That’s funny! I heard another mantra…”90% is a *itch, 100% is a breeze”. So true. All-in is way easier that almost-in.

Hello, I’m returning to 5BD from my last time here on August 2. The amount of effort to keep my foot to the pedal got overwhelming after 4 months…and to be honest it was inconsistent or I would have finished by then. I left off having lost a total of 28 lbs. I’m returning having gained back 8 of those lbs. Thankfully I’m still down 20 lbs. I…[Read more]

Hi! I am doing another reset and this is day 2. I am drinking lots of coffee and water to help with the hunger. I found this mantra in an old post on the forum and it is REALLY helping me stick with 5 bites: “Better in the trash, than on my ass.”

I love that, Heather! You are 146 now, no? Does that put you at 125 or so? Just for giggles, how about 120? ;)

<p style=”text-align: center;”>Yep! My plan is to lose 20 more! Feeling confident!</p>

Thank you! I totally believe that. I’m ready to feel healthy again. Buckle up for safety!

Great job in losing those 40 pounds last time you were here, Heather. But my feeling is always this: why not lose even more, and do it in much less time. You guys can, you know. It’s all about your mindset. IF, though, you want the end result badly enough, you will simply refuse to eat a 6th bite, and in so doing will approach the finish line…[Read more]

Brilliant. You are in the right place, Mel. Now that you’ve started off on a good foot, settle in for the ride. It’ll be wild. It’ll be tough at times. But in the end, it will all be so incredibly worth it!!

Mel Ting replied to the topic And Here I Am. in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 4 years, 3 months ago

Before, when you were 117, how long did you maintain that before you started gaining the weight back?

I believe I maintained for about two years at that weight after 5BD.

Why did you gain the weight back? How long did it take? Stress (including the pandemic) got the best of me and last week I hit one pound below my highest weight ever. It…[Read more]

Thank you! I believe I do too! Thank you for sharing how much you were able to lose in three months. That’s very helpful! I’ll be curious to see how well three months from now.

Heather Marie replied to the topic Celebrating! in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 4 years, 3 months ago

You got this!!

Mel Ting replied to the topic Celebrating! in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 4 years, 3 months ago

Congratulations on your accomplishment! Yesterday was my first day on the diet, but I would be thrilled with that type of weight loss within four months. Thank you for the extra boost of motivation.

Heather Marie replied to the topic Celebrating! in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 4 years, 3 months ago

Thank you so much!

chapinj replied to the topic Celebrating! in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 4 years, 3 months ago

That is great news! I am celebrating with you. Your success is inspiring!! You can definitely take off those last 20 pounds.

Heather Marie started the topic Celebrating! in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 4 years, 3 months ago

I’m officially down 40 pounds using the 5 bite diet! It took about 4 months with some breaks in between but I’m proud of myself. I saw my PCP today and my normally high blood pressure was 106/70

I was in shock because I’ve never seen it that low.

Also my fibro flare ups are becoming less and less. My energy levels are up and I feel great! I’ve…[Read more]
