Day 62

Thanks guys, glad you’re inspired to keep going! That keeps me inspired to continue and finish as well. And onwards, I’m looking forward to the 130s!

Day 61

Another day, schedule go messed up a little but other than that, still losing, and winning! lol

Thanks guys

Day 60

2 months, still movin. GF has also started her own 5 bite journey, wants to drop 10-15 lbs just to be at a lower bmi. It’s nice to have someone to 5 bite with for a bit. Don’t bother trying to convince anybody that what you’re doing is THE WAY to go about things. Don’t waste the energy. Instead use that energy to just drop the…[Read more]

Day 59

welp 147 today, was hoping at least 145 since I was 146 on wednesday. This has got to be water fluctuations doing their thing. I just learned  that something like 1/2 a tsp of salt can make for 6 lbs of water weight which will eventually flush out with more water consumption throughout the day/week. So if it’s possible to have that much…[Read more]

Day 58

Still going, weighing in tomorrow!

Nice, you’re getting over that initial hump. I took it easy on exercise at first and just relaxed my way through the first few weeks only training when I felt comfortable enough to. Maybe that’ll work for you too! everyone is different though, good luck!

I’m hurrying lol!

Day 57

Still going! Happy Halloween y’all

I have also found this tidbit quite illuminating. Thinking of fat as this active inflammation producing process stoked my motivation to be rid of it entirely

Day 56

And onward! Today marks my longest amount of compliance. This is basically the point that I bailed out last time I gave a serious go at this diet. Welp, I feel much better this time to say the least. Only a few more lbs to go

54-55

Keeping it easy, still dropping weight.

Hell yes, good work Susan, have fun in Mexico!

Days 52 and 53

Still going. A few extra taste bites this weekend. 3 to be exact. I also went hiking with some really steep elevation and did a bit of tree climbing without much difficulty at all.

There might be a potential problem with water retention from some salty vegetable stock that I have come across. A bowl of it in the evening is nice…[Read more]

Days 50-51

I broke through to the 140s! New record for me. Just gonna keep going. At the rate I’m going it should only be about 3 weeks more before I’m fully done. But it also depends on what I’ve still got on me. I know there’s an option to drop even further, maybe even all the way to 125. But let’s get to 135 first. I’m stoked!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thanks Susan, did things get similarly easy for you at this point, 50 days or so in? I should look through your log for inspiration!</p>
Day 49

Easy peasy, seems like the scale is going slowly but I know the value of patience and the wisdom to stop checking the scale. Just need to drop the expectations, wait it out…[Read more]

Day 48

Still pushing it, schedule is the same and feels quite maintainable to the point where the difficulty seems like it’s not worth mentioning. I am inclined to try and articulate why it is things have been so much easier for me this time around (from a more psychological standpoint). I have a lot of ideas but would like to spend some time…[Read more]

Just chatted with the doc over zoom, great encouragement and excitement for the next week of weight loss. We didn’t record unfortunately, but next week, hopefully I’ll see some of y’all there.

Day 47

one extra bite again! gotta make sure I reorient my perspective to one that is a little more stubborn against varying the routine in any way, shape or form that ends up getting even an extra bite in my mouth. Anyways, so far so good otherwise. I even rode my bike about 18 miles today. working up to going both ways instead of taking the bus…[Read more]

Day 46

Got through the day with one extra bite that was ultimately unsatisfying lol. Hunger not an issue but curiosity about the taste of something just out of the oven. I just need to remember patience. I’ll taste it later, every extra bite is that much more that I will have to breathe out later.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Day 45</p>
Another good day. Did a meditation retreat for 4 hours and ate my little lunch halfway through the middle of it. It was wonderful. Combining this diet with meditation is a surprising symbiotic and beneficial relationship

Day 43

Anotherb through. Weighed in at 151.5 today. That’s about 32 lbs in 43 days. In a few more days, I will make it into the 140s, which I have never been in, in my adult life. Things have changed dramatically, my face and body look and feel completely different. I feel quite light on my feet. I can only see this getting better so going to…[Read more]
