Sounds great, Brenda! I look forward to hearing how it goes! :cheer:

My, goodness! So sorry, Beth! I must say that I’m amazed you’re doing so well with 5biting while having pneumonia!!

I hope both health issues resolve very quickly. I know you’re having great success with 5biting and are improving your health in many ways at this very moment!

Checking in after a perfect 5-bite day (day 1 of this challenge).

Great job, Smaro!!

I’m so excited for all of us. I know we will have amazing results after 2 weeks of perfection!! :cheer:

Thank you so much, Gayle, for your support!

Yesterday was much easier again. I have occasional hunger and fatigue, but, again, I’m just so amazed by how mild they are and how infrequently they hit.

This is a very busy week, but I am striving to stay focused. After all the craziness has passed, I will be thinner and stronger. I will not look…[Read more]

Welcome, Brenda! It sounds like you’re off to a great start!!

You definitely do not have to do Snickers. I have done the diet before and lost a lot of weight without ever having a snickers or any kind of bar. I just took 5 bites of whatever everyone else was eating or whatever I particularly wanted to eat!

I have recently come back to the…[Read more]

Great idea, Smaro! I’m in for two perfect weeks!!

I probably won’t take pictures, but I will check-in daily with details. So exciting!! :cheer:

You are a wonderful example, Sharonmarie! And you look great!! :cheer:

Thank you! I made it through!!

Dr. Lewis, I’m sure it wouldn’t have been worth it if I’d had an extra bar. But, of course, the bigger problem is that I probably wouldn’t have stopped with one more bar. My boundaries would have been destroyed, and I most likely would’ve given up and overeaten at that meal and all the others following. I know…[Read more]

Wow!! Wonderful results, Beth! You’re doing great!! :cheer:

I’m back to check in again because I’m struggling greatly right now! I just had my bar for lunch and felt like I absolutely could not stop. I desperately wanted to (still want to!) rip open another one . . .

I’ve had more hunger than usual this morning for some reason and have been watching the clock looking forward to lunch time. Also, I…[Read more]

Another thought: My 21st anniversary is coming up on May 25th. Although we don’t usually do anything big, we’ll probably at least go out to dinner or something. So I’m going to use that date as a mini-motivator with an extremely realistic goal. I think I can be at or below 135 before then, so I am going to be looking forward to that reward!

I made it through two weeks of perfect bar days! Yay!! This morning was my weigh-in, and I’ve lost 4 pounds this week. Again, yay!!

As of right now, I still have no specific plan for transitioning out of bars. And I definitely won’t make any changes unless I have a specific plan ahead of time! So bars again for today . . .

I feel that one…[Read more]

You will do brilliantly getting back on track, staying focused, and losing fast!! Remember your perfect week of nothing but bars? You have proven your strength and determination!! You can do this! :cheer:

Yes, I hope the race goes well and that you exceed your expectations! :cheer:

Great job, Socal! And I love your plan!! :cheer:

Thank you, Smaro and Gayle!!

And “yay for us!”, Smaro. Now we know that we’re among the strong ones! WE CAN DO THIS!!

I’ve been all over the place the past 3 days with a full schedule which was already planned in addition to lots of unexpected craziness. But I have stayed perfectly on track with my 2 bars a day.

Tomorrow is the last day of…[Read more]

So glad you’re here, Beth! If you’ve done it before, you can certainly do it again and will surely reach your goal very quickly!

So sorry to hear you got sick. Congratulations on being back to skinny! Great job!! :cheer:

Thank you, Polly! I’m so glad you’re still on the forum even though you’re struggling. When I fell off the diet my first week, I made the mistake of staying away altogether . . .

Please know that I am the worst with struggling to get a good start and sticking to this. Now I’m doing really well. Sometimes I have to pinch myself – did I really…[Read more]

Yesterday was day 10! That means we’re 5/6 of the way through our challenge . . . Ready for a strong finish!! :cheer:
