If you stick to a strict 5 bites, you should.  (I don’t care about the calorie count though.)  

Yep!  Another myth busted!

Metabolically flexible?  I’m not entirely sure what you mean other than to say this is the way we all are.  We all metabolize food in the same way, and the end of the pathway for carbon is the same: sugar or fat or vice versa.  But because the total amount of carbon in a Snickers is very low (relative, say, to…[Read more]

Great job, Carmel!  You are on the way!!!

Howdy, Gayle!  Let’s do it again tonight!

Yes!  I am on every Monday, but often (as of late) I’m the only one.  Instead of having a chat with my self I close it around 6:15 or so.

Fantastic!!

Brilliant!!

I truly do love that quote, Carmel: “We don’t have to do this, we GET to do this.”  This is SO TRUE!

Hi Mel.

You can change it.  Go to the weight tracker page and change Week 1 and Week 2 (In the “Add Your Current Weight” label) to reflect the correct weights after those weeks.  Change Week 3 to the same weight as Week 2, and after the 3rd week then you can change it again to the correct weight at that time.  OK?

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?
