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.

Great job, Kristina!

Right: Your weight does not define you. It just defines your health. So lose all of you excess weight because you NEED to. But the new, older, wiser you will find the strength, courage, and knowledge to avoid the psychological/emotional/physical trauma you suffered when you were lower in weight and younger in years.

I LOVE to hear that, Stefanne!!!! :woohoo: I am so excited for you! Now that you are in the groove, please don’t do anything to disrupt it. Don’t you dare eat that sixth bite! Wait until you are skinny and done. OMG, won’t that be the best thing ever?? :woohoo:

Goodness gracious. Here you are giving photo updates on your progress and you are worried about drawing attention to yourself? Are you kidding me? What a LAME reason for not wanting to get skinny. Remember: you health is more important that how little or how much your appearance appeals to other people. Let them think what they want and say…[Read more]

Although it’s salad, and lower in calories, you CAN’T HAVE more bites of it!!! ALWAYS keep your bite count the same. :angry:

Not a bad day, but always shoot for perfection. I like that!

Wow! Fantastic, Stefanne! I rooting for you to do the same thing (but 2 bars is perfectly fine too) tomorrow! :woohoo:

YES, Kristina. It is time. Say good bye to the old identity, and grab a backpack and walking stick, and start exploring new, uncharted territory. Leave the old self behind and find that new, STUNNING, EXTRAORDINARY new you!! :laugh:
