Gayle, this is all so wonderful. Thank you!!!

Yes, I need to commit to this 100%. I CAN do this. Thank you for reminding me of that!

Today (Monday) has been great. Because of your bar challenge and the fact that I had no bars in the house and no time to shop, I have eaten nothing. But it feels so good to empty out all the way and be off to…[Read more]

My Current Plan is:
3 meals of 5 bites each, resulting in the volume of each meal totaling about ¼ cup

So fabulous that you’re joining! I love bars to reset because it helps me DETACH from food and get the hunger (both mental and physical) under control!!

Glad you like the rules. This is about really focusing on the PROCESS!!

Gayle

Remind me of your first name.

Yay! Dr. Collins is BACK!! Phyllis, I am on an airplane now and will likely be in transit and unavailable for the chat.

Vacation was a challenge but I am back focused on the PROCESS!! I got that tidbit from you. No judgements – Just focusing on the PROCESS!! Love that. Started a bar challenge for 11 days to get back in maintenance range.

I just wanted to see if anyone is planning to be at the chat tonight.

:kiss:I will be there, and others have said they plan to attend also. I look forward to seeing you there. I know that Eastern is 3 hrs ahead of Pacific, and that 6 Pacific is 9 p.m. Eastern. I think that Central time is 2 hrs ahead of Pacific time, which…[Read more]

Ok, I’m in, too!

I read this challenge this morning and was thinking I should join (even though I’ve always been committed to eating “real” food for this diet- maybe bars will help me through the first few weeks anyway!). But I didn’t have any bars and wasn’t sure I could fit in a trip to the store before lunch. Well, it turns out I couldn’t.…[Read more]

I’ll be following your progress, Gayle! What a great feeling to know that you can manage a small gain and return to your former weight, using these 5B tools. I like the feeling of the long fast built into the plan, and I think that’s when I begin to use the many calories I carry around! Best wishes, and I’ll “see” you online!

Michelle, I, too, had exercise-induced asthma, but didn’t realize it. I thought everybody coughed for an hour after a few miles of running! After a severe respiratory infection in my early thirties, I developed a chronic condition. I’ve been on asthma meds 2x/day for 30+ years, but am now using an inhaler only 1x/day and am less symptomatic.

I am…[Read more]

The graphic above shows that my “IDEAL” maintenance weight range
is between 115 and 105 pounds, which is for ME, a BMI range of between 22.5 and 20.5.
Here are a couple of pictures which show my body at…[Read more]

Gayle, thank you! You are such an inspiration to me.

I am really glad I joined up because its already helped me get over the “first 3 days” hurdle with ease. Last night was a little tough because I was very hungry and I have bad habits after dinner of snacking while watching movies with my family. I realized I do that just because its there and…[Read more]

Remember to DREAM BIG!! The reason why the Little Blue Engine made it up that BIG hill, pulling the cargo of a much bigger engine is because she knew she could (my favorite childhood story).

Hi reached a lower weight than what I can ever recall having Weighed. Probably less than I weighed in middle school. My goal was only to reach 125 pounds…[Read more]

OH yes, you are totally right and for some reason he gets a little possessive of me and my time. Hmmm…I know it stems from his insecurity and such but that’s his issue, not mine and I reassure him all the time. The days of him sabotaging my efforts are long gone and we have had more than one discussion about that! Still, once he sees my success…[Read more]

Hi 5bitegirl! Thanks for the welcome!

I hope I reach my goal quickly. Dr Lewis suggested 130 for me and that makes me nervous as I haven’t weighed that little since I was 23 or younger. That’s 50lbs from now! I wonder how quickly I can get there? Now I am dreaming for sure…I will plan out a timeline in my calendar because I am just that…[Read more]

Hi Michelle!! Waving back!! You are sooo close. I say… be on the chat IF you want to be on the chat. If you don’t , that’s ok but it’s important that it is YOUR decision. It’s important to be bold and unapologetic with your goals in life. His concern is sweet but truly off point. If you have excessive weight on your body, this plan is safe. You…[Read more]

Hi Sherry! I figured out your name (silly me).
It helps to read previous posts. haha

I am pretty sure I had asthma when I was a kid but it only popped up when I exercised and goodness knows I didn’t do much of that though I was an active kid just not chronic exercise. I was a sprinter and swimmer. After swimming for a while I would try to take a…[Read more]

Hi Gayle! I know you from Facebook! *wave* Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I am so excited to get back on track. I lost my way a little bit when my mother passed away in Oct and though I have still eaten low carb I still managed to eat too much and put on almost 10lbs. I even did well during the holidays. Sometimes I get in a mode and…[Read more]

TODAY IS A NEW DAY 5 Bite Girl!! Yesterday was HISTORY!!

I can’t even count the number of times I slipped and felt like a failure. THEN…I said ENOUGH!! I joined Slimming Station and said that I would do WHATEVER IT TAKES to lose weight. I was on EVERY chat, posted throughout the day (stayed connected) and practiced saying NO to food. I cleaned…[Read more]

Tammy (TSang) is the BEST!!! Together, Tammy and I are determined to SING the praises of 5 Bites from Texas to NY and beyond!!!

Whether it is about losing or maintaining weight, 5 B and Dr. Lewis’s clear and precise, medically supported explanation are what has given us WEIGHT FREEDOM!!!
