Activity

I couldn’t agree more with you, 5bitegirl.
Commitment and accountability is what makes the trick. And feeling that there is someone else doing this along with you and feeling the same way as you.

I believe no one will ever see you gain weight again. You are losing at a great rate and you are determined.

This will be our last time losing,…[Read more]

Yes, it can truly feel awkward. I greatly prefer it when no one mentions it!! But I don’t think you need to feel like you are hurting people’s feelings. If you say you are cutting back to lose weight or that you’re simply not hungry, they should understand.

It’s nice that we’re not on a special diet, expecting others to make or buy special things…[Read more]

Day 7- perfect!

Yes, we’re halfway through the challenge and going strong!!

And I want to thank you for starting it, Smaro. Having some accountability here on this thread is really what got me through the weekend. I had several moments of thinking I should just take a meal “off” because Ive been doing so well and because it seemed like a special…[Read more]

Day 7-perfect
Lunch………1measured cup soup
Dinner………5 bites cheese

We lasted a week!!!
Now let’s repeat.

Thank you, Dr Lewis.

I am so frustrated. I think I may be holding water from being sore but its so frustrating. I am still hovering between 179-180 this week and I haven’t had much trouble eating right so I am not sure what is going on. I theorize that its the muscle soreness (and I did run pretty hard yesterday for 6 miles after taking much of…[Read more]

Hmmm, I know exactly what you mean. It is so frustrating trying to explain why you eat so little… I almost feel that I am hurting people’s feelings when we go out to eat or invite me for lunch and I eat only a few bites…
And I am sure this is true to a degree…

Day 6….PERFECT!
Sorry for posting one day too late (once again :blush: ) but I am out of time… I am left without a car and I have to walk everywhere (schools, bank, shopping, visits, errands) which means less time for going online…

We are indeed doing this 5bitegirl!
It’s great! Everyone is making comments about my weight loss, is this…[Read more]

Perfect day 6! We’re doing this, Smaro!! :cheer:

You are really doing well, Smaro! Isn’t it FUN to be able to voluntarily eat less, tasting everything, and lose weight without being too hungry? Isn’t it EXCITING to know where this is going to take you? You–YES YOU–are going to be SKNNY! :woohoo: It’s just a matter of time.

Good for you SMARO!! There are definitely hard days AND you did it anyway!! Good for YOU

There is no faster way to your goal than BEING PERFECT! It was a hard lesson for me to learn. As I need to whittle down to the lower range of my goal YOU are reminding me of that.

Keep going strong!! Wow, You could be at goal in NO time.

GO GO GO

Weigh-in this morning: 142.5! The weight-tracker rounds it to 143, which is still fine. I am right on track with my expected average loss of 1/2 pound per day. And I’ve lost a total of 17 pounds in 3 weeks! No other diet could give me these results.

This morning is also exciting for me because it marks 3 weeks of perfection on the 5BD. Some…[Read more]

Perfect day 5!

I love hearing about your progress, Smaro. You’re doing amazing and inspiring me!!

Birthday party: Great job!! I don’t have the answer for those moments of struggle. I, too, sometimes continue to think about the food . . . But it might help to think about all the times in the future when you can have pizza or more bites of…[Read more]

Day 5: Perfect but hard…
Lunch: 5 bites puff pastry filled with feta cheese
Dinner: we went to a birthday party… It was hard with all that food. Ate 5 bites cake but I am still thinking about that pizza and all the other stuff…
How should I handle such moments (parties, gatherings,etc) without struggling?

Awesome!!! Way to go Smaro!! You are doing great!!

Thank you ladies :kiss:

I can never hear the Science enough! I still need to understand it better!!

THANKS DR LEWIS

Nice job! Great work!!

Perfect day 4!
Right now it is actually morning of day 5 for me. I didn’t have a chance to post yesterday,it was a crazy day….
So, day 4:

Lunch: 5 bites fish sticks
Dinner: 1 measured little cup (5 bites) beans

I was kind of hungry at night but I enjoyed how better I look lately and this thought kept me from eating…

Perfect day 4!
