I love that plan, Megan.  Your mind is in the right place.  Do the absolute best you can sticking to it, and let me know if you have any hangups.  Best of luck to you and everyone else!  

Wonderful!!!     But at this point I’m more interested in the number.  Ultimately I will care about the extra fat around the belly, but not just yet.  Keep up the GREAT work!

You need something you can go to that doesn’t contain a lot of carbon, and something with caffeine would be an added bonus.  So again, I strongly encourage a cup of coffee during this times.  As you know, I don’t want you to snack, but if you did, I guess a small bag of potato chips would be best–something that weighed no more than an ounce and g…[Read more]

Hi Mimi!  Welcome!  I’m thrilled that you are here, and I think you will find that this program is EXACTLY what you need.

First, would you please fill out the weight tracker info for me?  Thanks so much!

Secondly, as we get older, our bodies prioritize storing fat in and around our stomach.  This is bad for your health, and it’s bad for cos…[Read more]

So Kathe, please tell me:  How are you doing this week?  Today?  Are you hungry?  How many bites are you eating?

Thank you so much for your input, Kathe.  I will forward this info immediately to my web guru.  You are right, but please be patient as we work out these kinks.  My goal is to make it VERY SIMPLE and VERY FLUID.  Please be patient with me.

By the way, how are you doing?

Hi Cammie!  Welcome!

Would you please set up your weight tracking info for me?  It will so much easier for me to help you.  Thanks!

Yes.  In a little less than 1 hour from now.  Hope to see you there!   

Super!  Again, your mind is in the perfect place.  And I love the fact that you are full on the five bites.  It’s amazing how quickly your hungerstat can set when you are doing this right!  Wonderful!  May I ask: who do you live with–in other words, who do you eat with?

Hi Kathe!  Welcome back!

As I tried to post yesterday (but where did my post go?) I love your determination and commitment to finishing this project.  You are right!–you might need to be under 120–but we’ll see when we get in the ballpark.  Ultimately it’s all going to depend on how much fat is around the belly.  But you spark such opt…[Read more]

Here’s the thing: When doing a challenge like this, people forget that weight-loss can be plotted out on a gradually-plateauing curve. The less adherent to the diet you are, the more the curve plateaus. For this reason, people plan out a game of attack prior to starting the challenge and assume they are right on course to succeed, but…[Read more]

YES! Send it to charity!! :woohoo:

I’d be happy to, but I’m not what you are doing. Still, I am supportive of anything you think will help you. My email is: alewis@fivebitediet.com

Keep up the good work!

Kristina, I’m so sorry to hear that you aren’t 100% snuff right now. I hope you feel better soon. I am ALWAYS here dying to help you lose weight, so when you are ready, jump back in.

Right. Stay strong and LEARN. Learn the triggers that cause you to lose focus and avoid them. Learn how good it feels to stay strong despite a barrage of external pressure.
