Carmel

That’s awesome to hear Carmel!  And weighing every morning helps me, but I only weigh once, and then I only document my weight loss for the entire week once that week is over.  That helps me not obsess about the scale.  Because if I follow 5BD correctly, those numbers WILL move.

I had 5 bites for lunch with my vitamins.  Two shrimp tempura with…[Read more]

Absolutely HealthyRN!  We deserve to feel healthier, and this is an awesome tool to get there quick.  We’ve let too many bites and stress overtake us in the past, but NOT today.  😁

That sounds great! What time zone are you in?  I’m PST.

Thank you Carmel!  I was also eating around 11 am and 3 pm.  It’s been hard waiting until five.  But when I eat earlier, I feel hungry the next morning, which makes it harder to wait for lunch.  Let’s see what kind of results next Thursday brings for me.  Meanwhile, I’m rooting you on!  We will have great results.

Thanks!  Look at you, though.  21 pounds gone! I look forward to being able to post results like that.  Yes!  No more bad habits.  Feeling more energetic and confident is a beautiful thing.  Let’s go!

Talking to you today helped me stay on target.  I have a tough time waiting until 5 pm for dinner, but I did it!  It was because I reflected on your struggle.  I know you will get back on track.  Just remember the joy of last week.  A little work, and more joy is headed your way.  A lot is going on in your life right now, so you deserve to have that joy.

Moving is one of the most stressful things you can do, let alone changing a career!  Please don’t give up nor beat yourself up.  Stress eating just causes more stress.  Start fresh tomorrow!  Or, if it seems too much, maybe you could go on an altered 5BD to maintain what you’ve already lost to get you through this current stressful time and the…[Read more]

Looking forward to my first zoom chat!

Hey Heather!  How are you doing this week?

You’ll totally conquer this! Especially with your new determination. I went down to 117 years back, but went back to the old bad habits that brought me back up to 197.  This time, I’ll get down to my healthy goal weight and move into healthy eating habits. Your 20 pound loss is inspiration for me!  And sharing your fumble makes it relatable.

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone! It’s encouraging!

Does anyone know how to rest the weight tracker?  Today starts week 2 for me, but the tracker states that I’m in week 3.  I just lost 9 pounds during my first week!

Thank you!  I totally believe that.  I’m ready to feel healthy again.  Buckle up for safety!

Before, when you were 117, how long did you maintain that before you started gaining the weight back?  

I believe I maintained for about two years at that weight after 5BD.

Why did you gain the weight back?  How long did it take?  Stress (including the pandemic) got the best of me and last week I hit one pound below my highest weight ever.  It…[Read more]

Thank you!  I believe I do too!  Thank you for sharing how much you were able to lose in three months.  That’s very helpful!  I’ll be curious to see how well three months from now.

Congratulations on your accomplishment!  Yesterday was my first day on the diet, but I would be thrilled with that type of weight loss within four months.  Thank you for the extra boost of motivation.
