Wow–that was a great reflection, Carmel!  Thanks for sharing it!

I like that!

I love that, Heather!  You are 146 now, no?  Does that put you at 125 or so?  Just for giggles, how about 120?  ;)

Great job in losing those 40 pounds last time you were here, Heather.  But my feeling is always this:  why not lose even more, and do it in much less time.  You guys can, you know.  It’s all about your mindset.  IF, though, you want the end result badly enough, you will simply refuse to eat a 6th bite, and in so doing will approach the finish line…[Read more]

Brilliant.  You are in the right place, Mel.  Now that you’ve started off on a good foot, settle in for the ride.  It’ll be wild.  It’ll be tough at times.  But in the end, it will all be so incredibly worth it!!

Yes it will.  So, so, sweet and extraordinary.  So spectacular, in fact, what you are guys waiting for?

Welcome, Mel.   It’s great that you are back on the 5-bite program.  Before, when you were 117, how long did you maintain that before you started gaining the weight back?  Why did you gain the weight back?  How long did it take?  And did you feel SO MUCH better at 117 than where you are now?

Brilliant, Heather!  How you feel is much better than any food could have made you feel, no?

Great.  And if you really pay attention to your body when you are sick, you’ll realize you just aren’t hungry.  The inflammation from the infection will kill your appetite.  Granted, most people eat because they think they need the energy or something, but if anything the extra food just makes you feel worse.  So good job, and feel better soon!

Thanks for sharing, Chapinj!

And Heather … how is today going thus far?

Hi Heather.  Right; hang in there.   You are doing this for YOU, not your parents.  You want to be thin, because YOU understand the extraordinary physical, health, and emotional benefits.  So let’s just do it.  OK?!

Please don’t justify an extra bite of anything.  NO food is healthy or beneficial in any way when you have excess fat on the body.…[Read more]

OK.  Great.  Then let’s stick with regular food, but PLEASE DON’T ESTIMATE.  It’s hard, but if your husband puts a piece of steak on the plate that looks like about 5 bites, you might justify eating the whole thing.  But, when you actually dig in, you find that it takes 8 bites to finish the steak.  PLEASE throw the last 3 bites out!.  Bet…[Read more]

So wonderful to have you here, Heather!  Your mere presence tells me that you are going to do great!  So, let’s do it!

Please tell me, what you are eating currently and how much.  Can you do just bars for the first week?  Have you ever tried that before?

Fantastic, Rachel!  Now that you’ve come this far, might you be willing to go a little further?  Can you make it through another hour staying perfect?  How about 2 hours? Each time the hunger come on, remind yourself that it WILL go away.  Just stay strong and bide your time.  And for every hour of focus you put behind you, the hours in front of y…[Read more]

Welcome back!

OK: let’s do it this time!  Let’s go all the way!  Just imagine being skinny–really thin.  Would you rather be in those shoes or would you rather finish your meals?

Great.  Let’s see where this plan goes.  My only issue would be that of hunger, but if you find that these tiny meals all adequately fill you up, then GREAT!!   I couldn’t ask for anything ore!

Super attitude!  You are going to do super well and live an exceptional lifestyle!

Brilliant!!

Congratulations, Samantha!  Great job!  5 pounds in 1 day?  A good portion of it was perfect eating, but admittedly another good portion was water loss (which follows fat loss).  Keep up the great work!!
