It depends a bit on how heavy you are when you start, I’m not obese but I have managed to loose around 10 pound in a week, I have not tried to do it perfectly for a month, if I had then I probably would have lost too much weight, I believe I read a post on the forum, about someone who lost 20 pounds in one week, so let’s just get going 

I did ok’ish, I did have a few days where I ate normal because we were invited out, but I still lost a bit of weight which is ok, because normally I would have gained a lot in a weekend like that, so any loss is great for me

Welcome , Yes you should be avle to loose 30 pounds in one month if you stay committed, maybe even more depending on your starting weight 

Thanks 

I have just finished reading Madeleines journal, great reading, I wish there was more, her determination to get skinny and stay skinny is really inspiring 

Today I have a cold, but I have decided to turn it into something good, the food is not going to taste or smell as good as it usually does so why eat more of it, it is not going to be satisfying me, so I can just have my 5 bites x2, more is not going to do anything for me.

For lunch I weighed out 56g, just to keep my bites under control, 56g of…[Read more]

How are you doing Beth, are you still hanging on, I’ve been a bit up and down, but I’m determined not to give up!

Thanks letileti, that’s a great way to think of it, when I do eat more than I intended I really don’t think it’s the hunger driving me, it’s probably more the act of eating I feel it last to short I just want to enjoy it for a little longer, food is just so satisfying, but I want to fight this battle and learn to control my portions, so I can be…[Read more]

Thanks dr. Lewis that’s so true I feel I let myself down, for a few extra bites, the food lying in front of me just looks so tempting it’s like it’s just jumping from the plate and into my mouth, but I should stop making excuses and exemptions for myself, nobody is forcing food down my throat I put it there myself.

Ok, let’s be determi…[Read more]

I’m done for today, I did ok’ish, probably 7-8 bites x2, and I do feel to eat not because I’m hungry just because it’s enjoyable I guess. I had a piece 4 bites of toast with different toppings and 1-2 bites of chocolate, and then I had 5 bites of chicken with potatoe and salad for dinner 1 bite of apple pie and a few bites of chocola…[Read more]

Well done for stopping yourself after the sandwich, it can be so difficult to not give up when we feel we have failed, today is a new day let’s be perfect, and even though you had the sandwich your weight will still be lower Monday than it was last Monday as long as you keep going 

You’re really going  strong letileti, when I was pregnant I was too tired and too sick to care about how much I ate and ended up gaining 20kg, so much better to control it like you’re do, then you don’t have that to worry about after giving birth, and you can be one of those women who leave hospital after giving birth in your pre-pregnancy clothe…[Read more]

Thanks Beth

Oh yes I feel quite empowered too, I would love to eat don’t get me wrong, but it’s not so much because of hunger more because it’s so rewarding to sit down and have a nice big meal with family or friends and then 5 bites just seems like nothing, but I just have to take it day by day and hour by hour and try not to think about what I miss out o…[Read more]

Thanks Beth, you are on a roll yourself, you’ll be done in no time!

I love doing snickers, but weekend and holidays I just sometimes feel to eat different things a bit of this and a bit of that, but it takes a bit more awareness because you need to be aware to make sure the bites are not to big and that you don’t loose count. For lunch I had som…[Read more]

Well done Beth, you are so focused, 3 pounds is great that’s what most people loose in a week on any other diet

Dr Lewis you are right but I just don’t seem to be able to stop it, yesterday we had some friends over for a dinner party and we cooked some really nice food and my plan was to have 5 bites for main and 5 bites for dessert, but…[Read more]

Oh yes I am chomping on gum constantly, at work we have a big bowl of gum where we can just help ourselves, and I grab a handful every time I walk past, and coffee I drink in buckets 

Oh yes, it’s so much easier when you’re not alone doing this let’s get skinny, missing out on food is only temporary, when we’re skinny we will eat again
