7lbs a week is great! Way to go Corey! Maybe try switching it up a bit and dropping a bite here and there – I found that helps speed things up.

I have thought about that. I tend to get 6-7 bites out of a Snickers bar- guess I take small bites.
I was thinking of switching to the individually wrapped Snickers bites and just having 5…[Read more]

So I seem to be losing a pound a day. I guess that is good? Seven pounds a week isn’t terrible, but I would prefer 2 pounds a day. :dry:

Day is going well. I had some meat for my bites yesterday and it did not sit well with me at all! Guess I should have started with something a little lighter, like veggies. I am wanting to transition one meal of regular food and one meal of bars. I am hoping that will work out.

How is yours going sharonmarie??

I could give those a try.

I purchased a mocha coffee that is pretty good.

I do have a gluten intolerance that aggravates my iritis, along with dairy seeming to create a lot of mucous. I would eventually like to do vegan bars, if I could find any that taste decent.

Maybe. It was gluten-free pizza. I drank a lot of water because I thought it would help get rid of the evidence… :dry:

Unexpected early birthday dinner last night- gained 3 pounds, which is crazy. Didn’t think that I went overboard at all. I didn’t even drink any of my calories, so it was all food. :angry:

Going to fast today with just coffee and water, and then back to bars tomorrow. Going to treat myself with a bag of gourmet flavored coffee as a present,…[Read more]

You recognized it Corey and that is fab.

In the morning. What you do know Corey is that you can defintely have five bites x 2!daily.
Keep
Focused and strong now Corey. Don’t give in xx

Well, lunch was a bust for me today. Smelled great, tasted like crap. Definitely wasn’t worth it. Back on track. Thinking that I may fast tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Dr. Lewis! Hope you enjoyed your day!

I hope you are right!

Well, I have been on 2 bars only and am only down .5 from my ticker. :ohmy:
First pair of jeans fit much better. Thinking I may do a tuna pouch for dinner. Those are about 5 bites (more like 4ish, but close enough). Starting to wonder if I need more protein… :dry:

A bit disappointed this morning.

I have been on 2 bars and 2 bars only this week. Got on the scale this morning and I was only down .2 from yesterday. I even walked and drank plenty of water as well.

I decided to try on my jeans and can’t deny that they fit better than they did when I tried them on this past Friday. Guess I can’t get overly…[Read more]

Good morning (afternoon)!

I decided to work from home today. Too hard at the office yesterday with everyone bringing in their lunches. Nothing but burgers, fried fish, chicken, french fries all around. It smelled great at first and I thought I would cave, but as day wore on, it just started to smell like grease.
Looking at everyone who was…[Read more]

Unbelievable Corey. That is terrible. Thank goodness you were prepared.
You are doing great. Losing those pounds is precious xx

Thank you

I would expect kids to take things, but adults? Unbelievable. I feel like my trust with them is broken, even though it was only a 69 cent bar.

I had my coffee and my vitamin. Got to work only to find that someone stole my Snickers off of my desk! Glad that I had two in my bag, but still. :angry:

Working hard on staying focused today. I can drop down to the next 10 pounds tomorrow- I was .3 away from the next ‘decade’.

Came into the office today only to find that someone stole the Snickers off of my desk. :angry:
Glad that I had another in my backpack.

Guess I am late to this party- may I join? I have committed to doing bars for 2 weeks, then trying the regular food for 5 bites. (Maybe event 5 bites until I reach my goal. Who knows)

Welcome back Corey! That’s awesome that you finished day 2! You definitely can get to your goal by then – just keep plugging away at the 5 bite diet and you’ll get there

Is it the 7 Day Bar Challenge?

Thanks ladies! I tried to eat ‘normal’ 5 bites this weekend and gained 1.5 :ohmy: :ohmy:
Got back on board and it came right off. I am going to go back to bars for now for a couple more weeks and then will try regular food then.
