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!!

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.

You got this!!

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.

Thank you so much!

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

Hi Mel!  Welcome back!

Yes it will.  So, so, sweet and extraordinary.  So spectacular, in fact, what you are guys waiting for?

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hi Mel!!</p>
 

I too lost 30 pounds on this diet before I started messing up, a little extra bite here, a snack there. Luckily, I haven’t gained anything but I’m ready to get focused and get these extra pounds off for good!

I know we can do it! The victory will be so sweet 😊

Welcome, Mel.   It’s great that you are back on the 5-bite program.  Before, when you were 117, how long did you maintain that before you started gaining the weight back?  Why did you gain the weight back?  How long did it take?  And did you feel SO MUCH better at 117 than where you are now?

Hello!  Welcome back.  I’m back with a similar story, so I am rooting for you too! :D

Brilliant, Heather!  How you feel is much better than any food could have made you feel, no?

Woke up to another pound lost today!! Feeling the momentum rise! I want to look fabulous on the beach this weekend!

Great.  And if you really pay attention to your body when you are sick, you’ll realize you just aren’t hungry.  The inflammation from the infection will kill your appetite.  Granted, most people eat because they think they need the energy or something, but if anything the extra food just makes you feel worse.  So good job, and feel better soon!

Doing better today. I was happy to see a 1 pound loss this morning!

I am a little under the weather so I’ve just been resting before we go out of town this weekend. Normally I would want comfort food but not today. I’ve done great so far!

Thanks for sharing, Chapinj!

And Heather … how is today going thus far?
