Ready, set, GO!!

Good luck, Mel.  I understand that you’ve got other issues on your mind, but no matter where you are or what you are doing, taking care of your health will always be priority #1.  The hunger, the weakness, the low energy will come and go.  Less and less the farther along this journey you progress, but you have to except it from time to time ri…[Read more]

Revving up for the challenge!!!

Good luck w everything Mel!!

Beeeeeeeep…..

Hi Mel,

I read your note and I’m super sad to see you go for now, but I totally get it. What you are experiencing is what kicked me out of the program at the end of last August.  I kept up my membership going just as a way to ensure I didn’t abandon ship completely. I think if I didn’t renew my membership each month I wouldn’t…[Read more]

Hey all!  I’ll happily join the bar challenge.  Count me in too!  A good solid 8 days of just bars will do so much good! Thanks for the invite!

Summary of Day 4

Lunch – Atkins Bar
Dinner – 20 bites of regular food, 2 glasses of wine and some ice cream
Beverages – Tea, Water, Coffee (with almond creamer)

Not giving up, I will keep going!  I am meal prepping a weekends worth of meals for my son this morning, so that I don’t have to cook for him for a little while. That seems to…[Read more]

Sounds like a great plan!  I am doing bars only too, so count me in. 

It sure is amazing Mel!!!

Fine.  Everything sounds great.  How about your drinks–what are you drinking?

Indeed.  You are doing GREAT!  Keep up the momentum.  I love it!!

Thanks for the encouragement Mel and Gayle!

I met with my physician today, and she gave me the official green light to keep going with 5BD.  She gave me until end of December to lose some weight on my own (here), before I need to go the route of medically supervised meal replacements and bariatric surgery.

She set me up with some…[Read more]

Great job getting back on track!  25lbs in 5 weeks is still pretty amazing, and averages to 5lbs a week, which is way better than any weight loss program out there.

So excited for you Rachel!!! Keep focused. Remember that every day that your investing makes it easier in the short-term and long-term it gets you closer to goal.

I am going on a mini-vacay fri to Monday. I will be joining you and Mel Monday for 5 B.

You so got this!!

Well, even though I sabotaged a couple of days ago and had a random meal of whatever, I lost an entire pound this week.  Disappointing, but at least I lost and didn’t gain.  I’m trying real food again the next couple of days  as long as it looks like I’ll continue to lose.  If not, it’s back on the bars for me!  I have a buffet of fresh Snicke…[Read more]

Congrats on rolling right along with the plan!
