Woooo!!!! So happy to see you!!

Elizabeth, 3 pounds a week adding up will really make a big difference! We can do 3 pounds a week for sure!!

Yes! You can do this! Sending lots of good thoughts!!

Sounds like you are having a fun and busy time. Rome is on my wish list.

It is always great to see you here!!  I love your shares!

It will be so fun seeing you meet your goals!!!

Thank you, Allison!! One thing I’m finally experiencing is that the food noise is really lessening. I had a small wave about an hour or 2 ago, had some coffee, and I realized just now that I completely forgot about wanting to eat. This is huge for me. I’ve been having moments where I realize I haven’t been thinking about food for a while. I didn’…[Read more]

Sending lots of good thoughts, Elizabeth.

I have been allowing myself three 5-bite meals, and it has been working well for me. I feel like my hunger is adjusting, and I am still losing weight. Of course, my goal is to eventually get to two 5-bite meals, but for now, this is the best I can do. Occasionally, I’ll have a bite of sauerkraut in the evening or drink some pickle juice.

Great question, Elizabeth! I enjoy Michael’s story also.

I hope things are going great Ava! I come here often, even if there is no one active. The video chats help get me through cravings, and to remind me why I am doing this.

Sending lots of good thoughts!

I hope you’re staying strong, M.T., and having a great week! I understand what you mean about wanting community involvement. I check out for days in a row when I am super busy, but then often I feel like it is just me on my own here. LOL I find so much strength and inspiration by coming here, even when there aren’t any new posts—but it’s so nice…[Read more]

That is a great goal!! It does feel good to have a specific yet reasonable date and goal in mind. Something to look forward to! I look forward to seeing you reach it!!

Great to see you! I completely understand your motivation. You are in the right spot. We have a great group right now.
I am going to reach my goal by April 1st, so we  will be doing it together. I have learned I have to modify here and there and I think this is a game changer for me.

Everyone here is cheering you on!!

I did it! This morning was a challenge. This has been the first day i waited to eat until noo. At 11:30, I went for a walk to bid my time away. I think waiting til noon is going to be a game chager for me!! Whew!!!

Yes! That’s great, Sharlet! I love how you phrased that. A “close to 10 bites” day is so much better than a free-for-all day!

Another must for me is holding off on eating my first meal until at least noon. Sometimes, I tell myself I’ll eat at 10 a.m. and just have an early day, starting my longer fasting window earlier in the day. But this oft…[Read more]
