That dam Lizard! He runs around like a 3 year old, out of control, eating everything in sight. At times it seems we can’t reason with it. We just need to love it, and put it to bed early. I’m not sure my Lizard would binge on veggies and proteins, if that is what was available. As for your addictive personality, that could…

IMHO, not all calories are created equal, as far as the human body is concerned, and certain foods may make you feel more satiated than others. Try eating different, less processed foods and see how you feel.

I have followed my plan 15 days in a row! This is huge! Commitment to myself and my plan is extremely important to me.

I’ve mixed cottage cheese, sugar free lime jello, lime juice, 1 packet gelatin, and sweetener in a blender and then pour in serving containers and let sit in fridge. It’s very good. No water. It’s like a lime pudding, with jello consistency.

I suspect you just add sprite in lieu of boiling water and mix well, let sit in fridge. Not sure though.

As long as the number is just a number, and the true reward is your ability to follow your plan(all the small actions you are taking to keep yourself in alignment with your ultimate goals), I think weighing yourself daily is a great practice to desensitize our mind to the realities that fluctuations exist in the number for…

I agree, this is a great discussion. I was on a diet when I gained all my weight, I just didn’t pay attention to what it was, or even care for all that matters. A diet is just the food you eat. I get to decide. Some foods make me feel better than others. Some foods make me hungry. Some foods make me sluggish. I want to…

Today’s PLAN, FOLLOW IT! Assess how we’ll I followed it! Identify how I can improve it! Make tomorrow’s plan!

Awesomeness!

Way cool @michne16

Whatever you do, make it enjoyable, realistic, and sustainable for the rest of your life. Yah, it may take a bit longer, but I have been exactly where you are at, and 15 years later I found myself weighing more than 400 pounds. IMHO, more important than losing the weight, is figuring out why you are gaining weight, and I’m…

Feel free to add me as a friend. Maybe we can help each other.

This post and your actions are NSV’s. Eating to buffer our emotions is very common. Recognizing it, and knowing that you will figure this out no matter what is pure awesomeness!

Your actions have created your current result. If you desire different results, you need to change your actions. An action repeated over and over again can create new habits and ultimately new results. A part of the brain is a “creature of habit.” Another part of the brain is considered the “higher thinking brain.” You…

Follow my plan for today, and make my plan for tomorrow.

Make my plan and follow it. My plan will be easy and realistic for where I am today, and I will commit to it 100%.

We a the result of our actions. Different actions will lead to new results. Love it!

I did fairly well, or so I thought until my Gout Flareup! Holy *kitten*!

Awesomeness within!

Follow my plan for today. Update plan for tomorrow. Be patient, kind and understanding with myself! Have a wonderful Wednesday! Be your amazing future self today!

I agree, the book gave many extraordinary examples. IMHO to point out how simple habits can result in greatness or casual fun, if that is what you desire. I never intended to claim being an “accomplished musician” is your desire. Casual Fun is Good! Do what you enjoy! Enjoy what you do! The book also expressed the value of…

I recommend listening to Corinne Crabtree’s “How to lose 100lbs” podcast and get her free course at her website. It doesn’t matter how long it takes to lose the weight. What matters is you learn to manage your thoughts around food! Your thoughts create your emotions, that drive your actions and create your results. You got…

I completed reading the book this weekend. The identity you choose as your future self is made up of many actions, small habits, routines and processes that are repeated time and time again, slowly shaping you into the results you desire, your future self. Learning to make your plan, your processes, your routines, your…

Very nice!

What have you learned from your experience? What is your compelling reason? If you could go back in time and pass on health and fitness advice to past self in 100 words or less, what would it be? What makes this time different? Thanks for your answers in advance.

And if you’re anything like the rest of us, you may find it a few more times before you find your next low, and that ok! Constant and never ending improvement doesn’t mean ups and down.

You gained so much more!

Work my plan for today! Update my plan for tomorrow. I am now creating the life of my dreams in an easy and relaxed manner and in a healthy and positive way!

Questions: Are you healthier today than when you started your journey? Why are you healthier, what’s your plan? What will happen if you just stop doing what you are doing? Why do you think you have excess weight? Why do you want to lose the excess weight? What will be different when you lose all the excess weight? What…
