Don't feel bad about not posting on the challenge thread, I don't mind coming here to check on ya

what is a bento laptop container?? and yeah I think my bites are bigger than average... I know they are bigger than what dr lewis had in mind but it's not like a take big bites, I just take what is a normal bite for me but I can probably work on that. Use a smaller spoon or something.. maybe we need those baby spoons, LOL ok maybe that would be a bit much. Hang in there though, that scale will start moving again, your meals look great!

Bento lunchboxes are a way to add variety and portion control into your diet. Everything is in it's own little compartment. I like the idea of adding variety to the bites. You can only buy the lunchboxes online and they are kind of pricey, but I splurged.

I have a feeling I will show a gain for tomorrow b/c I ate Mexican tonight...very high sodium, just 5 bites though! : ))))

Wish me luck for my weigh in tomorrow...if I can just maintain w/out a gain I will be happy! Those bites are pretty big on Mexican night!

So I gained .2 from that Mexican food...not too bad. I knew those bites were big and filled with sodium. But at least I stuck with the 5 bites while eating my trigger food. I'm going to drink some extra water today and possibly do an enema...I know TMI but I haven't gone to the bathroom in a week. Something else I know I need to do is to not mix my bites...like don't eat a bite of stew w/ a chip w/dip on top of it...that's cheating b/c I have a big mouth and this just makes my bites too big. When I went to bed last night I was still full and not hungry at all...If you feel empty you know you are losing a lot...and that is key at the end of the day.

Overall an average of 9.1 pounds lost in almost 2 weeks is really awesome and I'm just going to try to keep going!

Good luck today! You can do it MIGHTY WARRIORS!!!!

wow girl you are rocking it.. I am off to a bday party so can not tell all yet.. but I am good .. Take care supre girl.. you are doing soooooooooooooooooo Excellent!!!

Well, that sucked!!! I went to lunch today the best intentions of adding some salad/vegetables into my 5 bites...why I ordered soup I don't know. I ate a small side salad and a half a bowl of crab bisque for lunch, so I'm sure I will show a gain tomorrow. I was upset too that my weight stalled this morning so I may have lost my resolve partially because of that (no excuse). Clearly cheating twice a week isn't going to get me to my goal any time soon. Also, I am at a very tricky weight now for my body. I've had a lot of trouble breaking into the 170s before so this means I'm going to have to get into all out battle mode to blast my way out of the 180s! If I have a gain tomorrow which I probably will, I can't let that lessen my resolve to get this done!

I know you can keep this going.. you are soooooooooooooooooo close girl.. Im with you all the way!!

Bless you Sunshine!

Well, clearly going in the wrong direction here! I left my lunch at home and had to get the salad bar at school. I had a small salad and 5 bites for dinner. We will see what happens tomorrow on the scale. I am eating my lunch tomorrow b/c it is already packed, but I'm thinking of having vegetables for lunch and trying that for a while....like baby carrots w/hummus or broccoli w/ranch dip. Just realized this morning that I have gained and lost the same 10 pounds for the past 5 months straight...it was a very depressing day...something must be done!

Seams like you have a really clever body... figures you out then slows you down.. maybe you should shake it up a bit like the zig zag method to see if you can fool your body into beleive it is not starving.. ??? clealy what you are eating is not many calories honey.. its your body not responding.. eat only low carb for a few days.. 20 net carbs , like induciton.. that can kick start it too.. You will find your way around this 10lb up down see saw.. I know it .. .. try not to be so hard on yourself.. You are such a beautiful person honey..

Have a great day!!

I agree, it doesn't take our bodies long to figure out what we are doing and rebel lol some people have those metabolisms where they can eat 1200 cals a day everday until they hit their goal and then there are people like us that sure, it works for a week, maybe even two weeks then comes to a snails pace or stalls all together. How do we fight it? by tricking our bodies lol we have to make it think we aren't dieting at all.. a couple days of strict dieting followed by a day of higher eating etc, we may lose a little slower but at least it will be consistant. Well I hope anyway, I'm trying that zig zag method right now so I'll be your guinea pig and see if it truly works for us with crazy metabolisms lol

I'm in the same boat snow same 10 lbs 190 to 180 and back to 190 I think we just need to stick to the plan and make a real hard push and we'll get past this I'm just getting back on plan now let's get thru this together .we can do this

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! I don't know about the calorie cycling unless I went with less bites 5, 4, 3 or something like that...if I eat more than 5, I gain period! And then these "special events" kill me too. Like this Sunday we have a church picnic and hello I'm going to eat! Again on my cruise, hello I'm going to eat. I'm going to keep on going and lose as much as I can before the cruise, then when I get back I'll have to figure this out. Tomorrow I am eating vegetables for lunch...we'll see how that goes! : )))))))

Huh???? I'll take it!!!!!!!!!

10 pounds in 19 days with PCOS!!! I am thrilled!!! We'll see if it was a fluke tomorrow! I did eat vegetables for lunch today so hopefully I will be able to at least maintain my loss! Wish me luck!

b- coffee w/chocolate creamer
l- 1 bite almonds, 2 bites raw baby carrots, 2 bites raw broccoli, w/hummus & ranch dip for the veggies
d- 5 bites chicken cheesy tater tot casserole

I figured 2 small baby carrots was a bite, so I had a total of 4 small baby carrots, 2 small broccoli flowerettes, and 1 tablespoon of almonds all with the hummus & ranch dip and I left most of the dip behind...I had measured out 2 tablespoons of each. It went well and I felt fine until dinner.

Wow you are doing great.. you are eating way less in calories though.. wow.. Ok.. and what is a chicken tator tot caserole

Well, it's been a great week on the 5BD...but that church picnic is coming soon! I am committed to eating the nuts and raw veggies at lunch...2 days and that seems to be going well. It does fill me up and it's probably good to be eating some fiber especially with this diet. The cruise is in 7 days and I plan on eating like a fool there! But when I get back, I know how to undo the damage and I will!!!!!!

Congratulations getting to the 170s your doing fantastic

Girl you are knocking it out of the Park.. Gotta a idea for you.. Go on the Cruise.. eat 3 bites of anyting you want on your plate.. and 3 bites desert.. this way you will still only consume around 12 bites per meal.. it will give you the chance to enjoy your self without expanding your tummy.. maybe then going back to 5 bites won't be hard.. Yay for Cruises.. We are still Planning our Alaskan on Next Spring.. sooooooooooo exctited for you!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful sounding recipe.. Have a super day!!!

.2 lb. loss is not much but I'll take it! : )))) Maintaining and moving forward...weekends are very hard so we'll see what happens! Wish me luck! : )))))

b-coffee w/chocolate creamer
l- 1 bite almonds, 2 bites raw broccoli, 2 bites raw baby carrots w/hummus
d- 2 bites chips & dip, 2 bites hard taco, 1 bite soft taco

There is a festival tomorrow...you know funnel cakes and the like and then Sunday is the church picnic so this weekend could be totally blown up very soon! If this happens, I might could do the vegetables for lunch and dinner next week. We'll see how it goes....We leave for the cruise next Friday so I was really trying to lose as much as possible before we leave.

Your doing great keep it up get thru the difficult times as they come

Well, at first glance this looks like a pretty good week, but I'm headed to a festival today and then the church picnic tomorrow...both big time triggers for me. You know if I hadn't been so naughty in the past I could actually enjoy these eating events without guilt...someday I will get there. I'm going to enjoy myself with the confidence that I now know how to fix it. I really won't be able to get full throttle until after this cruise and then I'm full speed ahead until Thanksgiving no excuses! I really think I will try the vegetables for lunch and dinner all week Mon.-Thurs. until we leave on Friday and see if that will help offset some of the damage I am doing. Good luck everyone! : )))))

b-coffee w/chocolate creamer
l- extra long corn dog and few bites of bbq nachos w/lemonade
d- 5 bites Mexican food leftovers

I did not 5 bite my lunch, but it certainly could have been worse! So I have the church picnic to get through tomorrow and then after that I will be 100% back on track!

Well, the picnic is over! The food was really good and I don't think I overdid it too much...it was a lot food by 5 bite standards but the truth is that I am starting to feel more control in these situations which is a real breakthrough for me.

Ya you showed great control good job that is fantastic .
