That sounds great! What time zone are you in?  I’m PST.

Thank you to both of you ladies! Tomorrow I’m going to give it my all. We got this!  Let’s check in here. I love the support!

Thank you Carmel!  I was also eating around 11 am and 3 pm.  It’s been hard waiting until five.  But when I eat earlier, I feel hungry the next morning, which makes it harder to wait for lunch.  Let’s see what kind of results next Thursday brings for me.  Meanwhile, I’m rooting you on!  We will have great results.

You are so sweet! Yup, lets go!

Congrats Mel!  9 lbs is amazing! I’m glad to know that when I am sticking to my two  5 bites meals  tomorrow there are others who are doing the exact same.  I am not alone.  I’ll be curious to know if you have more success eating at noon and 5.  I usually eat at 11 and again at 3.  Skipping evening meals seems  easier for me.  My kids are grown so…[Read more]

Thanks!  Look at you, though.  21 pounds gone! I look forward to being able to post results like that.  Yes!  No more bad habits.  Feeling more energetic and confident is a beautiful thing.  Let’s go!

Heather, reading your story was inspirational.  You are so close to your goal and it is quite impressive.  What a great chance to make such a change in your career and location all while being 40 lbs lighter.  And you are so young.  I’m 58 and just now  tackling this.  From where I stand, I can only wish I was that young when I found this amazi…[Read more]

Thank you Mel! Those old habits get us every time. No more old ways.   You are an inspiration too!

Talking to you today helped me stay on target.  I have a tough time waiting until 5 pm for dinner, but I did it!  It was because I reflected on your struggle.  I know you will get back on track.  Just remember the joy of last week.  A little work, and more joy is headed your way.  A lot is going on in your life right now, so you deserve to have that joy.

Thank you so much for the encouragement!!

I know that you are right and I’m trying to give myself a little grace right now. I know things aren’t as bad as they seem. I’m just really stressed, lol!

I am going to try really hard to stay the course though. Tomorrow is a new day!

I’ll keep checking in on here, it definitely helps!

I hope you are…[Read more]

Moving is one of the most stressful things you can do, let alone changing a career!  Please don’t give up nor beat yourself up.  Stress eating just causes more stress.  Start fresh tomorrow!  Or, if it seems too much, maybe you could go on an altered 5BD to maintain what you’ve already lost to get you through this current stressful time and the…[Read more]

Hi there! Thank you for checking in with me. I’m actually not doing very well at all. Last week I felt on top of the world. This week I feel stressed, emotional and anxious. We are closing on the sale of our house tomorrow and moving cross country and the stress has made it very hard to focus and I’ve def had some slip ups and mistakes. I’m afraid…[Read more]

Looking forward to my first zoom chat!

Hey Heather!  How are you doing this week?

You’ll totally conquer this! Especially with your new determination. I went down to 117 years back, but went back to the old bad habits that brought me back up to 197.  This time, I’ll get down to my healthy goal weight and move into healthy eating habits. Your 20 pound loss is inspiration for me!  And sharing your fumble makes it relatable.

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone! It’s encouraging!

Does anyone know how to rest the weight tracker?  Today starts week 2 for me, but the tracker states that I’m in week 3.  I just lost 9 pounds during my first week!
