Carmel

I’m glad I didn’t make any bets on the Dodgers losing!  Congrats to your team, Dr. Lewis!

It sounds as if you’re determined and doing great!  After 18 I’m ready for my 5 bites, so I can imagine that you would be too after 20!!  Wow.  I look to the day soon where I will be at Carmel’s weight, and hen yours!  Thanks for the inspiration.

So today was my weigh in and it was a little disappointing. Only two pounds down.  No extra bites, and I ate mainly the same thing every day.  I don’t know if the slow down is hormonal or not, but I’m sticking firm to this diet.  Today I am starting bars for a week to see if that makes the difference.  I want as good or even better…[Read more]

Way to go Gail!  I have started bars today also, so I am with you and HealthyRN today.  (You can do it, HealthyRN!  Your cooking friends will all be complaining about the ten pounds they gained by the end of the year.  But you (and Gail) will be floating away, doing happy spins around town in your new outfits you had to buy because your other clo…[Read more]

How did you do on the bars today Gayle?  I’m going on bars for a week on my next weigh in day on Thursday because my weight loss slowed down despite 5 bites twice a day.  So that will probably be my reset.  I think Carmel is right.  You won’t be here much longer because you’re so close!

It’s okay Dr. Lewis.  I’ll share my winning team with you.  I’m not selfish.

Dr. Lewis, I meant I’m LOSING all around, but I have the WINNING team.  Neener! Neener! Ha.

Thanks!  I’m remaining firm.  I’m going to start going through my clothing and start picking out things that were too tight when I started 5BD three weeks ago that will probably fit me know.  Yay!

I love 5BD!  By the way, Giants won last night!  I’m winning all around. Ha ha.

Hey Carmel!  Hello Gail and HealthyRN!

I need to get caught up on all of the posts today.  Sorry I neglected them the past couple of days.

Chat was great!  It’s not easy for me, because I’m a bit socially awkward and it’s not a comfortable thing, but I am thrilled the privilege is there.  So you’re stuck with me!  It was delightful to meet Heal…[Read more]

You are truly awesome to have the power to say no to a food court!  All the delicious smells are a stress eating trigger!  But now you know you can always go back and eat 5 bites of whatever you want.  Your trip with your husband must have been nice because you could focus on the conversation over a zero calorie drink and smirk at the food on hi…[Read more]

Lol!  I look forward to a whole new wardrobe at the end of this.  Since I will be stopping at 104, with a better plan on how to be healthy and not gain the weight back, I’ll save up and buy  a few better made, classic pieces of clothing that will last for awhile.  My quality of life is improving, I might as well buy quality clothing to match!

I’ve been very encouraged by your success and commitment.  I think we are turning into a 5BD power team with Dr. Lewis.  The meeting he had with us was very encouraging, and to hear your insight, Sheila’s determination, and Dr. Lewis’ passion and how much he cares for us really touched and amazed me.  I realized that we have struck weight loss gol…[Read more]

It does feel amazing!  A little over three weeks ago I had lost hope that I would ever get control of my weight and I began giving my smaller sized clothes away.  I’m glad I stopped!  Within a few months I will be fitting back into them again.

I’m shocked!  I just got here, started looking around, and suddenly dropped a bunch of weight.  This place is AWESOME!!

Today was my weekly weigh in and I’m down almost six more pounds.  Woo hoo!  I’m still counting down for our weight loss competition, Carmel and Sheila!

I’m still having problems with the weight tracker, but the weight loss is correct.  Today was my weekly weigh in and I’ve lost 6 pounds.  That means I went from the 190’s to The 170’s in three weeks time!

Thanks!  Three bites of Choco Taco made me smile.  Bliss!

Congrats on your five pound loss this week!  Super awesome!  My weigh in is tomorrow morning.  I hope I will have lost that much too.
