m not happy with myself but today is a new day.

let’s keep on this weight loss journey. It won’t…[Read more]

Love the dress!! You are going to look great in it.

Wow!! You have inspired me. You almost lost 10 pounds in two weeks. That’s what I need to do. I lost focus last night. I need to get right back up and be perfect. Would you mind sharing what you’re eating? Are you eating bars or food? Are you drinking any beverages besides water and black coffee?

keep it going!!

I understand. People feel “shame” for all sorts of things. It’s so horrible how we do that to ourselves. How does sitting in “shame” help us? It’s such a wasted emotion. Believe me — I’ve felt it over and over. We have to release that feeling – that’s our work.

Hang in Samantha! Weight loss is not linear. Some days we gain and then other days we can see a drop of a few pounds.

I agree. It’s so hard to stop our “monkey mind” from thinking about past eating struggles. We need to forgive and forget the past. It’s irrelevant. Our success is all ahead of us – one day at a time. One moment at a time. One choice at a time.

I completely agree w everything u said. Just know that everyone is addicted to food. There is a book called the pleasure trap that talks about how salt, oil and fat are addictive – Basically everything that makes food tasty.. It does help to train ourselves to eat smaller portions which takes practice. I am making it through each day but it’s o…[Read more]

It is fascinating to see how people respond so differently to different foods and ways of eating. I love the conversation keep it going.

Hi Linda-

this is the fastest weight loss plan out there. You are going to be so glad you did this. Losing weight is ever easy but when you lose fast there is an excitement that helps you build momentum to push you through. After 3-5 days toe hunger and cravings will plummet and you’ll be adhering to a simple plan. I’ll be here to cheer you along the way.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. I don’t agree with the blood type explanation. I have read the book and actually went to the nutritionist years ago who geared meal plans to blood type. I think there’s a healthy way and unhealthy way to eat plant based but for me…portions matter. I think he knows a healthy way to eat and inclu…[Read more]

Day 2

great chat w dr Lewis last night! I am pumped and ready to go. Yesterday was a perfect 2 bar day. Today will be as well. Going to give myself the flexibility to shift to 5B of food if I choose. So happy that I slept well. Going to the gym today because I want to keep up my strength training. I know I’m resetting hunger stat so if I feel l…[Read more]
