Hi Kylie in Oz!

Thank you for your kind words.

I’m wondering and wondering what will happen here in maintenance.

I would like to feel a bit more wiggle-room soon.

Patience is a virtue and all we do is wait and breathe and leave the food alone.

How did you do today Kylie?

All the best to you.

You are doing so well and I love your insights. Wishing you all the best for maintenance

Hi everyone!

For my second three bites today I had three smaller than typical bites of grilled cheese, and then I added the last bite of a shrimp and egg sandwich, making for a little bigger volume meal than I had planned. How easily that happens… Tomorrow I will pay attention and stay focused from start to finish around my two meals.

I have a…[Read more]

Yah!!!  Welcome back!  Hope you can hide at work smd join the zoom!!!

Yay for feeling good on a 5 bites day!

Day one done and feeling great.

Hi again!

I feel a new sense of relief now in experiencing, knowing, and trusting that I can use the 5BD to control my body weight. It seems strange that I would still have doubts. I should have known and trusted this now that I’ve been on the 5BD for a while and now navigating maintenance. Some thoughts take longer time to sink in for me. I feel…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

This morning my weight has dropped by 0.6 kg / 1.2 lbs, from the sudden over-eating weight:

51.6 kg / 113.8 lbs / 17.2 bmi

I’ll do another 3B day today.

It’s not that I’m against weight gain. It’s that I’d rather it come slowly and steadily by me increasing my daily meals bite by bite, and not from one or two days of mad o…[Read more]

So weigh in was a lot better than I expected BUT I am so close to 400lbs that is is scary. The last 20lbs I have really felt on my body, in the way I move, in the amount I want to move, in how I fit in spaces in the world. This is the most scary thing to me. So my first goal is to get that 20lbs off asap and then cruise to goal from there – lol! I…[Read more]

Hi Kylie!

Good to see yet another fellow 5-biter.

Hi everyone!

For my second meal I had a 3B piece of a sandwich straight from the freezer without thawing it or putting it in the air-fryer for a minute. It was a bit strange. I managed to stay focused for the rest of the day, even with cooking up a little snack for tomorrow. It’s a relaxing process with the 5B sometimes.

All the best until next…[Read more]

Welcome back!

Congrats!! Well done x

Hi everyone!

I’m still in maintenance. Instead of 6B like I thought was a good idea yesterday, I’m doing 3B today. I feel so good with smaller meals! Aiming for stability. Fewer bites = less apetite stimulation.

For my first meal I had 3 bites of a chocolate cereal bar. Very lovely!

All the best until next time!

Hi everyone!

I engaged in a bout of over-eating, eventually finding out that indeed, I do not like peanuts coated with wasabi. I have tasted (a lot) and tossed the nuts. I plan to stick to six bites per meal over the coming days. I think it was a bit to intense for me to increase the number of bites every day.

All the best until next time!

My pleasure, Alaska Gal!

It’s easier with smaller bites, I know it sounds a bit contra-intuitive.

Eating more sparks more hunger for me. I’ve tested it plenty of times!

Ok! Well geez.

Dig deep time!

Thank you very much!

Hi again everyone!

Going by what I understand as the dividing line between morning weigh-in after bathroom (weight-loss phase) and morning weigh-in before bathroom (maintenance phase). Meaning that when the before bathroom weigh-in is at goal weight, I shift to it. Is that right? (And with this in mind, anything above goal weight then shifts back…[Read more]

Wait a  minute… I see that I’ve kept my maintenance weight chart incorrectly. In maintenance the weight used is from right after getting up in the morning, before using the bathroom. I’ve wrongly continued to use the after-bathroom data. I’ll look over my notes and update my weight chart. Just out of curiousity.
