You’re truly leading by example, and I have no doubt your allotment neighbour, your work colleague, and soon everyone around you will want to be on the 5BD.

Keep going — you’re inspiring all of us with your consistency, positivity, and commitment.

Onwards!

I will be joining you soon too!  Hopefully just a couple more weeks

Well done to you! I know how good this feels.

I also had a couple of difficult days last week dealing with challenging people, and I’m so grateful I didn’t let it get the better of me.

Instead, I sat with the difficult feelings and allowed the emotions to run their course. I still feel a little upset about the whole sit…[Read more]

I think your body is becoming happier at its new, lower set point.  Well done!!

I can’t wait to get there too!

Onwards!

You are doing so well!

I love the dragon picture — you’ve absolutely slayed the process.

Keep going, you’re doing an amazing job!

Allison – I too struggle with emotional eating, but I am doing my best to learn that it never helps!  Wishing us both a good week

This is fabulous

Choo-choo!

I want to be on the same train as you Jane

Choo-choo!

I had the exact same thought & was excited to read your post Elizabeth.

Welcome back

Wishing everyone a happy 5-bite day!

Onwards!

love your profile pic

Only 29 days to go!

I an being perfect!

Onwards!

We’ve got this!

Onwards!

Day 30 is complete.  The food craziness is over & I am getting back on track!

Onwards!

Catherine — what you shared about getting through those first three days was absolutely golden. I’ve been going back and reviewing the video again and again!

I am back from my volunteering session.  I am very tired and hungry.  I have had a snickers bar and will have another one at dinner time.

I need to reset my hungerstat asap.  I am going to do a 30 day countdown.  This will help me focus on just counting down the days and being perfect.  I need to keep it simple to stay on track for…[Read more]

I’m slowly getting back into this.  I did have breakfast this morning (a bagel) but I will have a snickers for lunch and dinner today.

I’m volunteering this morning at a local foodbank to give back to our community for charity, so that should be fun and will keep me busy.

07/05 – 139 lbs
08/05 – 138 lbs

This is very motivating!!

07/05 – 139 lbs

I just had 5 bites of food for lunch.  3 bites cheese sandwich & 2 bites cherry pie.

Fairly large bites…but at least I have started.

Sipping on herbal tea now until dinner.  If I get hungry black coffee will be my friend.

I’m disappointed to say that I became ill last weekend, and since then I’ve struggled with overeating and unfortunately undone a lot of the progress I had made.

While it’s frustrating to feel like I’m back at the beginning, I’m choosing to start again with renewed commitment. This experience has shown me that trying to do it alone…[Read more]

Jennifer – yes I agree salad is a tricky one just to take 5 bites from.  If you really crave a salad, perhaps next time put it in between 2 slices of buttered toast.  This will make the 5 bites more satisfying

Eat what you love and leave the rest !

I believe we all do this from time to time, and with time they do become less frequent.

Again awareness is key and you will be back on track tomorrow

Small efforts everyday create massive results!

You’re doing so well creating new ideas along the way

Let’s do it and when we slip up, let’s talk about it… I think this helps us to grow and learn, and then take action to see what we can do better next time.

I’m looking forward to my snickers bar for lunch soon

Onwards!

Let’s go! 

Only 10 days to go, I can do this!

I am so happy to have reached 129 Ibs by being absolutely perfect over the last 6 days or so.

I have decided that counting down really works for me.

So I am going to challenge myself to a new “10 Day Countdown” starting today.

Friday 1st May – 129 Ibs

Come and join me and let’s be perfect together!

Happy Friday!

I had a sneaky look at the scale.  I couldn’t resist…
I am 6lbs down since last Sunday

I am now 129lbs – Feels wonderful!

Alaska Gal – you’ve got this!!
Jane – no eating after midday is amazing!!  I agree its easy to eat in the evening and I’ve fired the night time eater too

16 more days to go!  I need to stay extra focused today.  My mind keeps thinking about food.

I need to stay busy this morning

Always good to have a plan and awareness is everything

Onwards!

So inspiring!!

I’m amazed how counting down the days is helping me focus!

Onwards!

The days really do go by quite fast once you get into this.

Now I don’t feel hungry at all, and I’m comfortable eating 2 snickers each day and sipping black coffee.

I can and will do this for just 17 more days!

Onwards!

Onwards!

Feels easier to not weigh-in and just tick the days off.  There is no negotiating with myself.

I have no choice but to be perfect

I just had my snickers bar for dinner and completed Day 19 perfectly

Onwards!

Let’s do this together

19 more days for me to go

I am following the 5BD rules perfectly.

Wishing you all a great week ahead!

Onwards!

I’m focusing on 20 days following 5BD rules exactly.

Counting down from today!

Today is day 20…let’s go!

Onwards!
