Today’s my b-day, and with my husband out to sea, I’m kinda lonely. I woke up this morning, and to my sheer delight, I’m 5lbs lighter. Happy dance!!:woohoo:

Well, LOL it seems my system has had it with black beans. Instead, I bought the thin-sliced boneless/skinless chicken breast, and I usually cook 1 slice up and have that in a whole grain tortilla. After 5 bites (and I’ve been really good at keeping my bites the same size), I’m done with it, and my dogs get the extra leftovers (chicken—-yummy!!! lol)

It might be that your operating system is old and you need to update it on your home computer. But if you have to ‘stay late’ a little tonight to join in the chat, we would love having you!!

Be careful about this, though…I advise against ESTIMATING 5 bites, or you are bound to eat too much. Rather, relish in the pleasure of being able to stop (with will power alone) after your fifth (small) bite. Then life will be glorious.

Good Luck, we all have your back and I still have a little over 100lbs to lose so good luck to you this time around.

It happens, I resisted eating like everybody else over the weekend when I went to the ocean, but was glad I stuck to the 5BD, just becasue I want to be thin more than anything and to be honest, nobody really noticed I only had 5 bites.

You can do it, just stick to the plan and it will work. I lost 20 lbs the first week and just about fell off my…[Read more]

Way to go Rae!!! That sounds wonderful. I love this forum for all these ideas…i think that is what I will do the next time my fiance orders in…just take out 5 bites and put away the rest (therefore no temptation!!!)

Rae, Dr. Lewis is right, I went on an eating spree on saturday & sunday, only because I was with my fiance…and what do I have to show for it…just weight gain and feeling bloated and blah…so I am back with a vengeance and will stay focused on this diet until the wieght comes off.

Good Luck to everyone!!!

Rae –

In response to question #1, this diet does not make you want to binge. Just the opposite – this diet subdues your hunger so that you are less hungry. Whether or not you go on an ‘eating spree’ is entirely up to you–but your appetite won’t be the one egging you on.

In terms of your body going into starvation mode and then ‘storing fat’,…[Read more]

Again, Rae, I think you have the perfect frame of mind to do exceedingly well and to never worry about your weight again. You will discover how easy losing weight is, and then all is downhill from there. Surprise your mother, husband, and everyone else who knows you. But I Agree…don’t tell anyone what you are doing until you are done, then…[Read more]

Welome Rae!!! You will do great! We are all here to support you!

I think Mondays sound great too! I may have to restart on Monday though…bad weekend…I really need to stay focused because I know this can work…I’ve already got my Snickers bars all set for the week!

I’d just like to say that I get a lot of encouragement with reading everyone’s posts here!! Thanks everyone!!

Monday’s sound great to me! I hope we will all chime in on mondays for this one. I think it will help greatly. Thanks

This is up to you all, but I’ll throw my 2 cents in: Monday. Most people have an easier time staying focused during the weekdays, but fall apart on the weekends. BUT, if you know that weigh in is on Monday (and since you won’t have time to ‘make up’ your indiscretions over the weekends) Monday seems like a great day. But again, it’s up to y’all.

Hi! I would love to do the weekly weigh in, since I am having a terrible time keeping focused. This is a very easy diet and the first few days were great, but once I stepped off I feel that I have Had trouble getting back on. What day is a good day for our weekly weigh ins for everyone. gettyskinny

Wow, I find that amazing! But, I will try it. I am a candy lover so I guess it won’t be hard for me. Thanks.

For people who tend to fall of the weight loss curve, they are simply taking in too many calories. Usually this happens by allowing your bite sizes to get too big–sometimes without even realizing it. So I suggest making it easy on yourself for 1 week: 1 Snickers bar for lunch, and 1 for dinner. No other food, and don’t drink your…[Read more]

Day 2 – 2 pound loss!!!!

Yaaaaay!

I’m going to try to stick to this diet as strictly as possible this weekend, but I think I may have to reset my Day 1 as Monday!!!

I’ll keep you all posted!
