Carmel

Glad to see you here Sheila.  I joined last April and had great success until I gave up in August.  I’m back and ready to go! This is such a great program, and glad to know you know it works. Can’t wait to meet you on tonights chat!

I love that insight too.  Thank you for sharing.

Monday night is the Zoom chat with Dr. Lewis, 6:00 PST.

Dr. Lewis, are you having a call  this week?

Yes I agree!

What a GREAT report Mel! I love all the positivity too! It really helps.  Another wonderful weekend under your belt!  You are spot on!  Soon those clothes are going to bag on you Do you still like eating at noon and 5 better than earlier?

I just had dinner at my sons house, whom we haven’t seen in months. I was a bit nervous without my…[Read more]

GREAT insights Gayle, thank you!  Thanks for letting me pick your brain.  I didn’t realize about the 2-3 lbs once you stop eating 5Bites.  Good to know! Love “never miss the food I chose not to eat”!

Thanks for sharing all the ways you get through tough times.  It’s always nice to know how others are succeeding and that all the discomfort will be worth it.

I can’t wait to know how skinny feels, too.

The goal I set for myself when I landed here was 127 which was my lowest adult weight. But that was for about 6 months  when I was 22…I was a…[Read more]

Carpi Diem…love that! I live on the  southern most coast of Maine.  It’s a grey day here, and the crispness of  fall is in the air, but the beach has it’s own kind of beauty right now. I hope you are having a great and successful day at the beach,  Gayle. Glad you have begun.  Welcome to this side of 5 biting!

Yes, I want this toxic fat GONE…[Read more]

What I love about this plan is that if we just do it, it takes care of the weight loss on its own. We just eat our recommended portions  and voila! Down another pound (or more!) ! As I’ve heard Dr. Lewis say,”One foot in front of the other.”

I’ve started thinking about my 5 bites, or my bar, as a prescription, an Rx, from Dr. Lewis. (I come at…[Read more]

Hello All!

Dr Lewis I just love that idea too…we GET to do this.  My “want to do this/get to do this”  effortlessly pulls me forward. My “have to to do this/should do this” shoves me from behind.  It’s a much different experience between the two.  The first is full of joy, the second is full resentment.

Mel, I had a great day yesterday – sup…[Read more]

Hi all,

I love reading these posts.  I get so excited when I see a new one!

Gayle, I’m so glad you got my text.  I wasn’t sure it would reach you.  I’m glad you are rejoining for a bit.  It will be fun to watch you nail it back down before it gets out of hand.  As we get older, it gets harder, but only without the 5BD.  This is an amazing tool!…[Read more]

Go Mel!  Can’t wait to hear about your progress.  My weigh in is this Weds.  I can’t wait to see what I’ve accomplished also.

Thanks Gayle for chiming in!  So glad to see you here!  A smaller portions and a healthy relationship with food is  definitely what I’m after.

Hip Hip Hooray!!!  So proud of you!  You inspired me and I moved off bars yesterday to real food…5 perfect bites too!  We are doing it!

Congrats Mel!!!  As my grandmother used to say, “That’s nothing to sneeze at!”  Which I think was the 1940’s way of saying “it’s worth noting!” Great work!  You are inspiring!

“Carmel style”…you made me laugh.  I feel  like the least of examples (but my enthusiasm DOES run high!)

Patient endurance wins the race.

Mel, my best to you going forward this week with 5 bites.  I know you will crush it!

Healthy RN, my best to you too starting a fresh on so many levels at once.  You sound like a very strong person. I know you will get your rhythm soon, and have the joy of controlling your health through weight loss.

We are really doing something truly amazing f…[Read more]

Thanks for all the VERY encouraging and inspiring words Mel!  I’m so excited by your resolve and success!  Yesterday and today I’ve nailed it!  I had another drama moment come my way last night, and I pushed through.  I confronted it with healthy boundaries,  and I did not turn to food to offset the pain.   The whole situation dissolved rathe…[Read more]

Good work Mel!!! Congrats on being back on track!  You know, this past week is the first time I’ve stepped into the community forum.  I’m so glad I did.  It really makes a difference to have community accountability.

Mel, I love your observation that bigger bites don’t taste better. I know you are going to recover from this Stress bites don’t taste better either lol. If we were perfect we wouldn’t be here. But it’s so good to be here
