Well, here she is, a month later, with ten more pounds gone forever! She's looking good, don't you think? Oh, are you thinking, ten pounds a month? That's not very much, the folks on The Biggest Loser, lose that in a week. Of course all they do is exercise every waking moment. Mona, works, takes care of a family, and has a bum hip that keeps her from overdoing and still there she is just one tenth of a pound away from Onederland. Let's see, she started in October of last year, when most people were thinking more about holidays than dieting, and has worked a diet and exercise program that fit into her life and kept her from feeling deprived. At this rate, she will be at her goal weight before this year's holiday season. How's that for reality?

Mona is also dropping down to 2X a month private support with me. I will miss our calls, but part of this process, so the loss lasts a lifetime, is to be able to do it on your own. Neither one of us is ready to say good-bye just yet, but if you spoke to her, you would know she is very close to not needing my help at all.

I have to say, I am very proud of her. When she sent me her scale photo this morning, it made my day. We all deserve this type of success, but like I am always telling you, it takes really wanting it. Not half wanting it, not knowing you need it, but really wanting it and deciding that regardless of what life throws at you, you are just going to do it and get it done. That's what Mo does, and trust me, she has gone through stressful times lately. While that stress affected every other aspect of her life, she chose not to let it affect her eating. She wants this, and she believes it is her time to get it.

What about you? Is it your time? Where do you want to be this coming holiday season? If you followed Mo's lead, you could be 80 to 90 lbs thinner by Halloween! That's no hype. There are always the exceptions, but for most women a 1200 calorie a day diet made up primarily of whole fresh foods that are low in fat, salt, and sugar, with about 90 minutes of walking a day in your fat burn heart rate zone, this type of loss is doable.

Lynaorg Hits 25 lbs gone!

Lyna started her 2X a month calls this month, and is doing great. All along her plan was to take this slow and work a program she could do without too much worry. Of course there has been worry, and a lot of busy days when she wasn't sure she could figure out what or how to eat around such a hectic schedule, and then her vacation, but still here she is 25 lbs lighter than when she started. The most important thing where Lyna is concerned is that what she always thought was impossible is very doable. Not fast weight loss, she isn't going after that, but not letting food rule her life. I know I said this before, but her transformation from a woman who believed she did not have the power to say no to emotional eating to one who doesn't even consider eating other than for nutrition and the occasional entertainment, is awesome. Everytime I talk to her, I am reminded of how powerful self-will can be. Note, I did not say willpower. Willpower is some mystical force associated with temptation, it's self-will, the ability to stand up to yourself and your old fears and addictions and say," no. I know what I want and overeating is not part of that plan." There's no willpower involved, it is a determined state of mind. "I want it, therefore I will do it!"

Cosi is coming back!

I am so proud of Cosi. She lost 30 pounds with me last fall, and then maintained her weight loss through the winter. Lately with a new job, five pounds crept back, so instead of waiting to regain her weight, she is coming back for a refresher course so she can nip some fat brain habits that are trying to work their way back into her life. This is how we all have to do it. Realize that we are human, and that we may not always be perfect, but not let it ever get out of control. I must say, I am very happy to have her back. She is going to do the 100% Raw Fast Weight Loss combined with the Breaking Fat Brain Behaviors Program. She only has ten to fifteen pounds to lose, but as we all know, weight loss is not the tough part. For anyone to succeed they must be willing to step away from food obsessions and emotional eating. It's not easy, but it can be done if you want it. Since she is so close to her goal weight, we will work on Finding Her Perfect Diet when she moves back to maintenance.

Pothier Loses 16 pounds in 12 Days

Pothier is doing the 100% raw fast weight loss program with a minimum of 1 hour of walking a day. This is a great start, and yes, we know it's mostly water, but be honest, no one has these types of big losses on other diets. There really is something different about a low fat low sugar raw food diet. I think it's all that juicy fruit! Talking about fruit, I found this great article the other day about the top ten healthiest fruits. You should read it.

Fast Weight Loss Program - Start Any Monday Morning

Since most people who join the Fast Weight Loss 100% Simple Raw Group Program don't need to be on a set schedule, I am opening up enrollment for Monday starts throughout each month. So if you're ready, sign up today and let's get this going! Make sure to read all about this program though. It is not for the faint of heart, and it requires you have tried low fat simple raw before. Oh and that you will walk for 1 hour a day, every day. Note that if you do this program, you will at some point need to work through all the Breaking Fat Brain Behavior programs and before you can be successful at maintenance do the Finding Your Perfect Diet program. At this time listening to the audios and participating in the assignments is optional when you sign up for the fast weight loss, but that may change. What good is it to lose all that weight fast if you haven't take the time to break your obsession with food?

Finding Your Perfect Diet - Start Any Monday Morning

The new format in the Fast Weight Loss Program is working well, so I am going to extend it to the Finding Your Perfect Diet program as well. Starting tomorrow, anyone can join the program with a Monday start date. I truly believe in this program. Sure fast weight loss is great, but at some point you have to learn how to eat for life. That is what this program is about. If you can't do 100% raw, but you believe you could do a low fat, low sodium, low sugar whole foods diet with or without meat, and are willing to get out and walk, you can change your life forever. That's what Mo did, it's what Lyna's doing, it's what Zoe is doing. There is no magic door, ladies, that is your body. It's the only one you've got. It is your responsibility to take care of it, regardless of how slow your metabolism or how unfair it is that you don't get to eat like your skinny friends, or even how unathletic you are. If you want a thin healthy life, then you have to step up to the plate and push it away. You have to change. If you take the time to figure out what is the best diet and exercise program for you, and accept the weight loss schedule it brings, then you can reach your goals.

Finding your Perfect Diet, and Fast Weight Loss with 100% Low Fat Raw programs start every Monday Morning.

Private Coaching 2X per week phone support & Daily Email $249/4Week Program Save $50 By sharing B&A Photos

The first program, Finding Your Perfect Diet will be about looking honestly at your past behaviors and coming up with a program that you feel will work for you. That can be 100% raw, or it can be no raw. What matter is that it works for you. You can choose fast weight loss with lots of walking, or you can choose slower weight loss with minimal walking.

Instead of two Breaking Fat Brain Behavior programs and one Emotional Eating program, there will be Five 28 day programs to help you break old behaviors. Emotional Eating will be covered in all of them, but what I found last year was that we needed to work gradually through some of the fat brain behaviors and discuss emotions throughout the program and not wait until the end. Many felt they needed a break between subjects, so will work slower on the tougher behaviors, take weekends off from assignments, and spend time outside the assignments as a group to discuss the day to day reality of personal change. Others have asked that the site have more socializing, so everyone regardless of when they join will have access to the group as a whole, and not just the few that joined with them.

1 Year's worth of access to all the daily audios and the assignments used during your program, and membership to our private area where you can continue to work with the friends you made to reach your ultimate goals.

What do you need to do to join? Each 28 day program cost $149.00 or if you agree to share your photos with a blurred face, you can save $50 per program, and pay just $99.00.

Pay for 5 months up front and get your sixth month free and guarantee your year of support!
