Activity

I hear you, but don’t wait until tomorrow to start.  Begin being perfect this very second.  Then, having nailed your first perfect meal at lunch, just keep it going.  One perfect meal after another.  You’ve got this!!

EXACTLY!  The food sitting in front of you at your next meal will be out of your mind in such a short period of time.  It’s NEVER work eating an excess amount of it–until you are skinny and need the extra food.

Day 2 of mini challenge

day 1: 128.2

day 2:128.4

mini-challenge is that I want to stay on perfect 5B and be 7-10 pounds thinner in 14 days  (now 13)

Stayed on plan yesterday and quite proud of myself that I got back on track after over eating on Friday night. I realized that I probably would be 126/127 today if I had not over-eaten. It’s tr…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: center;”>Keep it up samantha!! I essentially stayed the same too!! Big drop is coming soon</p>

Inspired by Samantha – 14 day Challenge. Although I would LOVE to love 10 pounds, I may be a bit closer to my goal. I actually want to get to 117-119. Even with perfect 5B, I probably could only lose an average of 1/2 pound a day. That’s ok – I’ll take 7 pounds.

Day 1 128.2

My plan is 2 perfect 5B of fabulous food or bars.

Thanks, gspeech!

Exactly right, Catherine!  And engaging in this journey builds your will and self control much like lifting weights builds muscle.  The more often you focus on eating just five bites, the stronger your brain/will power becomes and the easier the rest of the journey becomes.

Thank you so much for sharing the details of your journey Samantha. You are doing so incredibly well. I used to be like a machine and adhere to the diet very strictly. I’m actually trying to get back to that place. Yesterday I ate way too much and I’m not happy with myself but today is a new day.

let’s keep on this weight loss journey. It won’t…[Read more]

Above that should say not*weighing* until Thursday

I have two perfect snicker days under my belt, and feel very good. Today will be snickers again, tomorrow I will start food. Not waiting until Thursday.
what I am learning is that, especially in the first days, the struggle is not necessarily with hunger, as much as it is retraining your brain not to constantly think about your next meal or what…[Read more]

Love the dress!! You are going to look great in it.

Wow!! You have inspired me. You almost lost 10 pounds in two weeks. That’s what I need to do. I lost focus last night. I need to get right back up and be perfect. Would you mind sharing what you’re eating? Are you eating bars or food? Are you drinking any beverages besides water and black coffee?

keep it going!!

Went out to dinner with a friend tonight. One of the first things she said was, “You’ve lost weight!”

Will do, and thank you Linda!

Yes!!! I want to see that dream. My son, the health-conscious, amazing cook will be proud of me.

Doing pretty well. Had a Snickers bar for lunch today, and for dinner last night.

The weekends are the most challenging, but now that I’m more aware of that, I’ll be more conscious of it. Will suggest to my sister that we split what we order at a res…[Read more]

Samantha,

When you find yourself plateauing (like the last 3 day), go back to 5 normal (which may seem like smallish) bites twice a day.  Not a crumb more.  Being this precise and this perfect is HARD, but that is how we break through the plateau.  GO FOR IT!!!

Honestly, though, BK: how did you feel (I mean physically feel) this morning when you woke up?

Let’s make that dream a reality!!

How are you doing thus far?   What are you eating?

Welcome back, Catherine. I agree – why bother with anything else? I did OMAD, too, but don’t think I dropped much at all. Dr Lewis is right about this way of eating – and the speed at which it works — if we’ll just do the work. I don’t think we should discount the difficulty of being as disciplined as we need to be on this diet but you can’t a…[Read more]

I want to be able to wear this dress at my son’s wedding (or something equally beautiful) and look great in it! (They’re requesting that everyone wear black.)
