Day 17/21

ate a few extra bites. Sometimes it takes me a couple of days to get back on track. I am going to commit to bars today through Friday.  I am expecting a big drop.

So happy that you’re in a groove. Cheering you on. Keep up the momentum. That’s the fastest way to get to goal.

Hi Samantha

we have all been there.  Like Chloe said … learn from it and move on.

Overall – you’ve been doing well.

Day 13

Pushing on, I don’t really expect weight to drop much faster than 3-5 lbs per week moving forward if my past attempts are anything to go off of but that’s still incredible, Living the lifestyle. I know in one way I’m in the sort of waiting/patience phase but to make this a long time life practice, (where I end up eating less in general) I…[Read more]

It’s okay! Every mistake is another piece of data to learn from. It’s important not to freak out and give in to the “ah what the hell” mentality. Good luck!

Day 16/21

Well rested and ready for the day. Having a bar for lunch and 5 bite meal for dinner. 7 days till challenge ends and I’m committed to sticking to my plan 100 %. Now that I’m back I’m my home turf it will be easy. How is everyone else doing?

Great job Samantha!! You’ve been losing a lot per day for most women. Your body is still losing weight. Keep with the process

Amazing job Chloe! You’re right – no diet could be faster.

keep up the great work!!!

Day 12

Down to 176 today. that’s 12 lbs in 12 days, not bad! I expected less so it’s nice to drop a little more than usual. It would have taken me months (6-12 weeks) to get here again with a more 1-2 lbs/week conservative strategy. Looking forward to dropping out of the 170s again, Maybe by the end of week!

Day 11

Another day another pound. no big insights today, just excited for weigh in tomorrow.

Day 10

@SamanthaJames Thanks! Weighing in Monday morning before the zoom call so it gives me that much more incentive to do well on the weekend too.

Still doing really well, not too much discomfort at all. I’m using this time to prepare my mind for when I get to the maintenance phase. I realized yesterday that in the back of my mind I have this…[Read more]

Day 12/21

I was traveling yesterday and staying w family. This poses a lot of challenges. Unlike other trips, I’m happy to say that I did not snack or touch food despite the abundance of food around me and the endless eating around me. I might have had a few extra bites at a restaurant but super proud of myself. Today I will stay focused. H…[Read more]

Day 9

Moving along really smoothly. Things that seem to be different this time around:

No orthostatic hypotension thus far. I would attribute this to really staying on top of my hydration, no more than 3 cups of water per hour. Definitely having a little less than that. And coconut water which doesn’t have much in it. I might experiment with not…[Read more]

Happy Friday! a few more day for official weigh in

Day 8

Pushing forward, definitely feeling that ketosis-y burn. The body just feels different but still able to function really well, hard to describe. Got through my route yesterday with a little pep in my step. I’m excited to see what another 10 lbs of loss will do for me in terms of my job getting easier. Getting excited about cooking different…[Read more]

Nice, just gotta keep remembering why you’re doing it, keep the motivations in mind.

Nice insight, just focus on the process and it’ll come off

@gspeech yes exactly! My past experience is proof enough

Day 7

The last 3 days have been incredibly easy even though I had work off. I was concerned about having to deal with unscheduled time, being at home where the food is. Instead I just got really interested in my little projects and had hardly any thought of food or hunger. As I head back…[Read more]

Day 11/21

Sorry I’ve been out of touch – computer/wifi issues. I’ve tried several times to send emails with no success.

Anyway – I’m doing great. I feel so much more in control with food and super committed to getting back to goal. Scale is being stubborn but my bites are spot on. My body works a bit differently. I drop weight every few days…[Read more]

So happy to hear you doing so well and your re-found commitment! I’m right back with you. Dispel all doubt. I’ve also been distracted with nay-sayers and what if… WE KNOW that this is the only diet that has worked for us.
