Welcome Ari!

Thank you for sharing your story. You are going to do great things here. I hope that when your family and friends see you losing weight that they will be supporting you!!

My advice would be to give in to the science of this diet and allow your body to live off of your reserves. The first 3 days will be uncomfortable as your body…[Read more]

Out of exhaustion, I forgot to come back in and report on my day.

I had planned on fasting all day which I did not accomplish and I am bummed about that.

I did however stay under 10 bites for the day. Which is good. 

I drank so much water trying to avoid eating that I feel very bloated even today! My eyes are real puffy too.  I e…[Read more]

The gum is working great! Had one piece when I gave them breakfast and another piece when I gave them lunch. We went for a nice walk to get out of the house in between.

Now they are napping and I am too wired from the caffeinated gum and 4 cups of coffee to sleep! Going to read the good book….

So today is Wednesday, the  day that I babysit my 3 year old twin granddaughters. This is the day I most often slip because I prepare 3 meals plus snacks for them. Plus, unlike my house, there is delicious food every where. My son and his wife always invite me to eat whatever I want, and although I know I am 5 biting, the temptation is always…[Read more]

We always try to justify why we should have a little bit more to eat. But, when we don’t, we will always say thank God I didn’t give into that feeling. We will never regret it. – Dr Lewis

How are you doing Amy?? 

You got this Marie! The food will always be there! Think of how amazing you will look in all the photos to be taken at the wedding when you are at your goal. You will love looking back on such a beautiful day with no regrets!!

Had a great chat with Dr. Lewis last night! I feel very strong going in to today and going in to the home stretch of my weight loss. I have 25 (ish) pounds to go and my goal date is 25 days away!! 

I should be able to lose a pound a day but I have not been able to!! Going to fast when ever I possibly can ! Going to 5 bite once a day when I…[Read more]

Great Results!!! This diet is the best way to go!!!

“There will always be holidays and celebrations. And by doing this diet and getting thin you’re extending your life and therefore extending the amount of holidays and celebrations you’ll be able to enjoy.” – Dr.Lewis

I love this quote going into this weekend. Another celebration, my mom’s birthday. But my big goal is memorial day. That’s wh…[Read more]

I lost 4 pounds this week and wonder how much more I would have lost without the plantain incident! 

I didn’t get on the scale but figure it probably set me back a pound or two.

I could have lost a pound that day and instead I probably gained a pound!

As I approach my goal date, I really have to prevent any kind of set back! I si…[Read more]

Slipped up Monday night and drank some beer. And then had too many plantain chips.

Here is a true life example of a slippery slope in steps:

1. I’ll just have a sip or two of my husbands beer

2. Wow! That’s good. I deserve to have my own.

3. 16 Oz beer  & empty stomach = good buzz

4. Now I have the munchies, I haven’t had anything to eat fo…[Read more]

“The extra bites are just as much about letting yourself down then anything else. It’s a slippery slope and where do you draw the line? Once you’re feeling down, you’re going to continue down that slope. So don’t even go there.”- Dr. Lewis

“Just as quickly as you can get up right now and walk across the room and turn on the light switch, you can decide that quickly to do this diet perfectly. It’s that simple. Just do it.” – Dr. Lewis
