Thanks so much, Jamie!!  These are GREAT tips!!

Indeed.  This is why I like weekly weigh-ins.  Some of the variability inherent in those evil scales gets flushed out over a week’s time.

Like I said, Stefanne, I am totally on-board with you, and I CANNOT WAIT to follow your progress.  This week is going to be SO EXCITING!!!

I think that’s good advice!

Brilliant!!!  You are right on track!  I’m so excited for you, Jamie!!

So sorry everyone–I blanked.  We were in the midst of a Memorial day celebration with my family and my sons’ friends, and I just blanked.  But I won’t next Monday!

I love that!  You are overcoming the food demons and getting a taste of brilliant control.  Keep up the great work!!!

Yes!  It’s far from the most important reason to lose weight, but it’s just one more benefit.

I want you to do what works best for you.  I feel that 5 bites 2x a day is better than 10 bites once a day, but do what you think works best for you and your situation.

Yes.  That’s fine.  The 5BD is just a tool.  A tool that guarantees quick weight loss in as comfortable a manner as possible.  If you need to take a break, fine.  But then you’ll have to go through a few days of hunger as you turn your hungerstat back down to 5 on your next leg of the journey.

There are some issues with 10 bites once a day.  Of course, there isn’t much difference between 10 bites at one time and 5 bites twice a day in terms of calories in, but 5 bites twice a day wi…[Read more]

I love to hear that!!

Honestly, Elizabeth, I would be THRILLED with you achieving a BMI of 19.  It might also be the perfect weight for you.  But we won’t know that for sure until you get there.

You are doing great, though, Kylie!!  Don’t change a thing.  Just settle in for the ride and go with it!

You can totally do this.  So do it!!

Hang in there.  You will feel amazing in a relatively short period of time.  Just hang in there …

There is no easy way to do that, but you could manually go back and change each week to reflect your current weight.  Then, as the weeks tick by, update week #2, then week #3, etc.  OR, just leave it as it is and keep going.  You can go either way.

It’s a good start, but the key is consistency.  Get into a boring, monotonous routine of 5 bites twice a day.  Sure, the bites themselves can be spectacular, but eating should be deliberate and done–and boring.  Day in, day out.  Until you are living that fantasy life we all dream about.  It won’t take too long.  Just get into a consistent, borin…[Read more]

Letileti–That’s fine.
