You cannot be totally committed sometimes.

Everyone is doing great! Even little slips can be seen as a learning experience and not set us back if we just keep at it. I am in charge of all cooking and meal preparation. I can make 20 meals without even thinking about being tempted but that 21st meal will take all my strength not to eat. That happened today at lunch and I ate one perfect bite…[Read more]

I’m humming along. My hunger stay is set. I’m doing bars for a week per Dr.’s orders. I’m eating for less than a dollar a day because my 5 bites is only half a bar. Lose weight and save money doing it. What’s not to love!

Leona,

If you need to eat at work, choose the breakfast bar. You do need to eat dense food at first when you’re getting used to less volume. Don’t be afraid of hunger though. It’s going to happen. Maybe buy some bars to keep at your desk so you have what you like at hand. Also drink some water right before but not right after. The water causes…[Read more]

Thats great to hear. I’ll log in when I get home. I put in my weight information when I joined. Its not showing on the message footer. I don’t know why. I’ve lost 10 lbs so far.

Thank you for your reply. As I go through life in this body, I find that I’m more sensitive to things than others. In most cases I can take half doses of medicine and have them be effective. I really wanted stimulants to work for weight loss and tried lots of them over the years. Now at almost 50, I’ve finally decided to just go with it instead of…[Read more]

I’m going to be hard pressed to make it to the chats right at 6. I take my boys to 6pm practice at the pool for water polo. I try not to drop them too early or they’ll get into some mischief before the coach arrives. I’m wondering if I can join late – say 5 minutes late. I understand if I’m the only participant, that Doctor may have given up by…[Read more]

I wrote this on my scale: “It’s better to live a life of discipline than a life of regret”

Tao,

Thanks! It’s nice to have such a warm welcome.  I do know about the water thing, what I experience is an urgency related to the irritation to my bladder that is caused by the caffeine. Once I’m through the reset, I really don’t need any help with hunger. I’ll be fine. I am curious though if anyone else has this issue.

Happy Belated Birthday Dr. Wishing you a wonderful year!!!!

So sorry sharon !! Hope he is ok!!!

Day 7/7!!

That went by SOOOOO quickly! So glad I chose to buckle down and do it!

Got my mojo back. It’s like riding a bike!!

Whoo Hoo!! Bring on the weekend! So set up to deal with any temptation.

Day 2 of P so I am still bloated. I know that I will suddenly drop an extra pound or two in a day. Best benefit is the dramatic decrease in appetite…[Read more]

Happy happy birthday to a great man!! You have positively impacted my life and so many others. What a gift!!

How is everyone doing? I only lost 3 but have Period so number is not accurate. I will likely drop more than usual in the next few days.

Having second bar soon!!

Let’s close up day 6 with a bang!!

Bring on Day 7

Gayle

Day 6/7!

Wt: 123.4 (whoosh!)

I knew this would happen. I usually gain or hold water (when dieting) when PMS. I expect that the scale will continue to go down more soon. Either way this has been a great progress to regain control of food. Little hunger and appetite yesterday. Hopefully, today will be the same. I have a very busy day so food will…[Read more]

Leitileti-

Bars ONLY for me and YES perfect! No extra bites. Getting my period. I will certainly have a big whoosh soon.

This is what happens to me.

Wishing everyone a great day!!

Wow! Look how far along we are. Feeling reset.

So busy today but so far so good!!

How am I not hungry? How am I NOT tired with 3 hours of sleep.

Miles to go before I sleep.

Will check in later.

Stay strong and committed.
