We had a great discussion in our Facebook group thinking about the lifestyle changes we make to lose weight versus what we are planning on doing once we hit our goal weight and need to maintain.

John also had a bout with food poisoning and Emily has shifted her whole schedule to mornings so we're both a little out of our comfort zone.

• Emily has moved her eating window earlier because of her changing her sleeping schedule to earlier.
• We talked on last week’s episode about proactive mode versus reactive mode during the day.

• When you hear us referring to others, it’s our chat room while we record live in the Hate to Weight Facebook group!
