Hi Debra!

This is Jennifer.  I’m back on the site again.  I joined last year and lost about 13 pounds.  I   gained it all back.  I know how it feels to give in and eat more than your 5 bites.  The best thing to do is to start again right away and not blame the diet.  I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Keep going toward the finish l…[Read more]

Day 2 down, Day 3 here we come!

What a great day you had Poppycat! It’s amazing how energized we become  when our body is not bogged down with excess digestion.  I’m so glad for your good report.  Yes, lets go into that time of year when people gain weight, and be those that baffle others with our losses. That gets me excited!  I want  to…[Read more]

Day 2 down!  Day 3 here we go!

How’s everyone doing? I encourage you to stay  focused on today.

When I began this program at the end of last April,  I thought I only had about 20+ lbs  to loose to get to MY goal, but  after talking to Dr. Lewis found out I ACTUALLY had 62 lbs to lose!  That realization was crushing at first because the dista…[Read more]

I agree Racheal, mistakes always belong behind us, right?   A new day, a new opportunity. Life is a one-way ride, no do-overs, but ALWAYS another chance to live it out better today.

Sleeping in…warm bath…I love it!  Get it when you can!

1st bar down (I always eat early 11AM lunch) and black coffee with French Vanilla Stevia drops and I’m d…[Read more]

So excited for you Rachael. Your determination is inspiring!

You are all doing so well!  Yay!

Day 1 was yesterday and I did great! My plan to avoid the kitchen is working so far! I work from home so you may see my dilemma. The fridge and I are old frenemies. LOL.

Poppycat your upcoming trip sounds wonderful.  I love England, but I’ve never been to Norway.  The next 6 weeks will go well I’m sure!

Sorry, unable to make it tonight, but I’ll watch the replay.  I will be available next Monday night! Hope it goes well

Good morning Day 1!  Nicely done Gayle!  So glad you started this challenge.   Brilliant idea and opportunity to clean out your kitchen, Poppycat.   Rachael, so glad you also joined in.  I wish you all the best success!

Today I’m off to a good start.  I’m changing up my habits so I get better results.  I’ve put a coffee maker in my guest bedroo…[Read more]

Yes it is!  For us all!

Oh yay!  What a great support team!  Here we go (again!).

I have all my bars laid in store!

Beeeeeeeep…..

Hi Mel,

I read your note and I’m super sad to see you go for now, but I totally get it. What you are experiencing is what kicked me out of the program at the end of last August.  I kept up my membership going just as a way to ensure I didn’t abandon ship completely. I think if I didn’t renew my membership each month I wouldn’t…[Read more]

Hey all!  I’ll happily join the bar challenge.  Count me in too!  A good solid 8 days of just bars will do so much good! Thanks for the invite!

That’s great Dr. Lewis…the fun is in riding it out and seeing the scale drop!!!  I love it!

How cool you just got a beach shower curtain, Mel!  It’s a sign, LOL! And a big round of applause  to racing past your hubby! You are doing amazingly well!

Gayle, funny you should mention Dopamine Nation…it’s on my reading list. How cool is that???  I…[Read more]

Oh my, you women are so encouraging!  When it comes to food and 5BD compliance, if one of us has thought it or felt it, likely the others have too.  Knowing I am not alone is priceless. I admire the honesty I have found here.   I agree with everything you have all said.

Without the confines of the stomach staples  from a bypass, our comp…[Read more]

Thanks Gayle! We’ve got this!

Today is a new day!  Good things are happening!  We are in this together, although we walk it out individually.  There is no better place to look for a great cheerleading session than here.

Poppycat, so glad you caught your condition early; you are very blessed to have found out when you did.   We are  so  glad to have you here with us!…[Read more]

Poppycat, thank you for chiming in with such wonderful advice and encouragement for us. You are great example of someone who overcame their weight issue through 5BD!   However I, too, am very sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis.  You are so kind to reach out to us, especially  in the midst of a  personal crisis.  My very best to you as you o…[Read more]
