Activity

Made it through a PERFECT 5 Bite day. Fasted until 3:30 and had first bar. Another bar at 7:15 pm. It really helps to lesson the hunger and cravings when I don’t let the artificial sugar in. No soda, no gum- just water and coffee.

Hope everyone did well today.

It sounds as if you’re determined and doing great!  After 18 I’m ready for my 5 bites, so I can imagine that you would be too after 20!!  Wow.  I look to the day soon where I will be at Carmel’s weight, and hen yours!  Thanks for the inspiration.

So today was my weigh in and it was a little disappointing. Only two pounds down.  No extra bites, and I ate mainly the same thing every day.  I don’t know if the slow down is hormonal or not, but I’m sticking firm to this diet.  Today I am starting bars for a week to see if that makes the difference.  I want as good or even better…[Read more]

Way to go Gail!  I have started bars today also, so I am with you and HealthyRN today.  (You can do it, HealthyRN!  Your cooking friends will all be complaining about the ten pounds they gained by the end of the year.  But you (and Gail) will be floating away, doing happy spins around town in your new outfits you had to buy because your other clo…[Read more]

Great job Healthy RN!!

I am 19.5 hours fasted. My goal was over 18. Going to wait a bit longer and have first bar.

We so got this!!

Hi Team!

My crafting event is tomorrow. My hunger is not as intense. I am sticking to bars until Monday.
I love all the encouraging post! Keep them coming. Looking forward to hearing about everyone’s success on Monday

Good Morning Team!

Today I am reminding myself of how it feels to be skinny, strong and healthy. The joy of waking up to a flat tummy and one that looks great with and without clothes – sorry if this is too graphic. I am reminding myself that it takes a bit of sacrificing and a little discomfort. It takes a real focus and a shift of mindset. I…[Read more]

Day 3

SW: 126.6

I decided that it was time to face the music. This weight is my post- thanksgiving /holiday/ vacation weight. Time to shed this and get back to skinny and strong. A lot of this weight is volume and salt. Hoping to be 120 by next Thursday.

Mel- I know it’s your weigh in day is Thursday so I decided to face the music.

I am g…[Read more]

Thanks, but you can keep them all to yourself.

So, since Monday, how are you doing on this program?  What did you eat last night for dinner?

I hope you day is going smoothly and all your 5BD plans are on right track.

We are  cheering you on!

Your sustained victory is important to us all.

Go Gayle!!!

Hello Everyone!

I’m back home.  Going away is good, but it is always a challenge to keep my habits going while I’m on a vacation.  I did really well in spite of being out of my routine. In the end, I wasn’t able to reign myself in and with perfect 5 bites as I’d hoped, BUT considering everything I only went a few bites over, and I’m proud of A…[Read more]

Day 2

Good Morning everyone! Today I’m packed up and ready for an early and busy day. Usually early days are triggers for me bcs they usually are days where I have less sleep and more stress (NYC traffic!). Not today!! I got sleep and I am mentally preparing for staying on track. I will drink my water and black coffee until lunch time and then I…[Read more]

Hi guys!

good day back. I will be with you guys for a while.

How did you do on the bars today Gayle?  I’m going on bars for a week on my next weigh in day on Thursday because my weight loss slowed down despite 5 bites twice a day.  So that will probably be my reset.  I think Carmel is right.  You won’t be here much longer because you’re so close!

It’s okay Dr. Lewis.  I’ll share my winning team with you.  I’m not selfish.

Dr. Lewis, I meant I’m LOSING all around, but I have the WINNING team.  Neener! Neener! Ha.

No!  I want you LOSING!

Thanks!  I’m remaining firm.  I’m going to start going through my clothing and start picking out things that were too tight when I started 5BD three weeks ago that will probably fit me know.  Yay!
