Welcome back sweetheart!! It’s called LIFE! We are working on undoing patterns that have developed over a lifetime. This is just part of your journey. No sweat. No embarrassment. No judgment or self-criticism. Give yourself credit for the courage to get back on the weight loss train.

Looking forward to seeing you on the chats!!

Yay Neil!!

So excited for you! What’s really interesting is that it gets easier when you’re strict and with more time that passes. I completely can relate to how hard it is to start.

Stick to what you want to do. You are in control and don’t let anyone knock you off your horse. It is for you to decide — what you eat and when you eat. It’s ok to shift and…[Read more]

I got sick and needed to go on food! I will be watching my portions and going back on strict 5 B after weekend.

I achieved my goal of getting back to SKINNY!

Keep on Keeping on!

I will be doing another challenge from Monday until mother’s day that will be focusing on process and behavior. Piks of meals, etc.

Fantastic Neil!! WHOO HOO!!

Yes Polly! You will be back as soon as you flip that switch!! You got this!! You have more successful days than not.

Sometimes we will never know what triggers us! Sooo…acknowledge your feelings, allow them and do the diet anyway. I used to get caught up in feeding the emotions and it always made things worse. It’s so much more effective when we can detach from food and deal with our emotions separately.

Easier said than done?? I know. BUT it can be done and…[Read more]

BANG BANG BANG!! Let’s know it out of the park SMARO (5 Bite Girl) and all those friends with us.

Put in the time, follow the diet and the results will follow. Today is just another Tuesday. Unremarkable, no weddings, special occasions to celebrate. Let’s just do 5 Bite and make it another day closer to SKINNY! One day closer to OPTIMAL HEALTH!…[Read more]

Fantastic results!!

I think a 3-4 pound average is MORE than double any weight loss program out there. AND — the hunger goes away. You will be at your goal in no time at this pace.

Don’t let anything (situation) or anyone stand in the way of your goal!!

You’ve been at this before so you know that it is a lot easier to stay on course and deal…[Read more]

I’m so glad SMARO! Just BANG OUT THE DAYS regardless with what the scale says. If you’re following strictly YOU MUST LOSE WEIGHT. The scale will eventually show it.

Here’s to an easy night and a great day tomorrow.

Ready to BANG day 9 in my bar challenge tomorrow.

Hi Michelle-

You are on a path to success. Whether you are eating 10 Bx2 or 5 Bx2 you will lose and reduce your appetite considerably.

Don’t worry about what anyone thinks. I know that is easier said than done, but when i started to do that, my life changed. I deserve to steer the ship of this life of mine. SO DO YOU! I’m the one that is…[Read more]

EXACTLY!! It will always PASS the uncomfortable moments. Maybe put stickies on your computer or near food cabinet and fridge like: “This craving will pass” “It’s easier than it looks” “Today I will be closer to my goal” “Go drink something” “I am creating my skinny healthy body, one bite at a time” “I am in control of my eating and my life”

The…[Read more]

Hey Smaropap (tell me your first name please)

I call this a win. Weight loss is not linear. Some days you may even gain for no increase in food intake and then WHOOSH. You’re doing so great. Shifting mindsets and making decisions that are leading you closer to your goal.

“At work, there were a whole lot of goodies. Some co-workers brought…[Read more]

Wow! Fantastic Crissa!! YOU are doing so well. I will be taking a bar break as of Sat. I may do bars just Monday – Wednesday. We shall see.

Well here’s to day 8. Love the way I swim along after Day 7.

Committed to another day of 1 bar (1/2 for lunch and 1/2 for dinner) thru Sat morning.

Feeling lighter and leaner and feeling closer to low end…[Read more]

Great Neil!! You did so so well!! Love the idea of self-evaluation and writing a response card.

Fabulous Crissa!

I use short-term goals as motivators BUT no stopping till you get to the finish line! Slips happen BUT the tough part is getting back on plan and resetting. I have reset many times. It’s just so much easier to not have hunger and to chip away at the days.

You could be at goal sooo fast!

I wasted so much time and want to make…[Read more]

You are EXCEPTIONAL Phyllis!! You inspire me and so many others. Because of you, I am now focused more on BEHAVIOR and PROCESS! This is the first time, in a long time I have not weighed and just kept my eating consistent despite the result.

You have worked long and hard to be EXCEPTIONAL, particularly in this area of weight loss and management.…[Read more]

Bring on Day 7 of BAR CHALLENGE

Time is speeding by. It always does. The momentary sacrifices, are just that, momentary. Even when eating food, I will occasionally get a momentary discomfort — wanting MORE, or wanting to eat whatever I want (when I want). I remind myself that once the craving passes, I am left with feeling light and energetic.…[Read more]

Love all my Cheerleaders! Funny thing — I’m cheering you right back!!!

Day 7: Bar Challenge – BRING IT ON!!

Plan: 1/2 bar 12-2pm for lunch; 1/2 bar 5-7pm for dinner — coffee, water and a diet beverage if I need. SF gum if needed.

Long bike ride today.

Want this vacay weight off fast and it’s happening.

Great job !!

Finished day 6 w 1 bar. Resisted the Chinese food my boys were eating. It honestly was not even a consideration. Love when I get to this place where I know that cheating is not an option and not a risk. Feel fully in control and hunger has diminished!!

Bring on day 7!!

Let’s go!!
