Activity

Thank you Dr. Lewis and Carmel!  I’m definitely sticking to the stricter plan.  I didn’t miss the optional two bites and I believe any hunger or cravings was better kept at bay this way, and also with the smallish bites vs. the regular to large bites.  Let’s get this over with!  Lol.  I’m anxious to get out my skinny clothes from my first 5BD su…[Read more]

Okay, thank you!  I’ll try that and see if I can correct it.

Hip Hip Hooray!!!  So proud of you!  You inspired me and I moved off bars yesterday to real food…5 perfect bites too!  We are doing it!

Fantastic!!

Brilliant!!

I truly do love that quote, Carmel: “We don’t have to do this, we GET to do this.”  This is SO TRUE!

Hi Mel.

You can change it.  Go to the weight tracker page and change Week 1 and Week 2 (In the “Add Your Current Weight” label) to reflect the correct weights after those weeks.  Change Week 3 to the same weight as Week 2, and after the 3rd week then you can change it again to the correct weight at that time.  OK?

Haha.  Yes, “Carmel Style” is working very well for me today.  It’s getting closer to dinner time, and I haven’t missed the optional two bites.  And I re-evaluated my bite size, and am now taking bites as if I were at a fancy dinner party.  I had some great energy from this diet today, and a wonderful sense of well-being.  I’m getting things…[Read more]

I LOVE the way you said all of that.  What a positive mindset!  No frustrations with this diet, as their are with others.  I don’t feel like a failure over and over again trying to find the right road to weight loss as I do with other diets.  This is the one that works!  And it’s so affordable, you’re making money back on all of the groceries…[Read more]

Congrats Mel!!!  As my grandmother used to say, “That’s nothing to sneeze at!”  Which I think was the 1940’s way of saying “it’s worth noting!” Great work!  You are inspiring!

“Carmel style”…you made me laugh.  I feel  like the least of examples (but my enthusiasm DOES run high!)

Patient endurance wins the race.

Mel, my best to you going forward this week with 5 bites.  I know you will crush it!

Healthy RN, my best to you too starting a fresh on so many levels at once.  You sound like a very strong person. I know you will get your rhythm soon, and have the joy of controlling your health through weight loss.

We are really doing something truly amazing f…[Read more]

Good morning Good Morning Everyone!  How is everything going for you today?  Any new resolves or changes to how you do things to get rid of the weight quickly?  Is anyone able to take out a little time for themselves to relax?  I’m curious to know how others are implementing their 5BD and what is working for them.

You have a lot going on, just like Heather does!  Moving is so stressful, so you must be excited to get into that new home.  And a new job is a whole different frontier, and I hope you absolutely love it.

I think if life presently won’t let you dive in to the 5 bites, Temporary modification until you get there could work.  My husband is modi…[Read more]

Hi Mel, I absolutely love your post. My weigh in day is Sunday. I have not been perfect. Our family is in the process of moving to a new house. We received the keys to the new house a few days ago. We spilt our days between both houses making repairs and preparing for the hired movers to bring our large household in a few weeks. In addition to…[Read more]
