Thanks so much for joining us tonight, Gayle!  You are such and inspiration and remind us of what living an exceptional life looks like!

Another great pep talk last night!

I am definitely struggling with a wall that hits me on Thursdays, usually after 3 days of success on the plan.  Thanks for all the tips tonight from Gayle and Dr. L!  We will get me over this wall this week, and through my first perfectly on plan week on 5BD (after years of being off and on plan, ug). :h…[Read more]

Hi I Got this!!

Excited to have you back in the group! We have all been in that place where we lose focus. Important thing to remember is that you have done it before and WILL do it again. Let’s go!!

Happy Monday! Made it through the weekend and feeling great. I was going to skip bars today but feeling like food is NOT important today. Getting to my low goal before vacation is what I want to do. I will have earned my vacation indulgent meals. I know that I will return with then need to diet but hopefully less so as I am…[Read more]

Welcome back!  That is a nice drop your first few days.  See you tonight!

thanks!

Welcome back!

There isn’t a simple button you can push to reset it, but this is what you can do:

Change the weights for weeks 1-5 to your current weight.  Then, as the weeks tick by, adjust 2-5, then 3-5, then 4-5 (etc) to your updated weight for that week.  After 5 weeks you’ll be all caught up.  OK?

Whoosh!! Didn’t see a loss yesterday but it all works itself out if I just stick to the process.  Did bars yesterday and was thinking about doing food but part of me would like to get to low goal because I know my weight will naturally bump up with salt. Also- even though I like the way I look and feel at 117, I’m prep…[Read more]

Thanks so much. I will stop weighing every day.

The main concern with weighing daily is that, subconsciously, you adjust your bites to fit the number on the scale.  I don’t want you to do that.  I simply want you to follow the diet EXACTLY as I’ve laid it out, and then look forward to your weigh-in day once a week.  ( I do alter this a bit once you are done losing weight, but we are not there yet.)

Brilliant!!

The book suggests weighing in once a week. Is there any exception to this? I would love to understand the thinking/ science behind this.

Good morning everyone!  Yesterday was a great day!  Perfect on plan, with a 1lb loss this morning.  I will take that happily. I may add in some gentle walking today to see if I can get that daily loss a little higher tomorrow.

Yes indeed!  I LOVE that attitude!!!

Wonderful chat with Dr. Lewis last night!  Today I am feeling focused, motivated, fully committed and ready to get this done.  My food plan is my “spouse” for the next 100 days. We aren’t going to slowly chip away at this fat anymore, we are going to melt it away fast.  After all, this is a race for my life!

I like that!  You can start collecting tiny meals.  See how many new, tiny, complete meals you can come up with!

This is Day 1 of not counting bites, but eating fixed meals of standard bites like:

Cereal bars

Candy bars (with nuts for the protein)

Protein bars

Breadstick+cheese or egg

I have counted the bites in all these tiny tiny meals and they fit into the five bite diet. Each one of them contains about 200-250 Kcals. So i don’t have to count bites…[Read more]

Right on!
