Right.  Whatever distractions you had are in the past.  Done.  Now we start fresh and new … and GO!!!

Correct.  Losing weight doesn’t cure all cases of hypothyroidism–losing weight doesn’t a guarantee a cure for any single disease (but the correlation with multiple diseases is VERY strong).  But the odds are (don’t we live in a world of odds, good vs. bad, benefits vs. risks?) that your hypothyroidism will improve to the point that you don’t n…[Read more]

Brilliant!  Absolutely brilliant, Chloe!!

I’m glad that your doctor discovered this, but the cure for hypothyroidism is to get thin.  The extra fat on the body suppresses the thyroid gland’s production of thyroid hormone.  Certainly Synthroid is good for you now–until you lose enough weight that your own thyroid starts to take over again.

Absolutely.  You sleep efficiency is much better.  You simply require less sleep to feel completely rested, and you have more energy throughout the day!  Great!!

I have to echo what Becca said: any loss is a win.  And as you keep focusing on your spectacular skinny future and as you keep working to make this diet work for you, you will start to see better and better results.

For sure!  Don’t stop!  You WILL find your way, but you need to be willing to keep trying to find it.  I believe in you, Itsme!

Another good option are PayDay bars.  They are filled with lots of peanuts.  I like ’em!

A single diet coke a day is fine.

EXACTLY right, Chloe!  You need to not freak out when you body reacts to your eating less.  Feeling different is normal and expected as your body starts pulling it’s energy from the fat (converts fat to glucose).  This is all good, and it means that you are headed to a very VERY healthy place.  Please don’t freak out, but go with it.  Finding ways…[Read more]

That’s a wonderful story, Becca!  You’ve found within you what I want everyone to find within themselves: a true desire to be thin, and a thirst for challenge–a challenge to prove to yourself and to others that you CAN have just 5 bites and feel amazing doing it.  I want you all to want to constantly challenge yourselves and push the envelope o…[Read more]

Great job, Rachel!!!

Oooh–be careful with milk.  Milk is designed for youth, not for adults.  In fact, most adults become completely intolerant to it at some point in their life.  It contains a ton of calories.  Try and avoid it as much as possible.  Water is always the right answer.

I too can’t wait for your weigh-in tomorrow!  This is exciting!!!   Power through the rest of the day and evening with no more than 5 bites.  (Assuming you’ve already had lunch.)

YES!!!  You are getting this!!!  I am so excited fro you, It’sMe!!!  But you need to power through the next couple of days.  PLEASE don’t deviate from the plan.  Night time is the hardest for most people.  Think about the spectacular benefits of being thin, and find a way to eat only a bar for dinner.  Good will!!

Minimally.  It turns out that even diet soda contains carbon, but a minimal amount.  the only think you drink that is “calorie-free” is water.  Its the carbon that gives water color, taste, texture (if any), aroma, etc.  But if you burn off the water in a diet coke in a frying pan you can see the residual carbon that remains.  While it is only…[Read more]

Hi Rachel!  It sounds like things are going exactly as you had planned them to.  Stick to your guns.  Don’t deviate from your plan, especially now that the hunger has gone away.  Trust me on this:  Don’t mess with the system.  You are perfectly in the groove, and you MUST stay the course all the way through to the finish line.  No excuses, and do…[Read more]

Also, when things are slow, this is a great opportunity for you to work one-on-one with me and with those here who have had amazing success and are very inspirational.  We may not be many, but we are powerful!

Indeed!  But just think … Shelly and Itsme … You guys can be the next one to inspire others just the same.  It’s all amount of desire and will.  Stick to the program–you guys absolutely can–and the results will follow.  Let’s do this!!

Hi Itsme!!

I am on every day, but I’ve been so busy today that I haven’t gotten to the community until now.  Welcome!  Please fill out the weight tracker info.  When you do, I will be notified, I’ll respond, and we go.  Sound good?!
