Thank you Alaska Gal!

I’m loving it!

Thank you JulieNom!

I’m not any better than other people, unfortunatly.

I got hungrier and hungrier after my meals, and I ate more than I had planned to eat.

It’s possible that the first slightly bigger meal today (5 bites instead of 4) activated my hunger.

Perhaps it was also the thought of having arrived at my goal that brought with it excitement that I got caught up in.

I felt that hunger was brewing over…[Read more]

I decided to have five bites for my first meal today.

For the past five days I’ve had four bites per meal.

I feel quite full now after my five bites.

This morning the scale says I’m at the goal.

I can pinch around the belly button and also a bit above and a bit below the belly button pinch.

There is subcutaneous fat there.

Not sure what to do next.

Should I carry on for a bit longer and see what will happen?

You did it!

Thank you JulieNom! It’s certainly exciting – the days have gone by quickly!

Interesting! It sounds like you’re finding what you really like for your five bites on a meal by meal basis. I’m impressed with how well you’re doing at work!

Food lasts a long time on this diet!

Thank you Dr Lewis!

I appreciate your input.

I’ll wait at least a month into stabilization in maintenance to go for a lab test.

One foot in front of the other until then!

Hi again old thread!

Questions for Dr Lewis:

When is the right time for me to have my thyroid medicine updated? I’ve had a thyroidectomy (post thyroid papillary cancer) and my thyroid medicine is at a certain dose. Should I go have a check-up to see if the dose needs lowering, now that my body mass is smaller? Should I wait for a few weeks past…[Read more]

Wonderfully done! It’s interesting to notice all these changes in out thinking and behaviour. Thank you for sharing!

Congratulations!

Congratulations! A new week to work through – we know how to do this!

Nicely done JulieNom!

Congratulations on feeling free of food noise!

I’m skipping bubbly water altogether. The gas feels harsh on my stomach. I love natural spring water with nothing added. That water feels soft and soothing to my stomach.
