Carmel

Okay, thank you!  I’ll try that and see if I can correct it.

Haha.  Yes, “Carmel Style” is working very well for me today.  It’s getting closer to dinner time, and I haven’t missed the optional two bites.  And I re-evaluated my bite size, and am now taking bites as if I were at a fancy dinner party.  I had some great energy from this diet today, and a wonderful sense of well-being.  I’m getting things…[Read more]

I LOVE the way you said all of that.  What a positive mindset!  No frustrations with this diet, as their are with others.  I don’t feel like a failure over and over again trying to find the right road to weight loss as I do with other diets.  This is the one that works!  And it’s so affordable, you’re making money back on all of the groceries…[Read more]

Good morning Good Morning Everyone!  How is everything going for you today?  Any new resolves or changes to how you do things to get rid of the weight quickly?  Is anyone able to take out a little time for themselves to relax?  I’m curious to know how others are implementing their 5BD and what is working for them.

You have a lot going on, just like Heather does!  Moving is so stressful, so you must be excited to get into that new home.  And a new job is a whole different frontier, and I hope you absolutely love it.

I think if life presently won’t let you dive in to the 5 bites, Temporary modification until you get there could work.  My husband is modi…[Read more]

That’s super awesome!  Big kudos to you for finding your strength within yourself and not in food!  Setting boundaries with our friends and loved ones is tough, because sometimes people we love know how to cut us off from the knees.  This is their own downfall in knowing how to cope with their own issues and deflecting them on us.  And food is th…[Read more]

Good morning Carmel!  Today is our new day.  Don’t let stress bully you over there, okay?  I’m going to keep mindful of my stress load over here, and give it a good ol’ throatpunch with being firm on 5BD!  Reaching my healthy goal weight will help relieve stress in that area of my life, as I continue to work on the other areas.

When will the next meeting be?  I don’t want to miss it.  

It does!  Because the last thing I want to have to do is tell everyone that I flubbed up.  Ha.  Today was perfect.  5 regular bites x2 and two regular allowed extra bites.  I plan to lose the extra bites soon.

Do you use the two extra bites?  Does anyone else here use the two extra bites?

Thank you for the encouragement, Carmel!  I stepped on the scale today, and I am back on track.  So it looks like I stalled for a day, but I am dropping again.  Stress bites are what got most of us here.  I am happy to have this time with everyone to not make food my form of stress relief.

Hello!  How is everyone doing today?  I did well yesterday Except I cold have done better at 5BD dinner time.  We were out and about and for dinner got small vegan cheeseburgers at a restaurant called Amy’s.  I hadn’t had one in awhile, and ended up taking 5 very large bites instead of keeping them regular to small in size.  The results…[Read more]

Ha…Yes Carmel, the days seem To pass a bit slower when waiting for the weight to drop.  Those Luna bars sound tasty.  And if I remember correctly they are slightly smaller than the average bar.  How did you do today?  I did really well.  But at dinner time, we had vegan burgers, and my five bites were too large.  They were from a resta…[Read more]

Got it! So you are an hour ahead of me. So I’ll be thinking of you at 11 am tomorrow my time,  because that’s your 5 bite lunch time. I hope your weekend is a little bit lighter and you get some r&r from anything hectic.

Hey Heather!  I’m just checking in and hoping your day went well, though I know you are very busy.  Sending virtual support troops your way! You’ll get through this.  :D. Keep checking in for support as you recharge with new determination.  You’re in good company here!
