You don’t have to do bars if you don’t want to. Snickers get boring really soon. I find it easier with real food. You are better satisfied because you eat whatever you want. No cravings…

On the other hand, bars are a practical solution. You just open one and that’s it

Gayle, that feeling of peace and ease you describe seems to be great. I have never experienced it, but I can assure you about the opposite: Being overweight makes you anxious, full of unexplained rage and makes every little task difficult, if not impossible. Makes you lazy and I HATE laziness :evil:

Hello everyone!
Last time I posted was 3-4 days ago, when I finished the bar week…
I was in a whole lot of stress these 4 days with my daughter sick, my husband out of town and my car broken down..
I took a little break because I missed so many things during the bar week. I didn’t eat exactly 5 bites. :blush:
I am starting again strong tomorrow…

5 bitegirl, I feel exactly the same. I struggle very muck to stick to a diet and I tend to have almost zero focus and determination when it comes to food.

That’s why this bar week was so important to me. I can’t belive I’M THE ONE WHO DID THIS!!!

Congratulations SocialCher! We did it!
Don’t mind what the scale says, just seek for change in appearance. I bet you improved very much!!!

Good luck on the race!!! :cheer:

Congratulations on getting your skinny back! I am sorry that you got sick. Get well soon! :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

Welcome back! If you did this once, you can do it again. And now you will know what to watch out for.

5bitegirl, you are right… I didn’t think of it like that… :cheer:

DAY 8………….1 WEEK BAR CHALLENGE COMPLETED

208,2 lbs
1,6 lbs down since yesterday

TOTAL LOSS: 6,6 lbs (3 kilos)

I am very happy I did this. I didn’t think that I would ever be able to pull through such a challenge. Now I know what I am capable of.
I expected greater loss, maybe twice as much, but I am not disappointed

Day 7: 209,8
0,8 lbs down since yesterday. (5 lbs in 6 days total)

Today is my last day of the bar week. I cannot believe I completed a bar challenge!!!

I love the energy! :laugh:

Ten pounds! Wow!!! :woohoo:

Thank you very much gayle. The support I get from this group is so important. I wouldn’t have made it without joining here

My name is Smaro.

Day 6: 210,6
0,2 lbs lost since yesterday (4,2 lbs total in 5 days :S )

Why such a little loss since yesterday? I guess I will see a bigger loss than usual tomorrow…

I had my first Snickers bar early in the morning.

At work, there were a whole lot of goodies. Some co-workers brought sweets, treats and savory things and everybody ate.…[Read more]

Tomorrow it will be easier. Everyday it gets easier. Hang on until tomorrow. And then the day after.

I TOTALLY hate being wasteful, too. I don’t think it’s environmentally friendly. All this wasted energy. And it generally doesn’t suit my character. Still, though, eating everything is not an option. Our stomachs are not trash cans.

I have been doing the following:
1.save it for next meal (eco-friendly and frugal)
2.put it in a small piece of tin…[Read more]

What an interesting point- it’s the FAT what’s wrong with having cravings. (I haven’t read the book, but I plan to order it soon) Reminds me of something I heard from a doctor in tv: “You are not fat because you eat too much, you eat too much because you are fat!”

You are doing great! Keep on!

Day 5: 210, 8 lbs
0,4 lbs gone since yesterday ( 4 lbs in 4 days)

The day was surprisingly easy. I ate my first bar in the morning. Right before eating it, I made for my children sandwiches with gouda cheese and heated them in a panini toaster. They looked yummy with all that melted cheese but I did not crave them at all! Yay! :woohoo:

I ate my…[Read more]

You guys have a lot of choices for bars. We have many types of candy bars and cereal bars (special k type) but protein bars can be found only in bodybuilding stores and some drugstores and they are quite expensive.
I have never seen a quest bar over here. Maybe i will order some online.
