You got this!!

Congratulations on your accomplishment!  Yesterday was my first day on the diet, but I would be thrilled with that type of weight loss within four months.  Thank you for the extra boost of motivation.

Thank you so much!

That is great news!  I am celebrating with you.  Your success is inspiring!!  You can definitely take off those last 20 pounds.

Hi Mel!  Welcome back!

Yes it will.  So, so, sweet and extraordinary.  So spectacular, in fact, what you are guys waiting for?

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hi Mel!!</p>
 

I too lost 30 pounds on this diet before I started messing up, a little extra bite here, a snack there. Luckily, I haven’t gained anything but I’m ready to get focused and get these extra pounds off for good!

I know we can do it! The victory will be so sweet 😊

Welcome, Mel.   It’s great that you are back on the 5-bite program.  Before, when you were 117, how long did you maintain that before you started gaining the weight back?  Why did you gain the weight back?  How long did it take?  And did you feel SO MUCH better at 117 than where you are now?

Hello!  Welcome back.  I’m back with a similar story, so I am rooting for you too! :D

Brilliant, Heather!  How you feel is much better than any food could have made you feel, no?

Woke up to another pound lost today!! Feeling the momentum rise! I want to look fabulous on the beach this weekend!

Great.  And if you really pay attention to your body when you are sick, you’ll realize you just aren’t hungry.  The inflammation from the infection will kill your appetite.  Granted, most people eat because they think they need the energy or something, but if anything the extra food just makes you feel worse.  So good job, and feel better soon!

Doing better today. I was happy to see a 1 pound loss this morning!

I am a little under the weather so I’ve just been resting before we go out of town this weekend. Normally I would want comfort food but not today. I’ve done great so far!

Thanks for sharing, Chapinj!

And Heather … how is today going thus far?

Hi Dr. Lewis!  What made me finally commit to perfection was two things.  First, I found myself really depressed, and I realized committing to the diet once and for all would make me feel better.  The second thing was the community. After reading so many posts on the forum, I wanted to commit and try to be perfect too!!  Not just continue to sit…[Read more]

Thank you both for the amazing encouragement and advice! I’m going to read this thread everyday until it’s effortless! Will report back tomorrow.

Hi Heather.  Right; hang in there.   You are doing this for YOU, not your parents.  You want to be thin, because YOU understand the extraordinary physical, health, and emotional benefits.  So let’s just do it.  OK?!

Please don’t justify an extra bite of anything.  NO food is healthy or beneficial in any way when you have excess fat on the body.…[Read more]

Hi!  Hang in there!!  I am new on the forum.  I started 5BD back in June.  This week is the first time I managed 3 perfect days and was able to set my hunger stat.  It is amazing once you do that.  Just three days.  Now five bites fills me up.  I feel uncomfortable now if I eat more.  Just keep repeating to yourself “never take a sixth bite”.
