It’s a lot to gain in 1 week–too much for sure–but it’s a great learning experience.  As you said, it just wasn’t worth it.  And all the food you ate wasn’t going anywhere.  You can have more of it today, if you want.  So it is NEVER worth eating extra just to eat extra.

So, spend the next day or two resetting your hungerstat to 5, and get bac…[Read more]

Ok I am back again, My plan was to maintain for 2 weeks, first week I did ok but second week TOM hit and my appetite went crazy and my and I just didn’t seem to care, I regret now because the weight I gained definitely wasn’t worth it, I went from 121 to 132 lbs that is just crazy how is it even possible to gain that much weight in one week?

HI R Sikes!  Yes, we have had members on this site who have lost over 100 pounds.  You can look at the B&A’s on this site and see some of them.  You will also find their stories in some of the earlier chats.  But YOU will be the next one, right?  It starts today, and hopefully it ends in just a few months.  Are you up for it?  Also, be sure you ta…[Read more]

Every Monday, 6:00 PM PST.  You will need to set up a [free] Zoom account at Zoom.us.

Now more than ever, Tao, you need to follow through and finish this journey.  I think we can cure your DM, and can get your CHF under much better control.  I don’t know the particulars of your case, but I would bet that when you cross the finish line you will be on a fraction of what you currently take, and feel 1000% better!  Let’s do this!  

Hi Rebekah!  Yay!  We are going to have so much fun!  

Yeah!  Good job!

Hi again…

Bummer on the diabetes and CHF.  I’m glad you got that all worked out and are back on track.  Every now and then we have speed bumps in life, and it sounds like you maneuvered that well and are ready to go again.  I will be happy to see your weight next Thursday when you weigh in-it is going to be great and when you get to your GW, yo…[Read more]

Thanks Tao!  We’ve all gotta find what works best for our bodies, don’t we?  Good job on your 17 pounds!  Wow!  Yeah!

Hey All,

I’m back at this. I had to take some time to adjust my life (with the Doc’s blessings).

Full disclosure: I’m a Type 2 Diabetic
AND I have
Congestive Heart Failure.

So with all the meds I take for blood pressure, diuresis, diabetes, cholesterol (ad nauseam) WITH the low food intake, I really needed to get it all straight to safely…[Read more]

Hi Ann,
From your own thread, here (and your weight tracker, above), I see you’re keeping on keepin’on!
BRAVO!

I see how your meals being late, and your final just before bed, is keeping the cravings to a minimum. Good show!

Peace,
Tao

I’ll join right now! Thanks so much!

  If you are on facebook, and haven’t joined the Why Weight Around Warriors facebook page, I would encourage you do to so.  There are lots of tips and posts from others on the 5 bite.  Have a great day!

Thank you for your encouragement!

You are welcome.  You can do this!  Just take one hour/one day at a time and find what works for you and your body.  Good job on the 3 pounds!  Next week it will be 13 or more!  Hang in there and make today a 5 bite success…

I lost 3 pounds. The first two days were ok but I caved in to temptation several times. Every day I “start over”. I’m trying. I really am. I need to stop trying and just DO.  Thank you for asking

When is it?

Welcome Rebekahylon…how was your first week?

I describe this in pretty good detail in the first chat I gave a year or two again.  Maybe you can join me at my next chat and I can go over this in more detail.  Sound good?

Right Barbie.  And this whole journey is a learning process.  You will learn how to control physical hunger, mental hunger, and how much better life is when you are thin.  The trick, as always, is to barrel your way to the finish line at all costs.  THEN Stage 2 begins, and your life is going to be spectacular!

For now, when you get those ove…[Read more]
