After only doing a half a day of the diary I can tell that something is amiss. There is no way that I could have gained over a pound between getting dressed this morning at 8:00 am and having my first snicker bar at noon!! . I Know exactly what I’ve had to drink and that is : 3 cups of coffee and 16.9 ounces of spring water. I’ve had abs…[Read more]

Ok sounds good ! Will do tomorrow.

So I’ve decided to take a slightly different approach. I am still doing only bars twice a day. But, I am going to weigh myself every day to try to figure out what the heck is going on and why my pace is so much slower than it was last time.

I am less physically active than I was in 2014-2015. Back then, I was managing a hotel and was constantly o…[Read more]

Hi lm12!

As Dr. Lewis says:

“For the first few days you just have to get over the hump! Once you get over the hump then you just have to hang on. And each day that you hang on he gets easier. To hang on.” 

Also, this is something I posted last month that might be helpful for your first few days.

I think it’s great for you to have a plan…[Read more]

So the results are in, after a perfect week. I lost 3 pounds. Yes,  it’s better than staying the same or gaining! But, it’s less than I felt it would be. I feel much lighter, my clothes are much looser, not sure why it’s not translating on the scale??

Anyway, not going to let it discourage me. I lost 3 pounds the previous week, eating regular…[Read more]

I moved the above post to the Quotes thread. I had put it here by mistake. No option to delete it.,

Dr. Lewis on throwing away food….

“Throwing away the $10 lasagna after taking five bites is a $10 investment in your health.”

I really like this quote because it’s reminder that the real waste of extra food is eating it and prolonging the achievement of our goal. That is waste! Wasting all the time and energy that it took to get us this far. Ha…[Read more]

1.I was always told that calorie restriction was unhealthy, but then you  explained that this is the diet that gastric bypass patients are  put on by beriatric doctors all over the world to keep their weight off. This made me question, how unhealthy could it be?? It was a life changing realization that I can lose weight the same way with out the r…[Read more]

Do you have an Aldi near you?

“Every day of taking extra bites is a time bomb ticking toward metabolic disease brought on by being obese or overweight. Diseases such as cancer, stroke, heart attacks, etc. “- Dr. Lewis

Love this quote today! I am taking my mom for a nuclear stress test to check her heart. She has had 3 strokes, and has dementia …all brought on by obe…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: center;”>Yes it does feel amazing.</p>
Today will be stressful… talking my mom to her nuclear stress test. She had dementia and is going to be so confused. I will need to repeat things over and over for hours to explain and re- explain what we are doing and why.

Two good things though:

1. This is a reminder to me what…[Read more]
