Down 10lbs!

Wohoooo!  Congratulations on your weight loss and that you're continuing your wls journey.

Thanks Anna! I need to remember that life is a journey, and not a destination! Hugs Rachel

Hi Rachel, I'm with you!!! Congrats on the 10 poinds lost!  The 5DPT definitely has helped me with my tool as well.  I did it that first week and have slowly gotten back into the carbs.   The good thing is I know I can do it.  I will jump on board with you this week and go back on it.  I received an email today talking about Day 6 which is where I messed up!  I am definitely going to keep it in mind this time.  Anyway... keep us posted on your daily progress next week and I will update you on mine. Gosh... The Cali group is great!  I am sooooo grateful to be able to go to a place and know people will understand my struggles/addiction with food. Thank you again Rachel for being such an inspiration, Cathy

Very kind words Cathy! I don't know about being an inspiration at this point, but I know I'm feeling hopeful. I have days that the 'carb attacks" as I call them, creep in. But I just figure, one moment at a time.. Yesterday, for example, we had cold pizza in the fridge and I ate a slice for bfast. My Dh said, 'How are you going to lose weight eating pizza in the morning." Hmmm? well, then later I had a Protein shake...one moment at a time... Thank YOU for the encouragement. It's good to be in this with so many others!

((((((((((((RACH)))))))))))) Cara mia'!  OMG I am so proud of you and inspired the same. I so need to lose some weight but just can't even seem to get started. I have too many excuses. I want to try the pouch test but I keep telling myself that I can't do it. I have the instructions in my purse. I know one day I will get a calling and get my butt in gear.

Man you're going to Hawaii???? I went there last year and loved it. Didn't stay long enough. Where are you going? If you are going to Ohahu (Waikiki) you must go to "Jermaines" luau. Great! I want to go back but this time I'd like to go to Maui.

Ok girl, congratulations......I need a WOW moment too.

Love Ya

 

Mi Amor! Como Esta usted? Yeah...I said usted...a sign of respect... I have been FULL of excuses. 25lbs full. I figured, I need to figure out who I am and how to truly work this tool. Hopefully, I've made a step in the right direction. I figured, I'm never going to have a normal relationship with food. so the next step is to figure what works. this is working so far. Time will tell.  As far as Hawaii goes, Ohau. We are staying in a huge beach house on Lanikai (on the winward side; thanks to Jim's mom), then after our family leaves the island, we're (me, jim and the boys) are heading for a condo on the north shore. We've been talking about taking the kids to a luau. Being that we have family in Hawaii, no one is interested in the 'turista' kinda thing. So, we'll see.  I hope you are doing well. Are you still with your family? xo, Rachel

CONGRATULATIONS!! what an awesome feeling to be back in control.. I lost it again after the first week!  I NEED to do it again, I hate that I can't stand myself!

 

Kudos.. and enjoy that bikini : )

Hi Stacie, I know you have it in you to do this. If I'm on track, anyone can be...believe me! As for the bikini...there was one benefit to putting 25lbs back on...skin was a lot less wrinkley...No bikini for me, but my one piece looks a-ok according my my DH...and that's all that matters to me :-) Hang in there, Rachel
