How is everyone doing?

You will do it! We will all do it. Let’s stay connected and focused.

Hi Sharlet-

My perfect days are referring to just bites of food. I try not to start diet soda (zero cal drinks) until later in the day and basically use it as a bridge to get me from one meal to the next. In the morning I use a chocolate/mint LMNT packet in my coffee (I split the packet over 2 coffees) – no cream. Later, if I have an Americano…[Read more]

Ok Allison –

I can commit to bars for one meal EVERY DAY this week. This is a big commitment because I’m going to Florida with my sister to visit my mother. All they do is go out to eat. I can drink coffee or have a soda when they are eating. She, my sister, can’t say a thing to me because she has a gastric sleeve and is on year 2 of Ozempic. I…[Read more]

Good Morning Everyone!

Day 3. Such an important day. Having done this diet several times before I know that it can be the hardest days. I am ready for it! The trick is to stay happy, busy, and hydrated. It’s also helpful to plan my meals. For lunch I will have a bar and dinner I will have a 5 bite meal.

I keep telling myself – on September 17 I…[Read more]

Wow! That jean picture tells a powerful story.

Let’s do it Elizabeth!! My best advice – and I have to remember to take it – don’t lose momentum. Be as perfect as possible.

Thanks Allison! Let’s crush it together.

Thx Dr L and everyone. It was pretty awful.

Now I am back to appreciating this life that I’ve been given.

I am going to take care of myself so I can be here for the people I love.

Back on plan!! Bars for 11 days and I’m actually excited about it

Wishing you all a wonderful day

Yay!! Back on since the family tragedy. Feels good. I have 11 dieting days to go. I am pumped!!

I canceled a dinner coming up – I’m leaving nothing to chance. Nothing is going to stop me now. I got so close to goal and I’m going to get back there.

Let’s go ladies!!

Wednesday: 125.4

Happy I am maintaining this weight given some difficult few days. Death in the family of a young, seemingly healthy woman. My first cousin tragically and suddenly died of an aneurysm. Is has sent us all into a vortex of disbelief and grief. I am not eating away my sorrows. I am still eating small portions but not 5 B. I have to…[Read more]

If you’re in, let’s stay connected and inspire each other.

Tuesday – 9-5-23 (18 diet days till my wedding bash!)

Weight: 125.4

My weight bumped up 2.0 pounds. I definitely added some bites but ate reasonably. This has happened to me as I start adding more vegetables which weigh heavy. Today, I will eliminate them and go back to strict 5 B.

My goal is to lose 5 pounds by 9-23-23. My lowest weight, just…[Read more]

Great Job Faye! You are doing great. You don’t have to do bars. You absolutely can do food. 5 bites twice a day.  It’s a simple as that. Bars are used as a way to get the quantity down without as much guess work.

Keep on your path! Also – You may want to start your own post as a daily accountability journal. It can really help.

I would…[Read more]

Sunday – 123.0

WOW!! I had to get on two different scales twice to make sure that was correct. Wow – this diet is fast when you follow it closely. I have to say that I am so proud of myself. Friday night was an all out food fest but I stayed on my plan. It was a great experiment. Now – I know I can go to a party – eat my 5 b and stop. On Saturday…[Read more]

Good for you Mata! You keep focused on your goal.

Look at you!! Fantastic job. Keep crushing it. Nothing works as fast as five bite. Remember that when the competing thoughts in the head start racing or you hear the noise from others that there is another way. So happy for you!!

Thanks Rachel!
