That’s fantastic, Carmel! You always have the perfect, inspiring words.  Keep strong!  We have goals to reach.  We will reach them!

Day 2

Ive been complacent for too long. I’ve let too many social occasions become social eating events and that has to stop. I am going to have to DIET during those social times if I ever want to get back to my goal.

Today- I only have to focus on having my two bars a day. How easy is that? Waves on hunger will come but honestly when I overeat -…[Read more]

Bar day today thru Friday 5 B on weekend !

Carmel – I do a lot of social stuff and it can get challenging. I like you’re philosophy of looking at sticking to plan as a dopamine release and reward. I e certainly done that before. In previous 5 B journeys when I was successful, I didn’t let anything or anyone to allow me to deviate from my pla…[Read more]

Thanks Gayle! We’ve got this!

Today is a new day!  Good things are happening!  We are in this together, although we walk it out individually.  There is no better place to look for a great cheerleading session than here.

Poppycat, so glad you caught your condition early; you are very blessed to have found out when you did.   We are  so  glad to have you here with us!…[Read more]

I have also found bars to be the fastest. It also helps me to detach from food and reset quickly. It’s easy to rationale an extra bite or two when eating.  Great job Mel and Carmel!!

Wishing everyone a great day!!

Having my colonoscopy today. My goal is to be back on plan today. I will do bars Wednesday thru Friday. 5 B the other days.

let’s go get em

I am going to join you though on the five bite…[Read more]

Poppycat, thank you for chiming in with such wonderful advice and encouragement for us. You are great example of someone who overcame their weight issue through 5BD!   However I, too, am very sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis.  You are so kind to reach out to us, especially  in the midst of a  personal crisis.  My very best to you as you o…[Read more]

Hey all!

Gayle, I hope your procedure went well.   For me, a  cleanse/fast is always a good reset tool.  My attachment to excess food calms down after even a short fast.   Being forced by a medical procedure into fast is always a good push forward, LOL

Special times such as weekend events or  vacations are my 5BD Kryptonite, because these…[Read more]

That is fantastic!! So happy for you!!

Thx Mel! So appreciate the reassuring words. I’ve had it done before and I’m good. I am also used to the fasting thing. Going to look at it as an opportunity to “cleanse” and reset.

Have a great day!!

Gayle

Hey Gayle!  You’ll do fine tomorrow.  The hardest part is the diet and the “cleanse”.  I’ve checked patients in for endoscopy procedures, And have even been allowed by the patients to be in the procedure room to observe the procedures in progress.  Many wake up twenty minutes later from the anesthesia and say it’s the best nap they’ve ever…[Read more]

Hey guys! Had a bit of a challenging eating weekend. Next two days will be focused on a colonoscopy. At least that means liquids for a day and no food. Will do 5B after procedure.

I will still check in w you guys and cheer you on.

xoxo Gayle

I’m so very sorry to hear that!  Please, no worries if you aren’t feeling well.  Take care!  ♥️  It’s a pleasure to have you check in with us.

I will definitely  do my best to be there , I have recently been diagnosed with lung cancer in July so my days are very unpredictable xx

Thank you so much, Poppycat.  It’s wonderful to meet you!   Maybe you could pop in on our meeting next Monday.

Hi everyone ,just popping in to give you lots of encouragement and keep committed and remember why are you are doing this. No other diet works better,than five bite for losing the weight but also the biggest prize is health and your mind shift. I have been with Dr Lewis a very longtime and still to this day if something looks good to eat , I take…[Read more]
