Thinner This Year – Beta Test 1 month, 1 week agoI’m having a hard time keeping on task. I did so well when we were all in this for the six months. In January I was down almost 30 pounds from June but now have gained about ten back. I know it is a lack of exercise and eating…easy to figure out. When I got home from Florida I jumped back into a busy schedule and now know I need to take that…[Read more]

Thinner This Year – Beta Test 2 months, 1 week agoThe two copies of the book signed by Chris were a real treat. I’m going to run through and read the book again. I think I need to remind myself at least every year. I wish staying at the spa exercise ranch wasn’t so expensive. Although my girlfriend and I have always said we can sort of do our own.

Thinner This Year – Beta Test 4 months, 1 week agoWhen we order, how do we requested an autographed copy?
-
Hi Diane! As a beta-tester who met your goal, you can expect to automatically receive an autographed copy (as promised in our beta enrollment email from Chris back in June). I don’t know if it’s possible to order an autographed copy.
-
We just got back from Florida after two months of time to exercise like crazy! I was so excited to find the two signed copies of the book and the nice handouts. Thank you so much Jen and Chris. It would be fun to keep in contact with this group and see how the group fares six months and a year down the road.

Thinner This Year – Beta Test 4 months, 3 weeks agoHI Chris, can you give us the email address again of where you send a picture? I tried last night but the email came back. I may have already deleted the other email. Or even an address of where to send a picture. Not sure I know how to do all of this. thanks….

Thinner This Year – Beta Test 4 months, 3 weeks agoHummm a lot of writing is missing from the blog. Maybe it’s only my computer. Well a week late but I made my revised goal this morning 177 to 149.6. I did a little ”happy dance” this morning. Can’t wait to get to Florida to have the time to exercise like crazy!!!
-
Hooray. Great work. Chris
-
Alot has disappeared from mine also. 1 month, 3 weeks ago is what I see.
Congrats on your good work!
-
Mine is the same I lost a month and three days…How strange is this. I hope they don’t zap us off of the blog. We are heading to Florida on Sunday and I just can’t wait to exercise and enjoy some warm weather. I would love to get back into shape and lose another ten pounds.

Thinner This Year – Beta Test 6 months, 2 weeks agoI don’t think you answered the question Nancy and I had about emotional eating. I’ve always felt that really is the biggest issue in losing weight. It’s the idea of “what’s eating you”. Most of us eat for different reason,…lonely, bored, habit, tired, etc. It would be an interesting study. I used to say if I could bottle “motivation” I…[Read more]

Thinner This Year – Beta Test 6 months, 2 weeks agoChris I hope they plan on some kind of follow up with the Beta Group. Sometimes it’s easy to stay with a plan for the short term. The question is does it change one’s life and do they keep the weight off? That’s the real key are the long term changes realistic enough to last long term.

Thinner This Year – Beta Test 6 months, 2 weeks agoHow Sweet Is This!? Today is my birthday – proudly 63 – BUT this morning when I weighed in I Hit MY GOAL of 145! Karma….maybe, aligning of the planets…naahh! Hard Work! I celebrated with a lovely bike ride in glorious 90 deg. heat, almost better than a sauna! Now some quiet time reading, then dinner with my husband!
-
Hey Happy Birthday. Man that must have felt great to see that number. That’s where I want to be and hopefully will make it there by the end of the next six weeks. I’m 63 also. Just think we will get better and better with age…now that’s something to actually look forward to….

Happy birthday! (just a little late) What a nice present to yourself.

That is a wonderful birthday present. Congrats!

Happy Birthday, Diane … what a wonderful gift you’ve given yourself …

Thinner This Year – Beta Test 6 months, 2 weeks agoNow that we’re in the home stretch I’m also focusing on counting calories … added the myfitnesspal APP to my iPhone … and am amazed to see the actual calories in the food I eat. Biggest surprise … I thought the Grilled Chicken Apple Cranberry salad wrap from Burger King was a healthy alternative for a meal on the go … that little thing…[Read more]

Sherrye, I never thought I could consistently “journal” what I ate until I got the myfitness app. Now its automatic& like second nature. It has been so helpful, particularly in the evening when a bit of dessert sounds good and I check my calorie totals and realize there’s no more room for goodies!! I’m also amazed at how many recipes that I…[Read more]

Thinner This Year – Beta Test 6 months, 2 weeks agoI’m trying to make a push this last six weeks. I need to work on really getting all my exercise in every day. I’m so busy with being the director of a pregnancy care center and a B&B on the weekends, plus watching grand children. Life is full, like everyone elses is I’m sure. Getting in the exercise has been so hard. At this age it seems…[Read more]

YOU can do this …

Absolutely Coralee, You can do this!!

It will actually be fun to go to Florida in January and not feel like I am ”starting all over” like I seem to do each year. Hopefully I have learned some great lessons with my eating and not go back to my old habits.

Thinner This Year – Beta Test 6 months, 2 weeks agoI mentioned the other day about measuring our waists. I hadn’t thought about checking my thighs. I’ve lost an 1 1/2” in each thigh. That’s 11 lbs and 10 inches since the start. I was a little down because I hadn’t lost more than 11 lbs, but 10 inches is a lot of me gone! New motivation to keep going.

Congrats to the incredible disappearing Claire!

Thanks Chuck!

Thinner This Year – Beta Test 6 months, 3 weeks agoI wish I could get more exercise in. It’s not that I’m sitting around believe me. We have a casual B&B and our home is on three levels so I am cleaning and up and down the steps all the time. Plus I took over as a director, so much for retirement, for a pregnancy care center in July. I’m working tons of hours and that is up two flights of…[Read more]

Thinner This Year – Beta Test 6 months, 3 weeks agoYes, lost 1.5” from waist and 2” from hips. FINALLY got myself a serious bike for days that I don’t have time to get to the rink and too beautiful outside to stay in. These clip on shoes/pedals are rather intimidating though.
-
I haven’t done the clip on shoes yet. Too chicken.
-
Can’t blame you. I went out just to practice using them on a very quiet road. I got some confidence and then practiced an emergency stop and dismount, ended up falling at a standstill. Just a couple bruises, but not fun. But I think it will be worth it, as being able to pull with hamstrings seems to enable upper body to stay relaxed, sparing…[Read more]

Coralee, I know, it’s really hard. I’ve managed to stay within a lb. or 2 of my goal since December, which was a major accomplishment knowing how my family loves to eat and cook at the holidays! My husband and I have added 2 days of severe calorie restriction based on the 5:2 FAST diet and that seems to keep me on track. May not be quite the…[Read more]
Oh good for you Diane! I’m just so busy that this has gone down the list of important items to get done. I get so busy I just grab junk. I’m probably not eating way too much just all the wrong things. That was the biggest change when I started the program was that by eating the good things I wasn’t hungry for the empty calories. I’m directing…[Read more]
