Thank you Dana!

If I keep losing close to this rate, I will be out of the 200’s in only 2 weeks! I’m really excited!!

I’m ready for day 8!

I always have a hard time when my schedule gets messed up too much, it’s one of my worst faults! So great job sticking to it! Your progress is so encouraging!

I lost 12 pounds!!!

From 227.8 to 215.6! 101 lbs left to go.

No wonder my clothes are fitting better.

I hope you all have a great day!

Hello!!!

I’m glad you’re here!

I love how you said ‘my body is not a trash can’. That is so true! I had to laugh too because the idea is funny!

I hope you have a really good day!

Day 7 was perfect!

I ate a protein bar at lunch; it tasted a little weird honestly but it was delicious at the same time!

For supper I ate biscuits and gravy with my family. 5 bites!

I think this routine will work well, because I like having something ready to go and simple for lunch, and getting to eat supper at the table with…[Read more]

I know, it’s hard to STAY out of that kitchen! I still struggle with it when everyone else gets a bedtime snack. But I go read this forum or watch the chats.

That sounds fun! I’ve always wanted to be a writer actually.

Thanks, Dana! Today is going great so far, no big hunger issues, just settling back into my routine.

I think the cycle thing could be caused by hormones; I’m reposting a quote I posted last week because I like the way Dr Lewis said it so much:

Here’s one of the MOST motivating tidbits I’ve come across while listening to the Zoom cha…[Read more]

Thank you Dana!

*Warning: Risk of TMI*

Um, a non-scale victory here: I have really irregular cycles, partly because I’ve always been overweight, and probably partly inherited. Anyway, I haven’t had a cycle since March, and I started today. So that is exciting to me!

Hopefully once I get to my goal weight it will all stabilize! I…[Read more]

That’s wonderful!

I agree… Trying to convince someone to do it doesn’t work! They have to want the results for themselves.

I hope you have a great day!

Welcome Sally!!!

I’m so glad you are here! It can be hard to get started, but if you stick to it for a few days it becomes your ‘new normal’ and gets easy!

I hope you have a wonderfully successful day!

We can do this!

Day 6= perfect! Hooray!

For supper, we had some bean soup and cornbread and carrots. I was holding a baby while I ate, so nobody even noticed how much I was eating! I just ate 5 bites from my bowl and laid my napkin over the rest.

I drank about 3 energy drink mixes; I think the caffeine would equal about 2 cups of coffee. I also had…[Read more]

Good job! You are doing so well!

I just ate lunch. I ate it later than usual and I got really irritable over SILLY things.

The other day when I ate a late supper the same thing happened, so I’m going to have to plan better. I think if I keep those energy drink mixes handy, and eat a bar at my usual time, then I will feel less grouchy and mean.

Yesterday I ate late…[Read more]

I got some bars yesterday, so this week I’m going to eat mostly bars. They are shorter than a Snickers, but my bites are smaller so that’s great. I got the meal replacement/protein/keto kinds of bars, because I got kinda tired of candy bars. And I’ve been wanting to try the ‘diet’ bars for ages!

Looking forward to a perfect day 6!

Thanks!

I DID IT!!!

I was perfect! It’s so nice to know that I can do the 5bd even on a long, social, food-centered day!

We ate pizza for lunch. I ate 5 bites.

For supper they made a special meal of tacos from the fresh meat, and I didn’t want to be ‘picky’ or rude so I took slightly bigger bites than usual and finished my whole…[Read more]
