That’s awesome to hear Carmel!  And weighing every morning helps me, but I only weigh once, and then I only document my weight loss for the entire week once that week is over.  That helps me not obsess about the scale.  Because if I follow 5BD correctly, those numbers WILL move.

I had 5 bites for lunch with my vitamins.  Two shrimp tempura with…[Read more]

Hello All,  Great question Mel, and a great idea! I agree with you, HealthyRN, a much needed encouragement and time to put stress eating and extra bites in the rear view mirror. It’s time to seize our very amazing opportunity.  We can do this!  Today I had 5 bites at 11 (a 2 oz luna bar) and I’m waiting to have my next meal between 4 and 5 PM.  L…[Read more]

Central!

Absolutely HealthyRN!  We deserve to feel healthier, and this is an awesome tool to get there quick.  We’ve let too many bites and stress overtake us in the past, but NOT today.  😁

Hi!
Thank you so much for this much needed encouragement! Let’s be perfect today!!

That sounds great! What time zone are you in?  I’m PST.

Thank you to both of you ladies! Tomorrow I’m going to give it my all. We got this!  Let’s check in here. I love the support!

Thank you Carmel!  I was also eating around 11 am and 3 pm.  It’s been hard waiting until five.  But when I eat earlier, I feel hungry the next morning, which makes it harder to wait for lunch.  Let’s see what kind of results next Thursday brings for me.  Meanwhile, I’m rooting you on!  We will have great results.

You are so sweet! Yup, lets go!

Congrats Mel!  9 lbs is amazing! I’m glad to know that when I am sticking to my two  5 bites meals  tomorrow there are others who are doing the exact same.  I am not alone.  I’ll be curious to know if you have more success eating at noon and 5.  I usually eat at 11 and again at 3.  Skipping evening meals seems  easier for me.  My kids are grown so…[Read more]

Thanks!  Look at you, though.  21 pounds gone! I look forward to being able to post results like that.  Yes!  No more bad habits.  Feeling more energetic and confident is a beautiful thing.  Let’s go!

Heather, reading your story was inspirational.  You are so close to your goal and it is quite impressive.  What a great chance to make such a change in your career and location all while being 40 lbs lighter.  And you are so young.  I’m 58 and just now  tackling this.  From where I stand, I can only wish I was that young when I found this amazi…[Read more]

Thank you Mel! Those old habits get us every time. No more old ways.   You are an inspiration too!

Talking to you today helped me stay on target.  I have a tough time waiting until 5 pm for dinner, but I did it!  It was because I reflected on your struggle.  I know you will get back on track.  Just remember the joy of last week.  A little work, and more joy is headed your way.  A lot is going on in your life right now, so you deserve to have that joy.
