Right.  Being back at this weight–your lowest ever–every pound you lose in the next 11 days is just icing on the cake.  Really good icing.  SO, give everything you’ve got.  Eat nothing but 5 bites twice a day.  The second you start to crave a sixth bite ask yourself, would you rather have that sixth bite here or at the wedding?  Think of how m…[Read more]

Right.  The only meal that matters is the next one.  Focus on perfecting your next meal.  That is ALL you need to worry about at this time.  “Hmmm.  How am I going to eat my next meal in five perfect bites.”  That’s the game.  That’s everything.  

Once again:  If at first you don’t succeed (or at second, third, forth, etc.), TRY, TRY AGAIN!!!  

Great!

And Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all you wonderful mothers out there!!!    

Great job, Gilli!

Yes, I will be at the chat tonight, but I don’t know if anyone else will show, SO:

I recommend that you transition to fast-food.  But be perfect.  Fast food doesn’t come wrapped up in a perfect 5-bite size.  So COUNT YOUR BITES.  Make sure each bite is the same size as one fifth of a Snickers bar.  Other than that, just enjo…[Read more]

Great plan, Susan!!  

I absolutely LOVE your will power, Gilligirl!  Love it!  When is weigh-in day?

Great.  So, how did it go yesterday?

Hi Slolady!  Welcome!

I would LOVE IT if you would start off with a Snickers twice a day for a week.  NOTHING else.  Water and coffee/tee and moderate diet drinks OK, but no other liquids.  What do you think?

Right.  If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.  If you are committed to getting skinny, you WILL get there.  

Sounds great, BK.  So today is “tomorrow.”  Did you have just a Snickers for lunch today?  Will you have just another Snickers for dinner tonight, saving “regular” food for Sunday?

Great!!  

Great!    

Hi Marie!

I am sorry about the diagnosis, but it should be somewhat comforting to know that this is a very curable disease.

But once again: the #1 risk factor for cancer is excess weight on the body.  Losing weight also helps dramatically in the treatment of all cancer.  So now, more than ever, following through on your commitment to get s…[Read more]

Welcome Gilligirl!  I love those ideas!  We are going to have fun with this!!  

Ari – I feel that you don’t fully understand the significance of this project that you’ve started for yourself.   This is a massive undertaking that will change your life in unspeakable ways.  You will benefit in too many ways to count.

Your mother’s fear…[Read more]

Great.  Good luck!

Right Ari!  Congrats on getting off on a good start.  An occasional Coke Zero is fine, but don’t overdo them.  Still, I rather that than extra bites of food.

Right–get rid of all the candy in your house.  Unless, of course, they are for meals.  There will be plenty of opportunities to snack when you are finished with this race.

I strongly reco…[Read more]

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, Susan!!  

Beautiful.  What did you do with the rest of the dinner?

Hello Slimming!  Welcome!  I can’t wait to watch you move through this process!

I love your frame of mind.  The trick for you is going to be dealing with social pressures to eat.  I think for now the best thing is to isolate yourself from them.  Do everything possible to avoid eating with other people, and stick to your bars for each meal when…[Read more]
