Exactly right!  That is exactly right!

Hi Mel, I hope you are doing well today.

Thank you, my husband is a pretty awesome guy! We have been married for 34 years and, over the course of MOST of our life together,  he has watched me chase this and that…studying the minutia of nutrition, doing various diets (almost non-stop through the years), doing lengthy fasts,  and doing all s…[Read more]

You are truly awesome to have the power to say no to a food court!  All the delicious smells are a stress eating trigger!  But now you know you can always go back and eat 5 bites of whatever you want.  Your trip with your husband must have been nice because you could focus on the conversation over a zero calorie drink and smirk at the food on hi…[Read more]

Lol!  I look forward to a whole new wardrobe at the end of this.  Since I will be stopping at 104, with a better plan on how to be healthy and not gain the weight back, I’ll save up and buy  a few better made, classic pieces of clothing that will last for awhile.  My quality of life is improving, I might as well buy quality clothing to match!

Thank you Mel.  We encourage each other, truly!  I like that “5BD Power Team” LOL. I agree…weight loss GOLD!  Dr. Lewis is so patient and kind…and enthusiastic is the understatment of the day concerning him.  But I guess when you’re that thin energy and happy  truly abound.  He is a great example.   I stumbled on this program rather indire…[Read more]

Right–and then back out of the them again.  The will be too BIG for you!!!

I’ve been very encouraged by your success and commitment.  I think we are turning into a 5BD power team with Dr. Lewis.  The meeting he had with us was very encouraging, and to hear your insight, Sheila’s determination, and Dr. Lewis’ passion and how much he cares for us really touched and amazed me.  I realized that we have struck weight loss gol…[Read more]

It is pretty amazing how this works every time we commit. Mel, I’m thrilled by your success! I know you are going to take this all the way to your goal.

I have to say this week’s challenge has kept me from exercising any options I have afforded myself in the past.  During weak moments of hunger, knowing that you are all counting on me, and…[Read more]

It does feel amazing!  A little over three weeks ago I had lost hope that I would ever get control of my weight and I began giving my smaller sized clothes away.  I’m glad I stopped!  Within a few months I will be fitting back into them again.

Fantastic!!  Doesn’t it feel amazing!  Maybe for the first time in a while, you have absolute control over your weight!  Isn’t this great!!!

I’m shocked!  I just got here, started looking around, and suddenly dropped a bunch of weight.  This place is AWESOME!!

Mel!  Way to go!!!  Look at your total pounds down…18!

You must feel so good!

Keep on a goin’!

I’m very conscious of our commitment and haven’t fallen off the wagon. I’m still going strong, and will weigh Monday morning.

We are 1/2 way through the week!

Today was my weekly weigh in and I’m down almost six more pounds.  Woo hoo!  I’m still counting down for our weight loss competition, Carmel and Sheila!

I’m still having problems with the weight tracker, but the weight loss is correct.  Today was my weekly weigh in and I’ve lost 6 pounds.  That means I went from the 190’s to The 170’s in three weeks time!

Thanks!  Three bites of Choco Taco made me smile.  Bliss!

Congrats on your five pound loss this week!  Super awesome!  My weigh in is tomorrow morning.  I hope I will have lost that much too.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Way to go Mel! It’s late so this will be short…your post made me smile. Loved your story from today!  Talk again tomorrow. :bye:</p>

*Applause *Applause!  I LOVED that! And it’s so very kind of Dr. Lewis to help us in between as we show this challenge WHOSE BOSS!!  You continue to knock it out of the park, Carmel.  I love the determination and grace you show.

Sheila, please let us know how you’re doing.  We’re here for encouragement. We are on YOUR team. #TeamSheila :)…[Read more]
