Lose weight the fun way.

Ok, who is in and what do we want?
If Melissa isn’t able to host, I’ve decided to give it a try! Melissa, let me know if you do want to host. Otherwise…here are options:

1. Traditional kickstarter with book club, focused on takeaways from Ilana’s You Can Drop It. Zoom check ins on Thursdays at noon EST most weeks. $35/30 to join.

2. Traditional kickstarter, Ilanisms focused. Zoom check ins on Thursdays at noon EST most weeks. $35/30 to join.

3. Traditional kickstarter, tracker-accountability focused. Zoom check ins on Thursdays at noon EST most weeks. $35/30 to join.

So, pick which option and leave a comment, and let me know how much you’d be willing to put out for it (I’m leaning toward 35 to make it more high stakes hahaha). I want to start on Monday!!!

Your English is great! I’m in kind of a weird place mentally right now. Want to check in here in a week or two? I’d like to do another of Fatgirlfedup’s games! She’s a great host. Should we look for her April game and join together?

Hope you are feeling mentally well soon. I can't translate in English what I want to say, I'm stuck in thinking Dutch words. But I do hope you feel better soon and I wish you all the best.

I like that idea! Joining her April game together. I have added you as a friend, so it will be easy to find your posts in any game we are in together.

Good luck and take care

Day 20: Set Up 4 Success
We did it, Rock Stars! We made it to the final day of the Super Block! Be proud of yourself for showing up and the positive changes you’ve made over the last few weeks!
In the video, Ilana walks us through a journaling exercise. I encourage you to get our pen and paper and take few minutes to write out your answers - you are worth the time!

Share your biggest takeaway from these last few weeks and how you’ll carry it into the next phase of your journey.

I really appreciated the accountability and realized I just need to simplify my meals, stop looking at endless recipes on IG and Pinterest, and just repeat my meals for WLD. Weekends/social events/afternoon snacks are still things I need to work on so going to read Ilana-isms and keep tracking!

I know this is 2 b mindset group. Has anyone in this group ever do 21 day fix.? Not planning on going back to 21 day fix I'm just looking for help to get out of the mindset. When I think I have left that behind I start sliding back in to it . No hate on 21 day fix I just felt restricted on it and would end up binge eating

I used to use Portion Fix (21 day fix) and I just found that it didn’t work as well especially if I’m at social events or eating out. I am really finding these little podcasts that Ilana put out after her book released and after the Super Block released super helpful. She has so many helpful tips and mindset shifts for all kinds of challenges. I listen to them on Spotify but you can also search YouTube and find old calls. They are her old weekly calls and she answers questions. I also found going through this Super Block again is helping me make 2B Mindset more of a habit. Hope this helps!

I did 21 day fix and I did lose weight on it but those little colored containers and not knowing how many containers recipes or non 1 item ingredients were drove me crazy. I admit I kind of combined the 2 even though you aren’t really supposed to…I struggle with portion control on 2b mindset sometimes because I’m such a volume eater.

Scale back up but it's because have not been tracking anything and just been munching instead of eats a whole meal

I struggle with this too…it has helped me to stick to main meals on a plate and track as you go! And get out of the kitchen when not eating a meal.

I definitely benefit when I food prep lunches. Since I take it with me to work and usually don’t have time to go anywhere, this helps keep me from eating sweets and treats that are sometimes around at work. For dinner food prep, I often do what KT does and just make part of the dinner to save me a little time in the evening. One thing I’ve done lately is buy individually packaged chicken from Costco (in picture). These have been a great quick protein for me boys or I can add it to a frozen meal for extra protein.

Meal prepping breakfast is probably the only one I would be consistent with. I used to be a 21 day fix person and got burned out with all the meal prep to stay within my containers so I have a bad habit of not eating meal prep food I cook

Day 18: Maximize Melting Mode
I hope you took a minute to review your tracker after yesterdays video to see what works for your weight loss journey and where you need to make changes. Hopefully that helps us move on to melting mode. From the video here are the 4 key traits for melting mode:
Have a rock-solid routine
Track throughout the day
Pass on the BLTs
Put your 2 pound goals on your calendar

What are some changes to your choices or habits that have become normal throughout following the 2B Mindset program and have helped you succeed in weight loss?

Check out the link to this YouTube short from last fall for some good reminders (and a little tough love):

I never used to drink water but now I always drink half my body weight by chugging it before meals. I need to work on tracking throughout the day. I wonder if writing down food before I eat it will prevent me from eating silly treats

Do you all want to do another DB with 2B rockstars? It’s been really helpful for me to have a small, supportive group of friends to talk to about my struggles.

Day 17: Push Past a Plateau
Getting in a weight loss groove. Here are some key points I took away from todays video.

Problem Stating vs. Problem Solving
Ilana’s Top Tips to keep us from plateauing
Circle or Highlight in your tracker all the silly foods in your tracker - this can help you pinpoint where maybe those Bites, Licks and Tastes (BLTs) have lead to mindless eating.
Break up the day into quarters (for example 6am-10am, 10am-2pm, 2pm-6pm and 6pm-10pm) - this can help you identify which of these blocks are your strongest and where you can be making improvements.

Mindset has to progress with your weight loss. Journal which foods and habits are not working for you. Keep your goals and future vision top of mind.

What are some changes you want to make in order to push past any sticking points?

I was really proud of myself for attending to BLTs yesterday and focused! Scale went down a tiny smudge, but more importantly, I was really conscious about my choices and felt good about them!

I need to work on no afternoon snacking which turns into silly treats!

It’s been a crazy busy work day and trying not to be on the phone in the evenings when I’m with my kids, but just wanted to check in and very inspired by all of you and your transparency and meals! I overate yesterday and scale was up (ugh) but not letting it spiral and made better choices today…

B: breakfast taco
L: mini bell peppers, hummus, chicken thigh, Joseph’s pita
D: Veggies, pork chop
Dessert: Gingerbread protein shake

That looks yummy! Question: were you hungry after lunch? I am usually good between breakfast and lunch but boy do I get hungry after lunch! I find I really need a high protein snack to get me through. Just curious about others’ experiences
