Mel…20 lbs!  Look how fast this is happening!  It all adds up.  And YES, to weigh LESS than you husband is a HUGE deal! Congrats!

I hope you day is going smoothly and all your 5BD plans are on right track.

We are  cheering you on!

Your sustained victory is important to us all.

Go Gayle!!!

Hello Everyone!

I’m back home.  Going away is good, but it is always a challenge to keep my habits going while I’m on a vacation.  I did really well in spite of being out of my routine. In the end, I wasn’t able to reign myself in and with perfect 5 bites as I’d hoped, BUT considering everything I only went a few bites over, and I’m proud of A…[Read more]

Morning all!  If you attended the chat last night, how did it go?  Is there another weight loss  challenge this week?

That’s great Gayle. I think you will be at your goal the next time we have our chat   We will be so excited for you!

I’m all in with discarding the excuses! Let’s go!!!

There you are Gayle!  We missed you last week! So glad you are back with us. Safe travels!

I’m on a mini-vacation now, and I’m checking this  chat feed between things. I just can’t seem to stay away, lol!

HealthyRN, I just love to talk to the community of 5 biters. Everyone here is so important to what we are doing.  Dr. Lewis says we are lik…[Read more]

Hey HealthyRN!

Good to hear from you!  Yes, it is at 6:00 PST.  The link and passwords are good…they are the  same every week.  Sometimes (not usually) Dr Lewis is a tad late so if you log on and it has not started yet, just wait a bit. He is very faithful to be there.  I’m sorry I won’t get to be there with you all  tonight.

I’m reall…[Read more]

Just checking in to let you know I will  not be in tonights meeting.  I took my husband away on a 2 day vacation celebrating my his  bday.  I forgot about my upcoming plans when I was in last week’s meeting.  (still 5-biting while away) But I’ll be back next week.

This past week I had less than stellar weight loss.  Down 3.3  lbs for the week.…[Read more]

Hi Mel, I hope you are doing well today.

Thank you, my husband is a pretty awesome guy! We have been married for 34 years and, over the course of MOST of our life together,  he has watched me chase this and that…studying the minutia of nutrition, doing various diets (almost non-stop through the years), doing lengthy fasts,  and doing all s…[Read more]

Thank you Mel.  We encourage each other, truly!  I like that “5BD Power Team” LOL. I agree…weight loss GOLD!  Dr. Lewis is so patient and kind…and enthusiastic is the understatment of the day concerning him.  But I guess when you’re that thin energy and happy  truly abound.  He is a great example.   I stumbled on this program rather indire…[Read more]

It is pretty amazing how this works every time we commit. Mel, I’m thrilled by your success! I know you are going to take this all the way to your goal.

I have to say this week’s challenge has kept me from exercising any options I have afforded myself in the past.  During weak moments of hunger, knowing that you are all counting on me, and…[Read more]

Mel!  Way to go!!!  Look at your total pounds down…18!

You must feel so good!

Keep on a goin’!

I’m very conscious of our commitment and haven’t fallen off the wagon. I’m still going strong, and will weigh Monday morning.

We are 1/2 way through the week!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Way to go Mel! It’s late so this will be short…your post made me smile. Loved your story from today!  Talk again tomorrow. :bye:</p>

Thanks for the pat on the back, Dr. Lewis! It helps… A LOT!

Mel, Glad you understand about talking back to sabotaging thoughts.  Sometimes I feel like a crazy person, but it works! I know what you mean about the backlash of high blood sugar.  It is much more tolerable on 5 Bites. The hunger totally disappeared in 20 mins, once I started to g…[Read more]

Mel, it was lovely just hearing your peppy voice! I totally respect and didn’t even question you not showing your face.  I’m just so happy you were there! I am cheering us all on!

This morning I woke up HUNGRY! Growling, desiring. Then I heard the voice of “fat talking” trying to leverage me off of my commitment.  But that voice met a brick w…[Read more]

Correction… the weight loss challenge MEL presented; Dr. Lewis affirmed and gave us a number to aim toward.  (Gotta give credit where credit it due )
