What a great revelation, 5BiteGirl!–and midway through the crisis so that you were able to avert derailment. Congratulations! I am so impressed! :cheer:

It’s been about 40 minutes since your lunch bar. How is your hunger now?

Yes actually…still pretty hungry. Started bars yesterday. 1 for lunch, 1 for dinner. Just had my lunch bar for today. Been trying to find ways to distract myself during those hunger moments

Great job! And great attitude!!

Sounds like a perfect plan!! You will do great, and it will feel like a huge accomplishment to lose weight while on a trip! :cheer: (I hope you can still update here, too, so we can cheer you on!)

Thanks, Corey! Today is much easier so far. Hope yours is going well, too!

And thanks for your encouragement, Dr. Lewis!!

Awesome job! I try to drink extra water or tea every hour. It seemed to keep my headaches away.

Today will be an awesome day!

Day 4- 148.5

I’ve lost 8.5 pounds in 3 days- the 5-bite diet is pretty amazing!!

I stayed perfectly on track yesterday. But I did have some major hunger pangs on and off throughout the afternoon. I don’t know why they seem so unbearable to me. I reminded myself that I would power through a headache. And that I’ve given birth 4 times!…[Read more]

Yes, that is my plan. I noticed that my coworker that had the bypass, that is what she does. She puts a few bites of food on a small plate and spends the rest of her time talking.

FINALLY back down to 245! Three pounds away from my 20 (wish I would have put that weight in when I started…)

Right.

GREAT! You are SO CLOSE, Letileti! I’m so excited for you. SO CLOSE! :cheer:

Yes! You mind is in a beautiful place. I LOVE that. Now it’s a game: how to play off each meal so you come away satisfied in 5 bites. And it’s not the size of bites that are so satisfying, but rather the flavor of the bites. The exception to that rule: if you bites are exceptionally small, and you can deal with the mild excess hunger, you…[Read more]

Great job, Design! And most importantly: are you hungry?

Like that! :lol:

Corey considering that you will be talking and networking…..you will not need chewing!
you gave yourself an answer. talk talk talk…..

Thanks everyone! I am a little nervous because I am going away for work for 6 days next week. I am a little nervous as to sticking to my bites. I have a plan to get around breakfast, but lunch and dinner will be challenging since we are going to be working and networking through those.

:woohoo:
You did it!

I am so excited when I can taste different flavours here and there.

Thank you! I did not do bars yesterday. But I did stay to plan. 1 bite of baked beans, 2 bites of garlic bread 1 bite of coleslaw. You are right…it was unremarkable. I do not feel like I was left out. Now…time to tackle the rest of this birthday week!

Day 3 of reset: 150.0

Thank you so much, DesignDiva, Gayle, and Letileti!

Yesterday went great, and I stayed on plan perfectly. We did end up going to the huge Fort Worth fireworks show. We stopped at Taco Bell on the way there, around 6:00. I had 5 bites of a taco and had no trouble throwing the rest away. Yay! And I didn’t feel tempted by…[Read more]

I could not eat a Snicker.

I had half toast (5 perfect bites) with hot dog inside.
