Great work Samantha! You can see by the rapid weight loss that once you’ve lost the weight and put in the work, your body responds quickly once you return to diet. It is such a mindset. I find that it’s super important to keep momentum until we get to the finish line. No one knows better than me that we all slip and life gets in the way. It just…[Read more]

Day 6

Doing really well still and staying hydrated. Yesterday I went to a trampoline park and jumped for an hour and a half, no energy issues at all. Talked with Dr. Lewis yesterday on the chat. Some takeaways from what I can remember:

Usually people stick with the diet if they actually want to get skinny. Sounds like an obvious thing but I…[Read more]

Day 5

Thanks all, weighed in at 182 today, 6 lbs down in 4-5 days, not bad! I walk about 13 miles a day for my job 5 days a week and didn’t have any energy difficulties even on my first 3 days back dieting. Usually those first 3 days are the hardest in terms of hunger and energy weirdness as the body is figuring out how to switch over. That…[Read more]

Day 9/21

good morning all! Can’t believe how fast the time is going. Got through a challenging weekend. Did very well.

plan: bar for lunch and bar for dinner.

Catch u later. Busy day which is always helpful.

Great job Samantha!!

Welcome back Chloe! This is the only diet that has ever worked for me too.  Glad you’re readjusting so well.

see you on the way!

Days 1-4

Hey all,  wow it has been over a year and half since I last dropped off! I went through a really difficult career adjustment and lost all my focus for dieting but I knew to come back eventually, having experienced dramatic change pre-pandemic. Anyways, looking back at my old posts and seeing the effort and thought I put in to get to a…[Read more]

Samantha – I have so been there.

I am also tired of working so hard and letting a little comment or discomfort derail me.

Let’s do this!

I’m going hard till I get to goal. Weighing in helps with accountability. We cannot expect the scale to always show us what we want to see. Sometimes there are stalls and then big drops.

Let’s check in day…[Read more]

Day 8/21

i haven’t checked in but I have been super perfect!! Decreased appetite and hunger have sent it. I love this feeling when I don’t feel like I’m a slave to cravings and food no longer has a power over me. Yesterday was a social event and I chose not to eat one bite. Today I’m having a barbecue at home and I have planned my perfect five bi…[Read more]

Day 6/21

yesterday was a great day!! I feel  renewed sense of commitment. I’m spending a lot of time on the mental focus portion of this process. When I mentally focus and I don’t “feed” emotions, this process becomes easy.

I am so tired of making excuses for over eating. I am always going to have social events and instead of focusing on the f…[Read more]

day 5/21

Yesterday was a bit tough but didn’t go off the rails. I’ll call it a maintenance day. Today will be 5 bite. I have to keep reminding myself that it’s the fastest way to skinny and healthy.

how are you all doing today??

Day 3/21

Great day so far!

Hi Samantha

sounds like you’re in his zone! I remember the feeling of getting into my groove and wanting to just get it done. Once you’re in that zone it really doesn’t matter what you eat you just wanna get to the finish line. Bars have always been helpful to detach from food and ensure that extra bites don’t creep in- or less likely to creep I…[Read more]

Feeling excited about how today is going. I really feel like I am ready to COMMIT again. I was waffling around and now am back in that familiar “warrior” headspace. Stayed busy at work, took a walk and caught up with friends, listened to great tunes – all which allowed me to delay my eating until 2:30pm. Delaying my eating really seems to help.…[Read more]

Day 2/21

Good morning everyone! Made it through a crazy traveling day. Today will be another successful day as I reset.

I am reminding myself of why brought me success in the past. Sticking on plan and NOT breaking the momentum. I’ve been making excuses too long and my weight has crept up. I miss being thin and I will be back there very s…[Read more]

Great work Debra! So smart to hydrate and stay away from the food table. It’s such a great feeling to be able to turn away from food and stick to our plan. So empowering.

Well I’ve fallen off big time!

Too many vacations and social eating. It has to end.

I’ve decided to head back to the land of NO EXCUSES and FOCUS.

I will do 21 days of perfect 5 B eating. Hoping that gets me back to goal.

Tomorrow is Day 1. Going to July 4th. 21 perfect days. No scale. Starting at around 130.

Come join me!!

Congrats Samantha! You are doing so incredibly well.

I love the idea of focusing on 30 days of perfect 5-bite days. That’s how I originally lost my weight.

keep on!  You are inspiring me to restart. I have been doing too much social eating. Need to get back to my focused eating. It’s honestly not worth eat. I think the key is to build mome…[Read more]
